Water attenuation tanks are a must when it comes to temporary storage of surface water runoff as a result of a storm or heavy rains.
Water attenuation literally means controlling the flow of water and these tanks help in channelizing the water and storing it in tanks either for use in the future, or eventually for releasing it into a larger water course or a drainage system.Typically water attenuation techniques and methods are practised in those areas where there is moderate to heavy rainfall and there is an underlying danger that in case water is not stored in attenuation tanks, it will flow freely on the ground and lead not only to flooding but also erosion of the soil.Erosion of the soil leads to loss of fertility and excessive erosion leaves the soil unfit for future use.
Although water attenuation tanks are sturdy and easily last several years without the need for any maintenance and repairs, all manufacturers provide warranties for quality material and workmanship.All tanks go through a state of the art production process and a quality process that is rigorous and aimed at zero defect tolerance.
Water attenuation tanks are either above the ground or below the ground. Availability of space and the underlying costs are the main criteria that influence the decision-making process of whether attenuation tanks should be located above the ground or below the ground.
Smaller water attenuation tanks are mostly installed on the ground in the back of gardens and yards so that water can be drained out easily to water the plants or used otherwise in the garden. In those cases where the tanks are installed underground, the water in the tank is normally pumped out.Attenuation tanks are mostly made of galvanized steel. Galvanized steel is not only sturdy and rust free, but it is also easy on the pocket.Most tanks have interior walls made of rich resin that provides a surface that is resistant to corrosion and chemicals and has excellent flow characteristics.
The walls are typically made of three layers so that the performance of the tank is optimized and there is greater durability, safety and risk-free storage. Water attenuation tanks come in different shapes and capacities. The most widely sold shape is the cylindrical one that has many variants. There are many suppliers of water attenuation tanks in the UK and apart from just selling tanks most suppliers now also undertake services related to installation of the tanks.This is done on a turnkey basis. Most suppliers have tie ups and contacts in the industry and can easily organize installation of the tanks.Some of the well known suppliers of water attenuation tanks in the UK are ACO TECHNOLOGIES PLC, Premier Tech Aqua Limited, Kingspan Environmental Water Management, Liquivault Limited and CSS (North West) Limited.
