The Skeletank® provides an excellent plot by plot solution for new housing allowing incremental capital outlay easing your cash flow demands.As the system is modular, multiple Skeletank® units can be linked together to achieve the requirement for each individual plot.
This flexibility provides House Builders with a genuine alternative option to avoid the cash flow headache caused by providing costly infrastructure on a new development before a single house is built. Whether it be a large centralised stormwater storage tank or soakaway.
Sustainable
The Skeletank® is designed to replace sub-base aggregate and reduces the impact of quarrying. The sub-base replacement property can generate a significant saving in sub-base aggregate volumes over the progression of a complete development.
The Skeletank® system can reduce the environmental impact of your development as it is produced in the UK and manufactured from recycled material. It is re-usable and recyclable.
Safe
The Skeletank® only requires a very shallow excavation which in most cases is no more than 500mm deep meaning there are no deep excavations putting operatives as risk of fall or collapse.
Modular
When installed one Skeletank® can hold 300litres and due to its modular nature can be easily added to increasing the storage volume to satisfy any requirement.
Lightweight
The Skeletank® only weighs 35kg and can be easily carried and positioned by two people.
The Code for Sustainable Homes has been introduced by the Government to drive a step change in sustainable home building practice.
The average mains water consumption throughout the UK is currently around 150 litres/day. The code calls for a reduction to 80 litres/day by 2016.
The way to achieve these stringent limits in new developments is to incorporate rainwater harvesting. The Skeletank system is simple and cost effective that does not require specialist installation equipment or expertise. Builders and groundworkers can easily install the system on a plot by plot basis as a development progresses
Full technical details and support is offered for all Skeletank® installations.
Pipe connections are via 2no. 110mmØ stubs. These are compatible with standard push fit underground pipes and fittings.
There is an ever increasing requirement for householders and house builders to consider incorporating sustainable drainage systems (SUDS) in their existing and new build homes. The requirement may be a personal environmental choice, financial, planning condition or a building regulation requirement. Current guidance and forthcoming legislation will encourage a greater uptake for SUDS as attempts are made to minimise the occurrences of flooding and reduce water wastage.
The Skeletank® has been designed for use within a rainwater harvesting system.
Multiple units can be connected together to suit your usage requirements.

The Skeletank® is the first off the shelf product that is produced to provide an “off-the-shelf” soakaway.
It provides a highly efficient soakaway with the equivalent performances of a gravel soakaway three times its volume.

When it rains the Skeletank® allows the rainwater to be stored temporarily and to be released in a very slow controlled manner.
This system reduces the downstream flooding.
This philosophy is known as attenuation.

The Skeletank® Oil Drip Tray (ODT) uses one of the latest oil treatment Geotextiles together with a level control sump to trap and retain oils within its structure.
The Skeletank ODT is ideal for storing fuel/oil drums on or to provide protection during refuelling. Small plant can sit on top of the Skeletank® or it can be constructed into a refuelling area.
