Water Storage Tanks for Parking Lots

Parking Decks provide a wide range of possibilities, because we could build something underground, or use the deck as a foundation for something considered above-ground. Most of what I see is concrete, integrated into the structure itself. It's a compelling argument, to use some part of the structure that isn't suitable for anything else. 

Option 1 - Underground Fiberglass


Advantages:
Space-efficient
20 year warranty
Shortest installation period

Disadvantages:
Size limited to what can be trucked (can be ganged together)
First cost - $2-3/gallon
12 week lead time


Option 2 - Concrete

Advantages:
Space efficient
First Cost
No size restrictions

Disadvantages:
Leaks are common
Limited warranty

Example: NCR Headquarters (used area under a ramp)

Option 3 - Above-Ground Plastic



Advantages:
Lowest first cost up to 10-20,000 gallons
8 Year warranty
Shortest installation period
Repairable
Aesthetics 

Disadvantages
Size limited to 10,000 gallon (but can be ganged together)
Vertical cylinder shape
Material handling if must be replaced

Example: 1230 Peachtree St


Option 4 - Above Ground Corrugated Steel

Advantages:
Lowest first cost 10-20,000 gallons and larger
20 year warranty
1 week installation period
4-8 week lead time
Material handling if must be replaced (or moved)

Disadvantages:
Space inefficient - Vertical cylinder shape (use flat roof option)


Option 5 - Above-Ground Panel Tank



Advantages
Space efficient rectangular shape
Unique footprints possible to work around columns, etc.
1 week installation period

Disadvantages:
Higher cost - $2-3/gallon
12 week lead time

Example: Interface Headquarters
