Our commitment to nature
We’re working with nature to provide Australians with pure, clean water every day of the year in urban, industrial and rural environs. Installation and delivery of our water tanks and other poly products will ensure minimum impact on nature and surroundings.
Delivery
KILKEE DELIVERS TO
South Australia
New South Wales (selected areas)
Victoria (selected areas)
Please advise when placing your order the anticipated date you requires the tanks.
DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS
Clients will not be allowed to assist with off-loading water tanks.
Tanks will be placed in a safe area as long as our driver decides there will be no risk to property or life, this is a delivery service only we are not installers.
All safety measurements will be at the discretion of Kilkee’s truck driver, in relation to access, terrain, and weather.
Tanks will only be placed on pre-made pads as long as our driver decides there will be no risk to property or life.
Muddy grounds deemed to be unsafe will mean placing the tanks at a safer more solid location.
Once tanks are placed they become the property of the client.
If access to the site is not ready or adequate, tanks will be off-loaded on the site deemed safe by our driver.
It is preferable for tanks to have fittings installed at our factory but may be fitted on site when necessary.
SITE PREPARATION
(PRIOR TO DELIVERY)
Our truck and trailer are 19m long. We require 5m of height and 3.5m of width to clear obstructions, e.g. trees and structures.
The client is responsible to:
- Clear site access ready for our driver to off-load includes cutting overhanging tree branches prior to arrival.
- Secure empty tanks against rolling and wind conditions
INSTALLATION
PLUMBING
OUTLET PIPES – In all installation, make sure outlet pipes are well supported and not reliant on the water tank walls for stability.
STANDS – With water tanks on stands, pipes should be supported by the stand, not the water tank.
SAND BASE – A 100mm bed of packing sand is a suitable base. Ensure that the sand is 300mm wider than the base of the water tank and that the sad is appropriately retained so that it cannot erode from under that water tank. i.e. pipe the overflow away from the water tank base.
BURYING YOUR WATER TANK
Your water tank can be buried up to 1 meter, but will require:
A 200mm thick sand base and 200mm of sand around the sides for protection (from rocks and other debris that might be damaging).
The effect of ground water and its ability to push things out of the ground must be considered. If burying your water tank Kilkee recommends that you seek the advice of a certified engineer. This process will ensure the longevity and safety of your water tank.
When burying it is imperative that you plumb the overflow water away from your water tank. This will ensure that no ground water will undermine the water tank.
Kilkee will not be held liable for any damage that may occur to the tank being pushed out of the ground.
OVERFLOW + OUTLET POSITION
Please consider at which point you would like your overflow and outlet positioned (noting position 12 is the inlet)
Hi Jennine & John!
It has been a pleasure doing business with reliable and professional people, like you are. People that communicate and do as they say.
Unfortunately, this is becoming a bit of a rarity these days.
Thanks again and you all have a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year as well!
