The 1075 Gallon Plastic Water Storage Tank from Norwesco is a vertical polyethylene tank with an unusually wide stance: 51 inches tall on an 87-inch diameter base. That geometry is the differentiator here. Where a taller column of the same volume puts its mass up high, this tank keeps just over a thousand gallons low to the ground, which gives you a low center of gravity when full and a stable footprint for wind and pad-bearing. It carries a 1.0 specific-gravity rating, which is exactly what water service calls for.
Will this tank work for your job?
This is a vertical water storage tank rated to 1075 gallons of water. At full capacity it holds 8,966 pounds of contents, all of it bearing on the 87-inch-diameter base, so size your foundation around the full-water weight and not the empty shell. If you are weighing this size against a taller or shorter unit for a fixed footprint or ceiling height, run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. The 1.0 SG rating is matched to water; this tank is built for water storage, not heavier liquids. If you need to store something heavier than water (specific gravity above 1.0), call 866-418-1777 and we will get you a correctly-rated tank rather than pushing this one past its rating.
What to get right before install
Two things decide whether this install goes smoothly. First, the pad: an 87-inch-diameter base loaded to nearly nine thousand pounds needs a flat, fully supporting foundation, and the distributed load over that base area is what your foundation has to carry. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for computing it correctly. Second, acceptance: once it is set, fill it with water and watch it before you put it into service. Our hydrostatic test methodology guide covers the fill discipline, pad-settlement monitoring, and hold-time math that catch a problem on day one instead of after it is buried in a project. Fitting sizes and locations are shown on the technical drawing on this page; confirm them against your plumbing before you order bulkhead fittings or gaskets.
Common applications
Buyers reach for a Norwesco vertical storage tank this size for rural fire-water reserves and reuse-water aggregation. If you are building a private fire-protection stack, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection for cold-climate service. For grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC-condensate collection, the water-reuse tank topology guide maps out quality-banded storage trains.
Freight
This tank ships LTL freight from the Norwesco plant in Fairfield, Texas, with freight quoted live to your ZIP. The listed price is for the tank and does not include freight. Get a number before you order with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will walk you through sizing, the pad spec, and the freight quote to your location.
