WATERTANKS
Acting as a certified distributor of Pioneer water tanks, Dascon International has been able to supply most rural industries on the African continent and the Middle-East
Background
Pioneer Water Tanks was established in 1988 with one goal
in mind which was to supply and install a water tank that provided exceptional
water quality at a realistic price level that also eliminated all of the
problems associated with conventional tanks.
Our growth, belief in our product, commitment to service and product quality,
has established Pioneer as a benchmark within the industry and we will continue
to service the market with our exceptional products.
It’s fair to say that the final result exceeded all our expectations and our
customers have the peace of mind knowing they are receiving and installing an
exceptional product.
Galaxy Tank
Our most recent
introduction in water storage facilities has been the GALAXY range of water
tanks. Over two years have been invested into research and development of this
product, utilising the latest technology and professional advice in ensuring
quality. Strength and durability were not compromised in the final product.
The Galaxy Tank has horizontal and vertical ribs of steel increasing its
stability to withstand the most severe winds, earth movements and earthquakes.
The horizontal panel profile is termed an 8-80 V LOCK, consisting of a ‘V’
Profile in the steel at 80mm centres. The ‘V’ is 25mm wide on the face of the
tank and 8mm deep. The vertical profile consists of a ‘U’ shaped girt that when
bolted to the tank panels vertical lap joint it forms an interlocking mechanism
for the tank wall. This is then capped with a ‘C’ Section to provide an extra
aesthetic finish for the tank.
This final outcome has totally surpassed our anticipation in providing a
strong, durable and cost effective water storage tank for our customers. This is
proven in the fact that all of our current sales consist of tanks from our
Galaxy range

Pioneer Water Tanks manufacture tanks from 6000 litres up
to 2.65 million litres.
Each tank will receive the necessary attention to detail to make sure that it
suits and services our client’s needs.
All the tanks have the necessary structural engineering to suit rural/domestic
and commercial uses, with specific engineering being carried out for specialised
requirements.
Depending on the clients’ needs our Galaxy water tanks can be designed to suit
earthquake zones, cyclonic regions, heavy industrial or highly specialised
environments. These requirements are not uncommon and can be easily accommodated
to allow the best possible solution for most situations.
The Galaxy water tank combines strength, the V8-80 profile, with an aesthetic
appeal, no protruding bolts due to the innovative, fully enclosed bolt cap.
