Things You May Not Know About Your Wooden Rooftop Tank
To some, they look like little clowns with conical hats. Some people find it hard to see beauty in these things so they choose to keep them hidden behind walls. Family pride is what two specific gentlemen derive from these tanks found across the New York City sky. The history of these two men’s businesses goes a long way back into almost a century and they cater to wooden tank installation and services.
These two companies have the whole of New York as clientele. The two gentlemen are charmed to find that New Yorkers still use their water tanks even if this has become an era of significant technological development. Water tanks are not limited to wood, some tanks like the ones on the Empire State Building are made of steel. Wood has several benefits over steel when used for water tanks such as greater insulation, being rustproof and easy reparability. In order to prove a point, even steel companies prefer wooden water tanks over steel ones. This water tanks article is proudly brought to you by rain water tank.
The resiliency of these wooden tanks is no question a tank from 1926 was replaced only recently. These water tanks have become an indispensable part of the New York horizon because of the great number of buildings in New York City which have them. You can’t have a skyline without the tanks.
These water tanks are a legal requirement for tall buildings so that in case a fire breaks out in any of these buildings, there will be easy access to water. 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. However, the availability of water on the top floors of these buildings requires these pumps to be constantly running. Energy efficiency is one of the bigger strengths of rooftop tanks because they do not need electrical pumps to be running nonstop to deliver water to and from the bottom of the building. Gravity allows water from the rooftop to flow down into the other floors of the building. A 20foot steel frame holds the average 12foot high tank which has a total capacity of 10000 gallons. Strong winds make the whole set up dangerous because the tanks are installed on top of buildings.
The parts of the water tank such as the redwood or cedar staves and the galvanized iron hoops are put together on 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 tank becomes watertight because two contradicting forces are present the hoops pressing in and the water pressing out. One of the tank companies built its headquarters in Brooklyn while the other company is in Philadelphia. There is a peculiar sense of beauty in these tanks and both company owners believe so. To explore the area of water tanks browse our site on rainwater tank.
Nowadays, it is common to hide the tanks in brick enclosures. The artists in Soho do not find these tanks deplorable, they actually understand the beauty in these things. The yuppie who just bought an apartment in the area cannot stand to see water within his range of vision.
