Solutions for Potable Water Applications - Ensuring Quality and Safety

Potable water is a highly valuable resource, and as such, the production of water tanks must meet stringent quality requirements. All materials used in this construction undergo external monitoring and must hold the necessary certification.

The MAX FRANK system solution meets the requirements for drinking water supply systems:

• Fibre-reinforced concrete spacers are certified as suitable components for contact with drinking water and effectively prevent water seepage to the reinforcement, while also being tested for resistance to microorganism growth, please see test certificate.
  

• Fibre-reinforced concrete wall thicknesses are certified for use with drinking water and ensure adequate concrete cover for the reinforcement, even in interior areas, providing additional protection against weathering, please see test certificate.

• Fibre-reinforced concrete sealing cones & plugs bond with tie-holes using TW-tested and approved Repoxal adhesive, making them suitable for potable water applications. Flush installation is recommended to achieve a smooth surface finish.

• For blowhole-free surfaces, Zemdrain^® controlled permeability formliner is applied to the formwork before concreting, significantly reducing the formation of micro-organisms and creating a smooth concrete surface, as proven by independent authorities, please see test certificate.
