Sunnik water storage tank in the Philippines
Water storage tanks come in a range of materials including concrete, metal, and plastic – each with advantages and drawbacks. Overall, industry experts consider stainless steel tanks to be the optimal choice due to their durability, corrosion resistance and environmental friendliness.
Conventional carbon steels corrode when exposed to environmental factors such as high or low pH, moisture, and the presence of chemicals such as chlorides. However, stainless steel, alloyed with other metals like chromium, retains its integrity in extreme temperatures and severe weather conditions and resists corrosion by water and contaminants.
Sunnik's best-in-class water containment systems can be found in high-tech skyscrapers like the Burj Khalifa, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Sunnik in the Fray
Steelworks Engineering has been manufacturing and distributing Sunnik water tanks since 1984. Today, the company is a global leader in water containment worldwide, with its tanks in use in over 42 countries.
Winners of the 2013 Malaysian Construction Industry Excellence Award, Sunnik has the honour of partnering to supply water storage infrastructure for some of the world’s most prestigious developments, including Burj Khalifa, the Petronas Twin Towers, Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok International Airport, and Kuala Lumpur International Airport. With accreditation from a growing number of regulatory organisations, Steelworks aims to meet the highest international quality standards.

Sustainability to the Fore
Addressing environmental impact is also a top priority. The company continually seeks ways to advance the future of water storage while protecting natural resources and maximising the sustainability of its processes and products.
The environmental impact of extracting and producing materials that go into making storage tanks is a critical factor.
Steel is the world’s most recycled material – new stainless steel is 60-70% recycled with no loss of quality, and it is energy-efficient to produce, minimising its carbon footprint.
Stainless steel is also a safe metal alloy – it doesn’t degrade and leach toxins into the environment.

Sophisticated Technology
It uses cutting-edge techniques to design, develop, and construct water storage solutions. These methods include the application of robotic welding, fibre-laser cutting, hydraulic hot-pressed compression from 600 to 1500 metric tons, sheet moulding compound (SMC), and other automated processes that enhance quality and reduce product costs.
Seeking out and adopting the newest production technologies is just part of what Steelworks Engineering does to ensure the quality of every water storage tank panel is unsurpassed.
While tanks made from other materials may cost less initially, the longer lifespan and reduced maintenance and repair costs of stainless steel tanks mean reduced total cost of ownership. And the steel’s strength means the gauge of tank walls can be thinner, which would incur lower costs for transportation and construction.
As stainless steel does not require internal or external protective coatings, there is no scratching during installation and no issues from ageing or degrading coatings or peeling exterior paint.
When it comes to water containment technology, Steelworks Engineering is constantly raising the bar. Where there is quality water for the people, there is Sunnik.
