Civil Works Done Right From the Ground Up
Taztanks Civil Contracting provides experienced civil contracting services for residential, rural and commercial projects across Tasmania.
With more than 25 years of experience in civil construction, our team has the equipment, knowledge and experience to complete your site works properly from the start.
Whether you need a correctly prepared base for a new water tank, plumbing trenches or broader excavation and civil works around your property, Taztanks can help.
Excavation & Earthworks
Professional excavation and earthworks to prepare, shape and clear your site for your project.
Plumbing Trenches
Excavation of trenches for water pipes and plumbing connections, ready for your tank or property works.
Site Access & Preparation
Preparing your site and access areas so machinery, materials and contractors can safely get where they need to be.
General Civil Works
Additional civil works to support your project, from general excavation and drainage through to site preparation and finishing.
Tank Pad Preparation
The right tank pad provides a stable, level foundation for your tank and helps ensure it can be installed correctly.
TazTanks can prepare your tank pad to suit the size, type and installation requirements of your new tank.
Our tank pad preparation can include:
Excavation and removal of unsuitable material
Ground preparation
Supply and placement of suitable base material
Compaction
Laser levelling
Final preparation ready for tank installation
For steel liner tanks in particular, the pad needs to be accurately level. Having TazTanks prepare the base means we know exactly what the tank requires before it arrives on site.
Trenching for Your Tank
If your tank installation requires pipework to or from the tank, we can also prepare the necessary trenches as part of your site preparation.
This may include trenching for:
Tank inlet and outlet pipework
Overflow drainage
Water supply lines
Connections between multiple tanks
Pipework running between the tank and your home, shed or other infrastructure
Rather than bringing another contractor in before or after the tank installation, the required groundwork can be coordinated as part of the job.
Site Preparation & Access
Sometimes preparing for a tank involves more than creating the pad itself.
Depending on your property, we can complete minor earthworks directly associated with getting the site ready for your tank, including clearing and preparing the tank location, creating suitable access and shaping the immediate area where required.
The focus is simple: doing the groundwork necessary to get your tank installed.
We aren't offering general earthworks or civil construction through this service. It's specifically there to make your TazTanks installation easier.
Why Have TazTanks Prepare Your Tank Pad?
When you organise the tank and the groundwork separately, it's up to you to make sure the site is prepared to the right specifications.
If the pad isn't level, isn't the correct size or hasn't been prepared appropriately, it can cause problems when it's time to install the tank.
By having TazTanks take care of the preparation, the people preparing your site are working to the requirements of the tank that's going on it.
We know the tank. We know the installation requirements. And we can prepare the ground accordingly.
We want buying and installing a tank to be as straightforward as possible.
That's why, where required, we can take care of the work immediately surrounding your tank installation.
You deal with one team and we coordinate the preparation required to get your tank installed correctly.
