Water Tanks: A Different Kind Of High
They look like giant cylinders with sharp pointy party hats. Brick walls are built around these tanks to remove them view. But two gentlemen see these wooden tanks differently it rouses in them a sense of pride and responsibility. The wooden tank industry began almost a century ago and the families of these two men have been at the forefront since then.
New York City comprises the entire market list of these two companies. These gentlemen find amusement in the fact that despite the fastchanging times and technological development, New York City still depends on their wooden tanks. Some water tank structures are made out of steel like the one on the Empire State Building. Wood has certain advantages over steel unlike steel, wood does not require repainting to prevent rust, it is easily repaired and it provides better insulation. If truth be told, even steel companies use wooden water tanks. This water tanks article is proudly brought to you by rain water tank.
These wooden water tanks are long lasting without a doubt. While wooden water tanks are used on some buildings in other large cities in New York, with its great density of tall apartment buildings, they are fixtures on the landscape. A skyline without these tanks is not whole.
A fire breakout in tall buildings would need to be put out immediately and the existence of these rooftop tanks makes this possible, thus this has become a legal requirement for tall buildings. Not all buildings in New York City utilize water tanks on their roofs some resorted to the use of electrical pumps to deliver water to the top. These buildings' highest levels are supplied with water through the electrical pump system that is kept running constantly. Energy conservation is a primary principle behind these rooftop tanks since they have no need for continuously running pumps to bring water back and forth floors. Each floor in the building is supplied with water through the power of gravity. Usually, a water tank measures 12 feet in height, has a total volume capacity of 10000 gallons and is fixed on a 20foot steel frame. Strong winds make the whole set up dangerous because the tanks are installed on top of buildings.
Setting up the tank on the rooftop requires the redwood or cedar staves and the galvanized iron hoops to be delivered to the rooftop. The cone shaped tops, made from plywood, keep rain, snow and contaminants out and trap air inside, which adds insulation in wintertime. The contradicting action of hoops pressed in and water pressed out produce a watertight tank. One company has its factory in Philadelphia, while its rival company is located in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. The company owners concur that their water tanks have an aesthetic quality no matter what most people say. To explore the area of water tanks browse our site on rainwater harvesting.
At the moment, it is a rare occasion to actually see a water tank in view, as most people prefer to hide them behind brick walls. There is beauty in each of these tanks and the artists from Soho know this for a fact. The yuppie from the Upper East Side who just bought an apartment does not consider a water tank to be part of his view.
