If you are not keen on building a separate tank stand for your house where you mount your plastic tanks on top of the stand for the supply of water, pause to consider these two pictures. The first picture is a scenario where the tank mounted on top of a house goes wrong, soaking the walls and weakening the entire structural integrity of the building. Which would you prefer?
I still believe architects should figure a way of mounting water tanks on every building to ensure the easy use of modern facilities as the water system toilets and shower.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, there will be no space in the compound to build a steel water tower in the second picture, talk-less of the financial costs involved in the fabrication to steel to build such towers.Those that desire to build houses and park their cars inside their compound will tell you it is a waste of parking space to build such steel towers.
Since water coming from the public water works is now a pipe dream in Nigeria, a system where by every house is equipped with at least one plastic water tank connected to a borehole or a well to pump water continuously into it must be part and parcel of the design of modern buildings in Nigeria.
It is possible to mount tank on a building but u have to add water proof calcium cement with your cement during plastering
