Introduction
In the Pilbara’s harsh climate, where extreme heat poses risks to water quality and operational safety, a major mining company required a potable water storage solution engineered for reliability and resilience. Coerco responded with advanced insulated tank technology, combining robust construction, thermal stability, and tailored features to ensure safe, efficient water storage in one of Australia’s toughest regions.
The Challenge
With high ambient temperatures in the Pilbara, stored water was at constant risk of temperature fluctuations, compromising both safety and usability across the site.
The mining company required a system that not only met capacity needs but also adhered to precise project specifications, including customised fittings and insulation options.
Transporting and positioning large insulated tanks in a remote region posed significant logistical challenges, demanding a reliable fleet and expert coordination with on-site personnel.
The Solution
Coerco’s tanks are manufactured with hexene polyethylene, coated in 50mm spray-on polyurethane foam, and topped with a hard protective layer. This ensures maximum thermal stability, critical for maintaining the integrity of stored liquids in extreme heat.
The insulated design minimises energy requirements for heating or cooling and prevents condensation, which could compromise tank longevity and safety. Additionally, the insulation protects personnel from burns and reduces the impact of external environmental factors.
Coerco worked closely with the mining team to ensure the tanks met specific project requirements, including custom outlet configurations and insulation colour preferences (white or beige).
THE IMPACT
Thermal Stability
Tanks designed to withstand extreme heat while maintaining stable internal conditions.
Operational Efficiency
Reduced operational costs through insulation that minimised heating or cooling requirements.
Seamless Logistics
A logistics operation that ensured timely delivery and setup, supporting uninterrupted mining processes.
