QCS Tank Onsite Preparation:
Other tanks may require a strong and
compacted base. In areas of soft soil,
stronger soils must be brought in to
solve this problem. QCS tanks in both
roof configurations overcome this
problem in two ways. The profiled steel
wall absorbs any earth movement and
will not distort under load. This assures
that the wall panels will not stress,
buckle or tear due to subsidence. In
addition, because QCS tanks feature a
flexible reinforced polyethylene water storage liner, stored water can follow the contour of the ground,
compensation for movement and stress is moved to the
main tank structure. Our standard tank in both roof
configurations require no special site preparation or
costly foundations. For capacities up to 95,000
gallons, the only preparation requirement is a level
six to eight inch layer of clean inert sand. Please note
that seismic and high wind rated tanks may require a
reinforced concrete ring beam.
QCS Tanks Simple and Efficient Delivery and Assembly QCS water storage tanks’ modular structure makes their delivery, assembly and installation considerably easier than construction of a concrete or precast plastic tank. Once packaged, our lightweight tanks in both roof configurations can reduce to just 1% of their assembled size, so they fit neatly into a truck trailer or even a helicopter. Standard tanks up to 95,000 gallons can be installed in less than one day – Quality engineering provides efficient methods. QCS supervisors and fully trained installers are familiar with local conditions and terrain, which helps assure speedy
installation or certification. QCS will supply certified supervisors to train and certify your local teams of installers. QCS Provides Personal Service for Your Installation With installers worldwide, QCS is able to install your tank and certify your crews almost anywhere in the world. All installers are fully trained and experienced with building QCS tanks.

Installations
QCS water storage tanks modular structure makes their delivery, assembly and installation quick and
simple. We install most standard tanks up to 95,000 gallons in less than one day.
Measure the pad.
Level your pad.
Connect the two panels together at the seams by inserting the bolts
into the pre-drilled wall seam holes. When inserting the bolts you will
start from the inside out - the head of the bolt goes on the interior
side of the tank wall.
Secure the wall bolts on the exterior side of the tank by hand
tightening the nuts. One or two threads of the nut onto the
thread of the bolt is adequate for completion of this step.
Install the first diameter of
the tank.

Impact the side walls and anchor brackets.
Start installing the upper tier diameter.
Install 4 panels of the roof panels.
Lay down the textile base and start installing the bag
liner to the clamping bracket attached to the walls of
the tank.

Quality Control Steel Standard Accessories.
Your QCS water tank comes complete with an extensive range of standard accessories.
Removable Leaf and Debris Catchment Filter
A polyethylene filter minimizes any buildup of organic water at the
bottom of your tank. The filter fits into the roof of the tank and lifts
out simply for easy cleaning.
Access Hatch
A lockable hinged access hatch opens easily to allow access to the
interior of your QCS water tank.
G115 Galvanized Steel
G115 protection of steel has been around since the late 1800’s. It
is similar to the principle of protecting steel ships and oil rigs
with solid blocks of pure magnesium have bolted to the hull
below the water line. QCS tanks have a 20 years warranty.
Polyethylene Outlets and Shut Off Valves
Polyethylene fittings significantly reduce the risk of corrosion
and assure a long serviceable life for your tank. QCS water
tank is supplied with high density polyethylene (HDPE) fittings,
including a two inch outlet and ball valve. Larger fittings are
available via special order.
Overflow Pipe
Standard QCS water tanks are supplied with a six inch overflow flange
to connect to a drainage pipe to channel excess water away from your
tank’s sand pad.

Rainwater Harvesting
The practice of rainwater harvesting is a very old
technique that is becoming increasingly common in
the United States and around the world. Scarcity of
water resources, the inherent quality of rainwater
and an interest in reducing consumption of treated
water has increased the importance of rainwater
harvesting globally. Rainwater is a sustainable
source of water when groundwater or other sources
are unacceptable or unavailable.
Benefits of Rainwater Collection:
Rainwater is absolutely free source of water.
The end use of harvested water is located close to the sources; you have total control over your
water supply.
Rainwater provides a water sources when ground- water or other water is unacceptable or
unavailable, or it can augment limited water supplies.
The zero hardness of rainwater helps prevent scale on appliances, extending their use.
The use of rainwater eliminates the need for a water softener and the salts added during the
softening process.
Rainwater is sodium- free, important for persons on low-sodium diets.
Rainwater is better for landscaping plants and gardens because it is not chlorinated.
Rainwater harvesting helps utilities reduce the summer demand peak and delay expansion of
existing water treatment plans.
Rainwater harvesting reduces consumers utility bills.

Rainwater Collection Methods
“Dry” System
“Wet” System
“Dry” System
This method is a standard
rainwater harvesting system.
Essentially, the collection
pipe “dries” after each rain
event since it empties directly
into the top of the tank. QCS
rainwater collection tanks are
engineered with innovative
features turning a traditional
rainwater collection tank into
an engineered quality
product.
“Wet” System
This is the most popular method of rainwater collection because of its neat appearance. Water is channeled via PVC water pipe below ground and up into the tank through the filter basket. It is important that the tank entry point is a minimum 18 inches lower than the roof gutter and that the PVC pipe is sealed and watertight. Please note, the farther the tank is from the house, the greater the height differential required.
How much rain can I collect? The amount of rainfall that you can collect is governed by the following formula:
1” of rain x 1 sq. ft. = 0.623 gallons 1” of rain from 1,000.00 sq. ft. will provide you with 623 gallons of water.

Municipal, Industrial and Fire Water storage
Municipal and Industrial Water Storage One of the QCS water tank’s greatest strengths is its versatility. With a proven track record in oil and gas water storage applications, it is quickly establishing the same reliable reputation in the municipal, residential and industrial marketplace. Available in a range of sizes up to 6 million gallons with a large selection of height to diameter ratios, QCS water tanks are adaptable to most situations. Mining operations, for example, are usually located in areas that are difficult to access. QCS water tanks are the ideal choice for remote mining and other industrial applications. Their modular design simplifies and expedites both transportation and installation.
Fire Water Storage Individuals, housing developments and businesses are increasingly using QCS water tanks for private fire water storage. Not only does immediate access to firefighting water provide peace of mind, it can also lower insurance.
