Fleurhof Mall — Integrated Water Storage System
A combined sectional and cylindrical steel tank installation supplied, delivered and installed for ESL Plumbing at the Fleurhof Mall commercial development.
Integrated water storage for a major commercial development
Videx Tanks supplied, delivered and installed a comprehensive water storage solution for the Fleurhof Mall development in Soweto, Johannesburg. The installation combines a large powder-coated sectional steel tank with an internal divisional wall and two powder-coated cylindrical steel tanks.
Together, these tanks form an integrated storage system designed to support the development's operational water requirements and improve resilience during interruptions to the municipal water supply. By combining different tank configurations within one installation, the solution was tailored to suit the available site space, required storage capacity and operational needs of the development.

The Project Requirement
A commercial development such as Fleurhof Mall depends on a reliable water supply for tenant operations, ablution facilities, cleaning, maintenance and general building services. The project required a substantial on-site water storage system that could:
- Provide dependable reserve water capacity
- Support continued commercial operations during supply interruptions
- Make effective use of the available installation area
- Allow practical access for inspection and maintenance
- Integrate with the development's pipework and water-management infrastructure
- Deliver a robust, long-term solution for a demanding commercial environment
The Videx Tanks Solution
Videx Tanks delivered a combined installation using both sectional and cylindrical tank formats. The compartmentalised sectional-tank arrangement means one compartment can potentially be isolated for inspection, cleaning or maintenance while the other remains available, subject to the final pipework configuration. The cylindrical tanks expand overall storage and suit the site layout, and their black powder-coated finish and red external pipework create a coordinated industrial appearance across the project.
- One powder-coated sectional steel water tank with an internal divisional wall
- Two powder-coated cylindrical steel water tanks
- Access ladders, safety cages and roof-access arrangements
- Inlet, outlet, overflow and drainage connections
- Stilling chambers and specified internal tank components
- Full delivery, offloading and on-site installation
Sectional Tank Connections
- 1 × Ø100 inlet (per compartment)
- 1 × Ø100 domestic outlet (per compartment)
- 1 × Ø150 overflow (per compartment)

Project Highlights
Project Outcome
The Fleurhof Mall installation provides the development with a substantial and robust on-site water storage system: improved water-security resilience, multiple storage vessels within one coordinated system, and a sectional tank with two independently divided compartments — all tailored to the physical constraints of the site.
By combining a high-capacity sectional tank, an internal divisional wall and two cylindrical tanks, Videx delivered a practical commercial storage solution engineered for long-term performance and designed around the requirements of the development.
