Carat XXL Underground Firefighting Water Tanks provide a dependable and immediate water supply to fire brigades in the event of a fire emergency.
Purpose-built with the right connections for the efficient and effective delivery of water, the Carat XXL is specifically designed for situations where the mains water supply may be insufficient.
It ensures that a critical volume of water is always available — helping to protect lives, animals, and property across Ireland.
Thanks to its modular tank design, the Carat XXL system allows for large storage volumes, with tanks joined together using electrofusion-welded low-level connections to guarantee a robust and leak-proof solution.
Mains top-up valves can be incorporated to maintain water levels automatically, and the system can be seamlessly integrated with building management systems (BMS) to provide real-time monitoring and control.
Ideal for a wide range of projects, including schools, hotels, hospitals, train stations, airports, wind farms, petrol stations, industrial facilities, and residential developments, the Carat XXL delivers both reliability and performance when it matters most.
