Detention tanks help to manage stormwater runoff from properties during periods of high rainfall. As urban housing density increases detention tanks are being mandated by local Councils.

They temporarily detain a required volume of water during a rain event, releasing it to the stormwater system at a very slow rate. This is achieved by restricting the flow rate from the tank.

We manufacture detention tanks to your individual requirements.

Detention tanks with additional storage.

A detention tank temporarily stores water during a rainfall event and for the time it takes to drain away. At all other times it must be kept empty.

You must pay for a tank that will not provide you with usable water.

When you install a detention tank consider a tank that has greater capacity than the council requires. The extra volume can be retained for your use.

A slight increase in the diameter of a round tank provides extra water at minimal extra cost.

We install an additional outlet fitting into an over-sized detention tank to give you access to the extra retained water.
