Featured case study
ExxonMobil PNG
- Industries Mining and Exploration, Industrial, Oil and Gas
Exxon Mobil PNG needed to pro-actively contain and remedy any spills along a remote pipeline between Port Moresby and Hides. That meant finding a way to transport containment booms, skimmer systems, dispersant systems and incinerators through 700km of dense jungle.

FAQs
What is a self-raising tank?
A self-raising tank is one that assumes its shape as it fills with liquid. Tanks are made without frames, relying on internal pressure to become self-supporting, making them ideal for temporary storage and rapid deployment across spill response and water storage applications.
What liquids can be stored in self-raising tanks?
Self-raising tanks are designed to store water, wastewater, rainwater and other compatible liquids. Heavy-duty variants support industrial liquids and the means of storing recovered oil during spill events.
Are self-raising tanks suitable for firefighting?
Yes. Self-raising tanks are commonly used for firefighting and bushfires where portable water is required. Their rapid deployment, large litre capacity options and compatibility with pumps make them effective for emergency water supply and dust suppression.
How durable are self-raising tanks?
Self-raising tanks are manufactured from PVC and other high-tensile-strength polymers. Reinforced seams, weld quality and heavy-duty fabrics allow tanks to withstand site handling, UV exposure and repeated deployment when used and stored correctly.
Can self-raising tanks reduce water costs?
Using tanks for rainwater collection, portable water and temporary storage can help reduce reliance on the mains supply and lower water bills. They are often used for storing water during works, shutdowns, and seasonal demand changes.
