Fire Protection & Fire Sprinkler Water Storage Tanks
A dedicated fire water reserve for hydrant and automatic sprinkler systems — sized from your fire protection design and coordinated with the fire pump set.
- Dedicated fire reserve
- Sized from your design
- Ground, elevated or terrace
A reserve kept for one job
A fire protection water storage tank holds the water a building or site sets aside for firefighting. Keeping that reserve dedicated — rather than drawn down by daily use — is central to most fire safety designs.
Automatic sprinkler systems also need a reliable supply for the duration set in their design. Where mains supply alone cannot provide that, a dedicated tank holds the required volume for the sprinkler pumps.
AVM Prefabricated Modular Tanks LLP supplies prefabricated steel tanks for both duties at commercial buildings, residential developments, institutions and industrial sites. Capacity, location and connections follow the design prepared by your fire consultant.

Planning around the fire system
Design-led volume
Storage is set by the hydrant and sprinkler design rather than guessed.
Clean suction
A covered tank and planned outlets protect the pump set.
Fits the site
Tanks can be planned for ground level, elevated platforms or terraces.
Information your fire designer will provide
The fire protection design sets the tank — not the other way round. Before ordering, confirm:
Consider these factors
- Required flow and supply duration (hydrant and/or sprinkler)
- The design standard, local fire authority or insurer requirement
- Whether a combined or separate reserve is needed
- Pump set arrangement and suction requirements
- Tank location, refill and level-monitoring arrangements

Frequently asked questions
A tank that holds a dedicated water reserve for a building or site’s firefighting system, such as hydrants and sprinklers.
A tank that stores the water an automatic sprinkler system needs for its design duration, supplying the sprinkler pumps.
From the fire protection design: the required flow multiplied by the supply duration set by the applicable standard, fire authority or insurer.
That depends on the fire protection design and local requirements. Your fire consultant decides whether a combined or separate reserve is needed.
No certification is implied. Any approval required by your project must be confirmed and documented for the specific product.
