The Enduraplas TLV03000DG is a 3000-gallon vertical water storage tank molded in dark green polyethylene, built for serious bulk water holding on farms, ranches, rural homesteads, and remote sites where municipal supply is not an option. As a vertical storage tank it stands 125 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch footprint, so it holds a full 3,000 gallons upright in a compact area.
Will this tank work for your job?
This Enduraplas water storage tank is rated to a specific gravity of 1.1, meaning the polyethylene wall is built to carry contents up to 1.1 times the weight of water. For plain water at a specific gravity of 1.0 that gives you real headroom on the rating, and the same wall carries up to about 27,522 pounds of contents at its maximum rating versus roughly 25,020 pounds when full of water. Plan your pad and your plumbing around that loaded weight, not the empty shell: over 12 tons sitting on a 90 x 90 inch base means the foundation matters as much as the tank. At 125 inches tall, lid and fill access sit roughly 10.4 feet up, so account for ladder or platform access and overhead clearance if the tank goes under a roof. See the technical drawing on this page for the layout, and confirm inlet, outlet, and lid specifications at quote by calling 866-418-1777.
Set it on the right foundation
A vertical tank this size needs a flat, fully supported, level base across the entire footprint. A poured concrete pad is the standard answer for a vertical storage tank carrying this kind of load. Our Concrete Pad Sizing for Above-Ground Polyethylene Tanks guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for sizing that pad to the loaded weight above. If you are still deciding between capacities, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match gallons to your actual draw and refill cycle, and the 3000 Gallon Plastic Water Storage Tank buyer's guide takes a deeper look at this capacity.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this large is underbuilding the base or trusting an uneven surface. Polyethylene tanks rely on uniform support; a high spot, a soft spot, or a partially supported edge concentrates load and stresses the wall over time. Size and pour the pad for the full loaded weight before the tank ever arrives. If this tank will feed a fire-protection reservoir or an industrial water-reuse train, our Fire-Water Reservoir Tank Design and Industrial Water Reuse Tank Topology guides cover the design discipline those applications demand.
