A prestigious London riverside office block has had installed Keraflo’s Tanktronic to help ensure safe and healthy water.

The new building is situated on London’s Victoria Embankment overlooking the Thames has installed the very latest in tank technology to manage its provision of potable (drinking) water.

The Carmelite Riverside is the headquarters of international publisher Hachette and at full occupancy will be able to accommodate more than 1,200 members of staff. In common with most large commercial buildings, it is provided with cold water from the rising main via a basement tank, in this case a 24,000-litre capacity reservoir which guarantees uninterrupted supply to the building whatever the demands placed on it by its many occupants.

Sub-contractor Imtech Group looked to Keraflo for a system that would not only guarantee the safety of the water but also a flexible supply within the shared building.

Tanktronic is an electronic tank management system which monitors water levels and temperature as well as tank filling. It can be integrated into a building management system to alert the management team to any changes in the stored water. It also has a calendar (holiday) setting so that the building management team can vary tank capacity to match demand.

Its smart functionality includes a repeater panel which enables control from up to 100m away, whereby tanks housed in basements or roofs can be controlled from the comfort of the management office. A battery module provides up to two days of normal operation in the event of a power failure.

Tanktronic is already installed in many prominent buildings, including The O2 Arena in London.
