Water Tank Site Preparation Whangarei & Northland
Level, Compacted Pads for Reliable, Long-Term Water Storage
We carry out full site preparation for water tank installations across rural and lifestyle properties.
Whether you're installing a tank for stock water, household use, or irrigation, the site must be properly cleared, shaped, and compacted to prevent movement or failure down the line. We build strong, level bases that support tanks of all sizes – and we can tie the work into your overall water system setup.
A tank is only as good as what it sits on. Uneven or poorly compacted ground leads to cracks, leaks, or toppled tanks. We clear the area, dig down to solid ground, backfill if needed, and compact a level pad using gravel or basecourse. If your site is sloped or tricky to access, we’ll shape a flat platform and create a track or lay access metal as required.
We also coordinate trenching, drainage, or fencing around the tank site to support your full water system layout.
We prepare tank sites to suit a range of setups:
Ground Clearing – Remove grass, scrub, or debris from the site
Cut & Fill Shaping – Level uneven sites or build up sloping ground
Basecourse or Gravel Supply – Laid and compacted to form a firm base
Pad Compaction – Ensures long-term stability for tanks of all sizes
Overflow & Drainage Setup – Shape runoff channels or install basic outflows
Access Track Preparation – Clear or metal short runs for tank delivery or service
Pipework Coordination – Work alongside plumbing to suit tank inlets/outlets
Multi-Tank Pads – Prepare linked or double tank sites as needed
We work with both poly and concrete tanks, matching our prep to the tank size and expected load.
