Reliable On-site Water Storage

In the demanding and dynamic environment of iron ore mining, managing water resources efficiently is crucial for maintaining operational continuity and meeting diverse site needs. GetWet Solutions provides a flexible and reliable solution to a wide range of water storage and distribution challenges. From storing water for dust suppression on haul roads to supplying camps and villages, supporting construction and civil works, and even feeding concrete batch plants, these bladders serve a variety of essential functions.

For large-scale operations, water bladders can accommodate substantial storage requirements, with capacities ranging from 1000 liters to an industry-leading 2.5 million litres per bladder, with the flexibility to link multiple units for unlimited storage. Constructed from UV-protected, high-tech PVC fabric, these durable bladders are built to endure temperatures up to 70°C. Their portability offers additional advantages for remote sites, allowing them to be easily relocated as the mine’s water needs evolve.

What our clients say

“In late Dec 2023 we had an unplanned event that resulted in us needing 500,000ltr water storage capacity at very short notice. We called GetWet with low expectations that they could meet the deadline one week before Xmas. The team at GW were able to design, plan and mobilise to site within 3 days of the call. The team did an outstanding job and were even able to source a pump and all the required level monitoring systems including solar. Very professional, very efficient.”
- Robert, Mine Manager, Onslow
“In Dec 2022 the GW team installed 3 x 500,000ltr water bladder tanks on our mine site to support mining, civil and dust suppression activities. They exceeded our expectations, understood and respected our onsite polices, attended and participated in all of our safety and environmental practices and procedures. Great bunch of experienced guys that will always be welcome back.”
- Jerry, Superintendent, Goldfields
“In Feb 2023 the GW team installed 2 x 300,000ltr potable water bladder tanks on our mine site to support drinking water for our camp. This is the hottest time of the year here for us and managing the heat is always a critical step. In addition to The GW team completing the work safely and without incident the bladder system they installed has enabled us to maintain and even expand our water capacity at the camp. The GW team are safety and technically very competent.”
- David, Superintendent, Marble Bar
“In April 2024 we were expanding our area of mining and required additional water storage to support dust suppression operations. The guys from GW arrived onsite and had the 1,000,000ltrs water bladder installed and commissioned in less than 24hrs. Very slick operation with mine-spec equipment and very experienced team. Since then, we have installed several more bladders and happily recommend the team from GW.”
- David, Construction Manager, Pilbara

Frequently asked questions

The water remains clean and uncontaminated thanks to our advanced EXOM+ technology. This technology incorporates flexible tank designs made with technical fabrics treated with anti-UV and anti-fungal coatings. These treatments block harmful contaminants like algae, bacteria, and fungi from growing inside the tank. Additionally, the hydrophobic coating prevents debris such as leaves or insects from entering, ensuring your stored water stays pristine and safe for use.

Yes! Our water bladder tanks are made with anti-UV and anti-fungal coatings and a hydrophobic finish to ensure safe, sustainable, and long-lasting water storage. They are fully compliant with ISO standards, meeting strict quality and safety requirements. Their versatility allows them to serve industries focused on sustainability by providing efficient water storage solutions without unnecessary environmental impact.

Our water bladder tanks are built to withstand diverse environmental conditions, with thermal resistance ranging from -30 °C to +70 °C. This ensures they can perform effectively even in extreme temperatures or seasonal changes.

We offer a variety of water bladder tanks with capacities ranging from as little as 1,000ltrs to 2,500,000ltrs. Additionally, our tanks can be daisy-chained together to create unlimited storage capacities, allowing you to customise your system to meet any demand.

No excavation permits are required for installing water bladder tanks, which makes the process quick, easy, and hassle-free. Their design allows for quick setup without the need for complex or time-consuming groundwork.

Yes! One of the key benefits of our water bladder tanks is their flexibility. They can be folded when empty, making them easily movable and reusable. This makes them an adaptable solution for industries and construction projects that require temporary or scalable water storage solutions.
