Hospital Water Tank Replacement Chesterfield
Water Tank Replacement at a Major Hospital in the Midlands
Project Brief
A prominent hospital in Chesterfield faced significant challenges with its ageing water storage infrastructure. Two large galvanised steel sectional tanks, responsible for supplying hot and cold water throughout the facility, had deteriorated over time. Extensive corrosion posed serious health and safety risks, particularly concerning water quality and system reliability. Given the hospital's continuous operation and the critical nature of its services, a swift and compliant replacement was imperative to ensure uninterrupted patient care.
Working within a hospital setting would mean stringent anti-cross contamination measures and adherence to strict hygiene protocols. The 24/7 nature of the facility would also be pose a challenge for the project, meaning a solution would be needed that would not disrupt water supply during the replacement process.
Solution
To address these challenges, our team implemented a comprehensive plan:
-
Phased Replacement: The two ageing tanks were replaced consecutively, ensuring that the hospital maintained full operational capacity throughout the project.
-
Base Upgrade: New steel supports were installed to create a level and stable base for the new tanks, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
-
Installation of GRP Sectional Tanks: Modern, WRAS-approved Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) sectional tanks were assembled and commissioned seamlessly into the existing system.
-
Upgraded Components: New float valves were installed to optimise water level control, and all tank panels were pre-insulated to meet thermal protection requirements, ensuring compliance with current regulations.
-
Turnkey Delivery: All works were delivered by our in-house engineering team, providing the client with clear communication and accountability throughout the project.
Key Benefits Delivered
-
Uninterrupted Water Supply: The hospital continued its operations without any water supply disruptions during the entire replacement process.
-
Enhanced Safety and Compliance: The new tanks meet all current potable water storage regulations, significantly reducing health and safety risks.
-
Improved Maintenance Access: The addition of access hatches and ladders facilitates easier and safer future maintenance.
-
Long-Term Reliability: The installed GRP sectional tanks offer a durable solution with an expected lifespan exceeding 20 years.

CLIENT FEEDBACK
"Titan recently replaced two old galvanised tanks in our roof space plantroom. The guys sent to site were very professional and carried out a first class removal and installation. Working within a Hospital environment, they kept the work area extremely clean and tidy. Overall extremely happy with the job from start to finish, highly recommended."
