True Reflection?
A fair question has been raised about how member-funded organisations should conduct themselves when taking a public position on any…
Permastore tanks, distributed by All Pumps Southland, are made of steel protected by silica glass fused to the interior and exterior.
Southland dairy farmers Ann and Allan Black (500 Jerseys) are the first to use the tanks in New Zealand, having “for decades” seen the tanks used in their native Scotland, where their family runs a large farming business. They used the tanks for effluent and for grain storage.
The fusion of glass and steel makes use of the best properties of both materials, says All Pumps Southland – the strength and flexibility of steel and the corrosion resistance of glass.
Simple, modular bolted-together construction allows the tanks to be installed quickly and cost effectively. They can be extended, dismantled or re-sited.
The above the ground storage is secure against flooding and minimises the risk of people falling in the tanks.
All Pumps offers diameter and height options; storage capacity ranges from 100 – 50,000m3.
The Blacks’ 4m high 2 million L circular tank sits on a reinforced concrete base in the corner of a paddock.
A ladder is used to gain access to the top of the tank and can be pushed up for safety.
Colour options are blue and green. Pumping and stirring be by motor or tractor PTO.
