Fire Heidelberg cylindrical fire protection water tanks](/assets/vox-fire-heidelberg-5-DLQLfRvi.jpg) [All case studies](/case-studies) Case Study · Fire Protection # VOX Fire Heidelberg Fire Protection Water Storage Project ## ASIB-Compliant Fire Protection Water Storage for Commercial Infrastructure Videx Tanks supplied, delivered and installed a high-capacity fire protection water storage solution for Vox Fire at a new commercial development in Heidelberg, Gauteng. The project required reliable ASIB-compliant water storage infrastructure capable of supporting fire protection systems with backup water, while ensuring long-term durability and low maintenance. Videx installed two cylindrical Aluzinc steel water storage tanks with a combined storage capacity of more than 1 million litres, purpose-built for demanding fire protection applications. ### Project Overview Client Vox Fire Location Heidelberg, Gauteng Application Fire Protection Water Storage Tank Type Cylindrical Steel Water Tanks Capacity 2 × 504 kL Tanks Total Storage Capacity 1008 kL Project Scope Supply, Delivery & Installation ![Close-up view of a Videx cylindrical steel fire protection tank](/assets/vox-fire-heidelberg-1-BQ1N-MKM.jpg)![Two VOX Fire Heidelberg fire protection water tanks on site](/assets/vox-fire-heidelberg-3-CaJoPJ6Y.jpg) ### The Challenge Vox Fire required a high-capacity fire protection water storage solution for a new commercial development in Heidelberg. The system needed to provide dependable dedicated reserve capacity for fire protection infrastructure while also delivering backup water resilience during long-term outages. - High-capacity dedicated fire protection water storage - Reliable ASIB-compliant infrastructure - Support for fire protection systems with backup water - Long-term durability in a commercial setting - Low maintenance requirements ### Videx Solution Videx supplied and installed two cylindrical Aluzinc steel water storage tanks with a combined storage capacity exceeding 1 million litres. The system was specifically designed for fire protection applications and included: - ASIB application design - Aluzinc steel construction - Corrosion-resistant tank system - Integrated pipework connections - Access ladders and platforms - Safe access around manholes - Vortex inhibitor system The modular cylindrical design allowed for efficient on-site installation while maintaining high structural integrity, corrosion resistance and long service life. ![Completed VOX Fire Heidelberg cylindrical steel tank installation](/assets/vox-fire-heidelberg-6-DslZnnOA.jpg)![Close-up of tank ladder and steel panel connections](/assets/vox-fire-heidelberg-2-CYW8Db1Z.jpg) ### Outcome The installation now provides reliable dedicated fire protection water storage capacity for the development, supporting critical fire safety infrastructure and ensuring long-term operational reliability. It also adds valuable backup water capacity for prolonged water outages, demonstrating Videx Tanks' ability to deliver large-scale commercial water storage solutions for fire protection applications across South Africa. ### Project Features - 2 × Cylindrical Steel Tanks - Over 1 Million Litres Combined Capacity - ASIB Fire Protection Application - Aluzinc Corrosion-Resistant Construction - Engineered Steel Tank Design - Commercial Fire Protection Infrastructure ![VOX Fire Heidelberg tank installation in progress](/assets/vox-fire-heidelberg-4-BCPxUKus.jpg)![Completed pair of VOX Fire Heidelberg fire protection tanks](/assets/vox-fire-heidelberg-5-DLQLfRvi.jpg) ### Explore more from Videx [Fire protection tanks South Africa](/solutions/fire-protection-tanks)[ASIB water storage tanks](/solutions/fire-protection-tanks)[Cylindrical steel tanks](/videx-cylindrical-tanks)[Commercial fire protection water tanks](/industries/commercial)[Industrial water storage solutions](/industrial-water-storage-solutions)[Aluzinc water tanks](/videx-cylindrical-tanks)[Fire suppression water storage](/solutions/fire-protection-tanks)[More case studies](/case-studies) ### Need a fire protection water storage solution?
