What is galvanized sheet? Galvanized sheet is a steel plate with a layer of zinc plated on the surface, used to prevent rust, right? The use of galvanized sheet as a reservoir in agricultural irrigation should be because it is more durable, corrosion resistant, and more suitable for long-term use in humid environments than ordinary steel plates.
First, the advantages of galvanized plate water tank
Strong corrosion resistance
The galvanized layer on the surface of galvanized steel plate can effectively prevent rust and extend the service life (usually 10-20 years),
which is suitable for long-term exposure to humid environments.
Light and strong
Compared with the concrete pool, the galvanized sheet is light in weight, easy to transport, and has higher structural strength,
which can withstand greater water pressure.
Quick installation
Modular design, simple on-site assembly, short construction period, suitable for the agricultural scene in urgent need of water.
Low maintenance cost
Regular inspection of rust and timely repair can be done without complex maintenance.
Design and construction points
Capacity selection
Capacity is determined based on irrigated area, crop water requirements and local rainfall (common specifications: 10 to 200 tons).
Structural design
Foundation treatment: It is necessary to level the ground and lay concrete or gravel foundation to prevent settlement and deformation.
Pool structure: The galvanized sheet is bolted or welded into a cylindrical or square shape, and the joints should be sealed
(such as waterproof glue and rubber pad).
Anti-leakage measures: the inner layer can be equipped with a waterproof coating (such as food grade epoxy resin) or a liner (HDPE film).
Supporting facilities
Water intake system: Connect the rainwater collection pipe or pump, and configure a filter device to prevent impurities from entering.
Water outlet system: Install valves and irrigation pipes. It is recommended to reserve a sewage outlet at the bottom for easy cleaning.
Safety protection: cover to prevent evaporation, prevent foreign bodies from falling into, and add fences to prevent children or animals
from approaching if necessary.
Three, installation steps
Site preparation: Clean the ground, tamp the foundation, and pour the concrete floor (optional).
Assemble pool body: splice galvanized sheet according to drawing, tighten bolt and seal joint.
Waterproof treatment: coating the inner wall with anti-rust paint or laying waterproof lining.
Installation accessories: Connect the inlet and outlet water pipe, overflow pipe, level meter, etc.
Maintenance and precautions Periodic inspection
Check whether the galvanized layer falls off and rusts every year, and repaint or replace local plates in time.
Clean sludge and algae from the bottom of the pool to keep the water clean (especially for drip irrigation).
Antifreezing measures
In cold areas, water storage should be emptied in winter to prevent frost heave from damaging the pool.
Water quality safety
If used for drinking water or livestock, ensure that the inner wall coating meets health standards to avoid excessive zinc ions.
Wind reinforcement
When installed in the open air, the pool body should be fixed by anchor bolts to prevent strong winds from toppling over.
Comparison with other materials
Material type | advantage | shortcoming |
Galvanized plate | Durable, fast installation, moderate cost | Local corrosion may occur after long-term use |
concrete | Long life and good stability | Long construction period, high cost, immovable |
plastic | Lightweight, rust-proof, low price | Easy aging, weak pressure resistance |
Earth pond | Very low cost | Easy to leak, frequent maintenance, land occupation |
Application scenarios
Small farms/orchards: Quickly set up to meet seasonal irrigation needs.
Rainwater collection system: Integrated with roof water collection facilities to achieve water recycling.
Dry areas: as an emergency water reserve to relieve water stress.
