RCC Tanks |
 |
| 1 |
Construction Time |
Takes a lot of time, 6 to 15 months.Citizens deprived of timely supply of drinking
water, causing hardships tothem & bad name to department. |
Most GSR Tanks up to 2 lakh liters canbe installed in One day. Others take up to a week, ESR's can
be erected in One months time. Citizens get faster water & are benefitted, Department gets credit
of faster execution of jobs. |
| 2 |
Income Due to Time |
Loss of Precious Revenue due to longer time taken for construction. |
Revenue from water supply can be immediately started. |
| 3 |
Saving Due to Time - 1 (Cost Escalation Clause) |
Cost escalation @ 10-12% has to be given to Construction Companies due to increase in
cost of raw material andlabor. |
Not Such Cost escalation is required to be paid as execution is very fast and all costs are
pre-determined and final. Huge Savings to Department. |
| 4 |
Saving Due to Time - 2 (Dept.'s Manpower & Infrastructure inputs) |
Cost escalation @ 10-12% has to be given to Construction Companies due to increase in
cost of raw material andlabor. |
No such Expenses are incurred as work gets completed fast and billing is full & final in one
stroke, Saves precious man-hours and Money for Department. |
| 5 |
Better Quality of Construction |
Several parameters required to be taken care of like, Quality & Grade of Cement
used, Ratio of Mixture, Quality of Reinforcement Steel, Casting & Curing methodology etc. etc.
|
Being factory manufactured and assembled at site, all tanks will be of the same best quality,
resulting in consistency and better quality of construction. |
| 6 |
Saving Due to Better Quality |
Lakhs of Rupees required to be spent on Maintenance, Waterproofing, Painting etc. due to
such Inferior Construction Quality problems. |
RHINO Tanks are totally maintenance free and have very minimal and negligible cost of maintenance.
Lakhs of Rupees saved! |
| 7 |
Convenience of Construction |
Difficult to construct in hilly areas and in deep rural areas. Work of Construction
hampered due to weather conditions etc. Water required for construction |
Very Easy to construct in any topographical location at any time. Work can be undertaken at any time
of the year. Water not required for construction. |
| 8 |
Savings with Convenience |
Higher costs of construction due to interior sites and hilly areas. Water availability
& costs make construction difficult and expensive |
No expenses involved due to such reasons, Saving money for the department. |
| 9 |
Savings Due to Controlled Costs |
Proposals/Tenders many times have to be accepted 20‐40% above DSR Rates due to
constraint of costs and uncertainty of expenses during execution. |
No such eventuality can take place. Department saves precious money. |
| 10 |
No Fear of Leakage or Seepage in case of RHINO Tanks |
RCC - GSR’s and Underground Tanks have been known to leak causing loss of Revenue
to the extent of 5-10% and fear of contamination of water as well |
No fear of leakages and Seepages ever, resulting in increased revenue to the Department, also total
safety of stored water from contamination. |
| 11 |
RHINO Tanks can be Easily Relocated |
No RCC Tank built can be ever relocated. In case there's a change in use of land or RCC
tank is built on land temporarily acquired, the investment is wasted if location needs to be changed.
|
The entire tank can be relocated easily with minimal cost and efforts. Saving tremendous hardships
for the department. |
| 12 |
Saving Due to Relocation |
The entire investment of the department is lost in case of relocation or change of land
use. |
Lakhs of Rupees can be saved and recovered by the department in case tanks have to be relocated at a
later date. |
| 13 |
Saving Even after Completion of Tank Life |
The department needs to spend money in case an abandoned/non‐functional tank has to be
demolished, very less or absolutely no money is recovered after demolition of the tank. |
Very minimal expense involved in removing the tank. Will generate precious revenue for Department
even after Completion of life as the entire tanks material is re-cyclable and carries good commercial
value. |
| 14 |
No Danger of ESR’s Falling Due to improper quality Of Construction |
Cases of ESR’s failing due to faulty construction quality and workmanship have
been observed. |
There cannot be such a case as the entire structure is factory manufactured under strict quality
supervision and all tanks will be consistent in quality |
| 15 |
Capacity Can be increased at a later Date resulting in Saving of Cost, Space & Time
|
Capacity of the RCC tanks cannot be increased once constructed. |
Capacity of the RHINO Tanks can be increased at a later date in case the demand for the water grows
in the region. Saves huge amount of cost, space and time to the Department. |
| 16 |
Additional Income Due to Immediate increase in capacity |
No income possible as capacity cannot be increased |
Department can gain additional revenue immediately as tank capacity can be easily increased with
minimal down time. |
| 17 |
Totally Earthquake & all Weather proof |
Even mild earthquakes and weather related risks can cause permanent damage and leakage
to the RCC tank |
Being modular in construction the design is totally earthquake proof and all weather proof, no
danger of supply being hampered due to any such eventuality. |
| 18 |
Savings in case of any eventuality |
Investment is lost in case of any such eventuality, causing huge loss to Department.
|
No problems can be caused to the tanks, Saving huge amount of time money and resources in case of
any natural calamity or eventuality. |
