FAQs

What size water tank do I need for my site?

The size of water tank you need depends on your site’s daily water usage and purpose, such as dust suppression, equipment wash-down or temporary supply. For general construction, tanks typically range from 1,000 litres to over 10,000 litres. Assess flow rate needs and duration to choose the most suitable capacity.

Do I need special approval to store fuel on-site?

Yes, in Australia, storing fuel on site often requires special approval, which varies by state and territory. Depending on the quantity and type of fuel, you may need to comply with state-based regulations, environmental guidelines and safety standards. This can include bunding, signage, spill containment and registration with local authorities or WorkSafe. Always check your state’s requirements.

Do fuel trailers require special training to operate?

Operating a fuel trailer doesn't always require a formal licence, but basic training is strongly recommended. Employers must ensure operators are trained and understand safe handling, refuelling procedures, spill prevention and fire safety. Some workplaces may also require compliance with site-specific protocols or regulations under WHS laws for transporting and dispensing hazardous materials.
