Water Storage Tank Design & Challenges, featuring a Site Tour (#2024-21)

General Water Tank Design: If properly designed, installation of a water storage tank can provide additional drinking water and fire storage, replace a pump station with gravity driven pressure and flow, and improve water quality, among other things. If poorly designed, it can create numerous problems for a system. In this presentation we will discuss the basics of water storage tank design and considerations to avoid potential pitfalls.

Greylock Glen Water System Features and Design Challenges: The Greylock Glen Water System Improvements Project is a project for the Town of Adams to install an elevated glass-fused-to-steel water storage tank for the purpose of providing fire suppression capacity for the existing and future development for Greylock Glen. The project also incorporates the installation of water main and water booster station improvements to the existing infrastructure. The main goal of the project is to provide support to Greylock Glen through water infrastructure and encourage development for the recreational activities served by the area. The project has been in the works for many years and has faced several different challenges, both technical and non-technical. This presentation serves to discuss these challenges, what was done to overcome them, and how the project aims to serve the Town of Adams in its future goals.

Aquastore Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tank Design and Construction: Our presentation is designed to provide attendees with an in-depth understanding of bolted, glass-fused-to-steel (GFS) water storage. It includes a brief history of GFS technology, tank applicaitons, elevated tank design and construction, and the factory-controlled manufacturing process. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of the benefits of utilizing GFS tank designs for a variety of water storage projects and how bolted, GFS storage tank technology, with the lowest life cycle costs and minimal maintenance requirements as compared with other tank designs, can positively impact municipalities and private customers for generations.

Class will be held In-Person. Class size is limited. To allow for adequate training time for each participant, we will be watching registrations closely and update this page if we need to begin a Wait List. Registration is on a first come first served basis. The Wait List will be created in the same order in which registrations are received.
