Firefighting Water Tanks – Certified Protection for Industrial and Commercial Projects
Did you know that lacking a certified firefighting water tank can result in costly fines or even suspension of your facility’s operations? Fire safety is a mandatory requirement across Poland and the EU—for logistics centers, factories, fuel stations, and residential developments alike.
GreenTeam’s corrugated steel tanks offer a durable, regulation-compliant solution that safeguards both people and property, while ensuring full compliance with national fire safety standards.
Legal Requirements for Firefighting Water Tanks in Poland
Under Polish law, all facilities must ensure access to an external firefighting water supply—especially in areas lacking a municipal hydrant system. The key regulations include:
- Polish Building Code (Regulation from April 12, 2002, Dz.U. 2019 item 1065 with later amendments)
- Polish Standard PN-B-02857:2017-04, outlining external firefighting water source requirements
In such cases, on-site water tanks must provide sufficient volume and pressure for a specified duration. Failure to meet these criteria may result in financial penalties or building use restrictions.
What Requirements Must Firefighting Tanks Fulfill?
To be fully effective in emergencies, firefighting tanks must meet strict technical and operational standards:
- Capacity: Ranges from 50 m³ for smaller office buildings to 1,000 m³ or more for industrial sites
- Durability & Leak-Tightness: Corrosion-resistant steel, compatible with hydrant systems and fire pumps
- Rapid Refilling: Designed for efficient replenishment within hours
- Connections & Accessibility: Equipped with Storz-type couplings (DN 75/100) for fire truck access, clear markings, and unobstructed approach zones
- Maintenance Features: Anti-algae covers and water-level monitoring systems to ensure hygiene and operational readiness
GreenTeam tanks combine state-of-the-art engineering with full compliance:
- High-grade steel: S550GD+Z600 construction with Solano anti-corrosion coating for weather resistance
