The SBS Group, as a leading provider of innovative and technologically advanced water storage solutions, delivering water and sanitation services to the people of South Africa.
SBS offers a range of over 500 sizes of water storage tanks that meet the need for a variety of uses from rainwater harvesting, domestic storage and commercial storage on limited footprints to municipal water supply and storage, and effluent or process water storage. Tank capacities range from 7000 litres to 4.4 million litres offering a comprehensive and effective solution that can be installed in a matter of days.
“We are proud of the fact that our water storage tanks have been installed all across South Africa, into Africa and across the world,” says Mava Gwagwa, Director: New Business Development. “We can confidently say that we make a difference – fast. One of the many benefits of an SBS tank is the modular nature which ensures quick installation with no heavy lifting equipment making them suitable for remote areas with limited or no road access.”
What does this mean for clients and partners?
- SBS can install large scale water or liquid storage solutions in a matter of days, delivering on the promise of “water for all” quickly.
- Despite the speed of installation, SBS tanks have a life expectancy of 65 years, with the internal liner keeping the water away from the tank structure and carrying its own 10-year warranty.
- The modular nature of the tank, built from Zincalume panels, means that they can be installed anywhere – no matter how remote the location and even if there is no existing access road. Panels and equipment can be transported to site on light delivery vehicles or carried by hand.
- SBS tanks are built from the ground up, using a jacking system, which prevents the need for heavy equipment on site. This reduces the overall cost to client including that of site establishment and speeds up installation time.
- Tanks can be dismantled and relocated, if necessary, for example at projects where new pipelines are installed and municipal flush tanks are required, or for operational site camps where infrastructure construction is taking place over a long distance and long period of time.
- SBS water storage tanks maximise storage capacity on a limited footprint, utilising vertical space effectively. This is ideal for established sites or sites where space is at a premium.
- In projects where mass storage is required, multiple SBS tanks can be installed and connected, allowing for fast and continuous water supply to communities, even during routine system maintenance ensuring ongoing service delivery.
- As a Proudly South African business, SBS is Level 2 BBBEE, SABS ISO9001 and SABS ISO45001 compliant.
SBS has delivered water storage solutions to the African continent and beyond for almost 25 years and looks forward to the next 25 years partnering with Municipalities to deliver on the mandate of water for all. Together we can overcome the challenges faced and bring water and sanitation services to people living in communities.
