Aquamate was originally established to repair leaking concrete water tanks. The concrete water tanks were failing due to a variety of reasons including, natural ground movement, poor workmanship or lack of correct materials available during installation. A solution to these problems was found in 1986 when Aquamate installed its first kit form polymer lined steel water tank.

The tank was easily transported to site in flat pack form, constructed in a day in most cases and remained impervious to any natural ground movement. Today, Aquamate has established itself as the leader in providing large volume water storage solutions by providing their proprietary range of polymer lined steel water tanks across Australia and around the world, from their state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Adelaide, and their offices in Texas, USA.
