Potable Water Tanks Built to Withstand Time and Pressure
At 3B Concrete, Inc., we specialize in the construction of leak-proof, structurally sound potable water tanks engineered to meet rigorous public safety and NSF 61 compliance standards. These are not ordinary concrete structures — they serve as the critical backbone of municipal drinking water systems. Our team has decades of experience designing and building tanks that not only meet environmental health requirements but are also optimized for long-term reliability and minimal maintenance. We understand how crucial it is to ensure every detail is managed precisely — from mix design to containment sealing.
Whether buried underground or constructed as above-ground concrete tanks, potable water reservoirs must meet strict leak resistance, pressure tolerance, and chemical containment benchmarks. With over 34 years in the field, our crews know how to plan around lead times for specialized materials, coordinate with engineers and inspectors, and deliver infrastructure that holds up to Arizona’s climate and regulatory demands. With every pour, we apply our 3B Shield™ Safety Program to ensure the worksite is protected and the final product exceeds expectations.
Technical Mastery Meets Public Trust
Potable water tanks require highly engineered formwork and leak-proof construction standards, particularly when built underground. We utilize NSF 61-approved materials, specialty liners, and tested jointing systems to prevent infiltration or contamination. Our experience includes chemical containment integration, waterstop detailing, and structural reinforcement strategies for long-span and deep-buried reservoirs. We plan sequencing and staging around disinfection protocols, hydrostatic testing, and environmental controls to ensure that our builds pass both pressure testing and inspection the first time.
Our potable water tank construction services support municipalities, tribal infrastructure teams, and public works contractors seeking a trusted concrete partner. We manage everything from structural excavation to final containment testing. Whether it’s a single-tank upgrade or part of a full facility expansion, we bring the tools, team, and timeline accountability to get it done safely and correctly. We’ve built for clients who value quality over shortcuts and who need a partner that understands what’s at stake when water purity is on the line.
Built Safe. Built for Service.
Safety is foundational to everything we do at 3B Concrete, Inc. Our 3B Shield™ Safety Program ensures jobsite protection, team awareness, and operational discipline from start to finish. When working on potable water systems, there is no margin for error — lives depend on what we build. We’ve integrated site-specific safety plans, team training, and compliance-driven protocols into every tank we construct. It’s not just about OSHA — it’s about doing right by the communities who will use the water every day.
