When putting your building application into Planning SA or Council, they might request engineering documents on the tank to dot the i’s and cross the t’s.
Pioneer stands out among other water tank manufacturers, by offering independently certified engineering documents on all their tanks. These are also sometimes called General arrangement drawings which provide the council with all the dimensions, designs and specifications they need to ensure you are getting a strong, safe and secure water tank.
We offer these at no cost to you, as our continued commitment to providing the best value and strongest water tank on the market.
