If you want the ability to store precious rain without losing any space, then installing concrete rainwater tanks underground could be the perfect solution.

At R & F Building Industries we are specialists when it comes to water tanks and we’ve helped many people take the underground option for tank placement. As suppliers and installers of concrete tanks manufactured by leading firm Taylex Tanks, we’re sold on their many advantages. And we’re pretty sure you can be too.

Concrete tanks are built to last. Whether you are on a rural property or an urban block, that’s what you want. A durable option that will withstand fire, ground movement and heat without bending or twisting. And that’s what you get when you select concrete.

Whether you install a 5000 litre tank or a 31,500 litre model, you’ll have the satisfaction of being able to effectively store free water without eating into your backyard space or impacting on the aesthetics of your property. Going underground is a hidden solution when it comes to rainwater tanks and it’s becoming a popular choice on properties across Victoria. The only part of the tank on show is an inspection hole at ground level.

R & F Building Industries’ team is committed to supplying quality products. When it comes to concrete rainwater tanks, Taylex builds them tough, using more concrete than most other brands available across the nation. Steel mesh sheets reinforce bases, lids and walls, all tanks are engineer-certified as are the light trafficable lids set for underground installation.

Underground concrete rainwater tanks keep water cool and, because they provide a dark environment, control the problematic growth of algae. They can also be placed under driveways as long as appropriate engineering has been taken into account when creating the slab.

Of course these concrete beauties are also available for above-ground and in-ground use too and come in a range of shapes and sizes. You can also ask our team about the poly tanks and steel tanks we supply too as well as a range of pumps and other fittings needed for effective rainwater storage systems.
