Construction sites are complex. No matter the size of the project, from a home build to infrastructure development, they all have their complexities. Between equipment and personnel, there are countless variables planners and contractors have to deal with. But there’s one variable that can be easily eliminated: usable water. It’s a variable that can slow down a project, or bring it to a halt, when it’s in short supply—or isn’t available at all.
Projects need access to water for a laundry list of reasons: drinking, cleaning, equipment use, dust suppression, and so on. One reliable way to ensure water access is with the use of a water bladder tank. Ensuring you have a separate tank for drinking water is vital for keeping a worksite running smoothly. Here’s why they make sense and how they cut down on job site variables.
The Right Water for the Right Job
Using a water bladder tank provides the job site with water that is separated from every other source. You know it’s free from containments, chemicals, or anything else. It’s the water you filled it with and nothing more. When you need water for cleaning or mixing, contaminants can be an issue. Or you may need a potable water safe tank for drinking water.
Look for variable water bladder tanks that come in different sizes and volumes (from smaller 25-gallon units to 10,000-gallon plus). This helps you easily keep your water source exactly where you want it, even if it’s in the back of your truck. When you have better control of its placement, it's easier to keep it away from those who don’t need access. After all, construction sites can be a mix of contractors and crews and you don’t want any surprises—including missing water.
Find Water Bladder Tanks That Are Easy to Set Up and Break Down
It’s important that your water bladder tanks are simple to set up and simple to take down. Their flexible, pillow-like design means they can go anywhere with a flat, stable surface cleared of debris. You set it down, fill it (if it hasn’t been pre-filled), and it’s ready to go. Once it’s empty, it can be removed from the site quickly. Depending on the size of the water storage bladder, it can be folded and stored out of the way. This makes it a convenient addition to your equipment. This flexibility means you can take and use a water bladder virtually anywhere you need it. It gets a large volume of water to places conventional water tanks may not be able to access without extra effort.
Less Waiting Around
Downtime on a job site is generally expected, but it can easily become a nuisance if you don’t have access to the tools or resources your crew needs to complete a task. Having a water storage bladder on-site helps partially alleviate this pressure point. It comes back to having more control over job site variables, like water locations. If you run a large job site, you can keep potable water on the move with work crews. Smaller tanks in vehicles can easily move around the location. Keep one or two extra water storage bladders in rotation. As the water is used up, swapping them out is as simple as it gets, and work continues. Now, if you could have more control over other onsite variables, you’d be golden!
