The Norwesco 2450 gallon dark green vertical water storage tank is a polyethylene bulk-water vessel built for above-ground storage on a prepared pad, and it ships LTL from the Norwesco plant in Fairfield, TX. It measures 96 inches wide on a 96-by-96-inch footprint and stands 86 inches tall, so this is a squat, wide tank, wider than it is tall, holding 2,450 gallons of water in a single dark green body that screens out light to discourage algae growth. With a 1.0 specific gravity rating, this Norwesco vertical storage tank is engineered for water and water-density liquids, making it a fit for irrigation supply, rainwater collection, and fire-water reserve duty.
Does it work for your site?
Sizing comes down to weight and footprint. Filled to its rated 2,450 gallons, the contents alone weigh 20,433 pounds, about 10.2 tons, and that load sits on a 96.0 x 96.0 inch base. The pad under this tank has to carry the full 20,433 pounds of water plus the tank's own weight without settling or tilting, so the surface prep matters as much as the tank itself. Because the footprint is a full 8 feet wide and the tank is 86 inches tall, the 96-inch width is the binding constraint for any gate, drive, or doorway the tank has to pass on the way in, so measure the clearance against the width, not just the height. Walk through the load math with our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a location, and review the dimensional callouts on the technical drawing on this page to confirm the footprint and height clear your space. For the concrete work, our pad-sizing guide lays out the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground polyethylene tanks at this weight.
Fitting your application
The 1.0 specific gravity rating is the line to watch. This tank is sized for water at standard density, so keep it in water service. If your plan ever shifts toward a heavier liquid, a 1.0-rated tank is the wrong starting point, and you should step up to a higher-SG-rated vertical tank from the chemical and industrial line rather than push this one past its rating. Fitting and bulkhead configuration, along with gasket material, is confirmed at the time of order, since those details vary by build, so call 866-418-1777 to lock in the outlet arrangement you need. For rural fire-protection storage, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection for a tank this size. If you are aggregating grey water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, the water-reuse topology guide shows how a vertical storage tank like this fits into a quality-banded storage train.
Commissioning the tank
Before you put a new install into full service, fill it with water in a controlled hold and watch the pad and fittings. Our hydrostatic test methodology walks through the water-fill discipline, pad-settlement monitoring, fitting leak detection, and hold-time math that catch problems while they are still cheap to fix.
Freight and ordering
This tank ships LTL freight from the Norwesco plant in Fairfield, TX, with the cost quoted live to your ZIP code rather than folded into the list price, so Texas and South-Central buyers sit on a short lane to the plant. Run your delivery address through our Freight Cost Estimator for a real number, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it and walk you through delivery on a tank of this size. Listed before freight, this 2450 gallon Norwesco vertical water tank is ready to ship from Texas.
