CHC Ltd. The National University of Edinburgh

The National University of Edinburgh was founded in 1582 and is the sixth oldest university in England. The University comprises of 5 main campuses in the city including the Neuroscience department which is one of the largest in Europe.

Our team were asked to attend the site of the Universities Neuroscience building to review the current water storage supply for the building. Concrete water storage tanks were located on the roof of the building & were proving to be an issue with ongoing leaks.

Nicholson’s team were asked to conduct a site visit & suggest an alternative method of storing & supplying water to the Neuroscience building.

Our Clients Water Storage Requirements

The existing tank was made of concrete and positioned on the roof of the building. The tanks water supply was supplied direct from the mains. After several failures to repair the leaking concrete tank our client was looking for an alternative water storage system which was fully compliant for potable & non-potable water to be installed.

GRP Water Storage Tank Solution

Our external sales team met on site and recommended installing a ground floor tank with booster set which was both easier to access and service. We assessed an old storage room which in terms of space & location would comfortably fit all components required, access to the mains supply was also available which the client could connect the tank to. The booster set pumps the water to the top floor and then gravity feeds the supply throughout the building.

Nicholson Plastics supplied a 2x1x1.5m externally flanged sectional GRP tank with a packaged variable speed booster set.

Our mission: To help you find the most cost-effective solution for your water storage requirements.
