I will choose independent tank stanchion if I have the money. The complications that might arise if a roof mounted tank develops a problem is not good for the health of the building.

Currently on the parapet. ....

Already working on door frames while getting ready for fencing......

We are working on fencing the back of this compound and providing a new drainage to channel water in the front of this house......

Working to complete the reinforcement of the kitchen deck, and the parapet.

can we have a view of the sketch plan ... ? Is it meant for office or residential?

More work going on. ....

Oga Spyder,
Owing to many modern high rise flats requesting a functional running water for toilets etc in each flat. Would it be too much load on the building to hang one 500 gallons water tank on that Kitchen ares that is decked.
So that the whole building can at least use water from it daily for basic living.


I say this as opposed to having a separate water tank structure as in the second picture because many people believe that the tanks on the building itself may eventually weaken the structure and make it to collapse. Please advise on this important issue. Thanks Sir.

We considered the stand alone tank stand but at the end of the day we are doing the tank stand on the top of the kitchen. Let me show you the pictures. .......

We are going to hang a tank stand on top of this decked kitchen.

Welldone Sir,

What is the size of the kitchen and number of tanks to be hang their and their capacities?

Yes, if the compound has a well or borehole, just one 500 gallons GeePee tank to supply water to toilets and kitchen sinks will be appropriate. It will be connected to a pumping machine anyway, so no need to hang too many tanks because no water tanker can fill a tank on 4 storeys roof. Even if you don't connect to the showers so that at least a full tank can last 24 hours to all occupants of the building. That way, they can pump water every night whenever there is light. You can also put a turn off switch on the water to the showers so that in the future if the occupants decide to connect the shower, it's merely about going up there to turn on the switch.

I know you have showed buildings where unsightly situations occurred because water overflowed from the tank and accumulated on the decking. I think if you have a plumber connect a pipe over the overflow hole in the GeePee tank so that the water safely overflow through the pipe away from the building and not pour on the decking when the tank is full will prevent that situation. Thanks for response and pictures.
