Concrete Tank Replacement: The Benefits of Plastic Trade Waste Tanks
When it comes to industrial waste management, businesses are increasingly looking for efficient and sustainable solutions. One of the most significant improvements is the concrete tank replacement with a plastic trade waste tank fabricated and supplied by Viking Plastics. Plastic tanks can be fabricated to sit within the existing above or below ground concrete tank. Alternatively, the concrete tank can be removed and a plastic tank installed. Either transition offers a myriad of benefits that enhance operational efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
Superior Durability and Longevity
Viking’s plastic trade waste tanks are engineered for maximum durability. Unlike concrete tanks, which are susceptible to cracking and degradation due to chemical exposure and environmental stress, plastic tanks are more flexible and resistant to cracking. Plastic doesn’t rust or corrode, unlike concrete, which can degrade over time due to exposure to moisture. The robustness of plastic tanks ensures a longer lifespan, reducing the need for replacements and costly repairs, making them an excellent choice for concrete tank replacement.
Lightweight and Simplified Installation
The lightweight nature of plastic trade waste tanks makes installation much more straightforward compared to concrete tanks. Concrete tanks are heavy and require extensive labor and equipment for transportation and setup. Plastic tanks, however, are easy to handle, reducing installation time and associated costs. This ease of installation results in minimal operational downtime, further underscoring the advantages of concrete tank replacement.
Customisation and Versatility

One of the standout benefits of choosing plastic trade waste tanks is their customisation potential. These tanks can be tailored to specific size, shape, and capacity requirements, offering greater versatility compared to the rigid design of concrete tanks. This adaptability ensures that businesses can optimise their waste management systems to meet unique operational needs. For existing square or rectangular tanks, Viking recommend Paneltim© plastic tanks. Paneltim© is a durable, modular building panel with an injection moulded ribbed cell structure. These panels are known for being lightweight, strong, and versatile. For an existing round concrete tank, Viking recommend a cylindrical plastic solid walled replacement tank custom designed to suit the application.
Environmental and Safety Benefits

Paneltim© plastic trade waste tanks are designed with environmental sustainability in mind. Made from recyclable and eco-friendly materials, they significantly reduce the environmental footprint. Additionally, the smooth surfaces of all Viking Plastic tanks prevent bacterial growth and make cleaning easier, promoting better hygiene and safety standards in industrial settings. This eco-friendly aspect is a crucial consideration in replacing a concrete tank.
Cost-Effectiveness
Plastic trade waste tanks provide long-term cost savings. Lower maintenance costs, reduced installation expenses, and extended durability contribute to a more economical solution over the tank’s lifecycle. This cost-effectiveness makes plastic tanks a wise choice for businesses considering concrete tank replacement.
In conclusion, the benefits of concrete tank replacement with Viking’s plastic trade waste tanks are clear. Enhanced durability, ease of installation, customisation options, environmental benefits, and long-term cost savings make Viking’s plastic tanks a superior investment for businesses looking to improve their waste management systems.
