Construction water tanker services

Construction sites need both potable and non-potable water at every stage of a project, from groundworks and testing through to welfare. Universal Tankers delivers both in bulk, with flexible one-off, scheduled and emergency deliveries.

Non-potable water deliveries

Non-potable water is an economical choice for operational tasks on site, including:

  • Concrete and materials mixing: a reliable supply for batching, mixing and curing.
  • Dust suppression: keeping airborne dust under control to maintain safe air quality and visibility around the site.
  • Hydrostatic pressure testing: filling pipework, pipelines and pressure vessels for testing and flushing.
  • Borehole drilling support: a steady water supply to keep drilling operations running.
  • Ballast water: stabilising temporary structures and supporting excavations.
  • Water-filled barriers: filling barriers for traffic management and site perimeters.
  • Cleaning: washing down machinery, vehicles and equipment.

Potable water deliveries

Providing safe drinking water is a legal requirement on construction sites. We deliver potable water for:

  • Welfare facilities: keeping drinking water, handwashing and washroom facilities supplied for your workforce.
  • Water storage tanks: for larger teams or longer projects, we can supply storage tanks filled with potable water to ensure a consistent supply across the site. Our team can also help set up the tanks and maintain hygiene standards.
  • Welfare unit servicing: refilling fresh water and emptying waste tanks on welfare units, so facilities stay compliant and in use.

Delivered in bulk by our modern tanker fleet, our potable and non-potable water is a cost-effective way to meet your site’s operational needs without relying on a mains connection, as part of our wider construction water and wastewater services.
