Introduction. In building sites, water is used for different purposes such as
cleaning the used tools, meeting personal needs, making mortar etc. In cases of
the building sites are far from the city center and/or water interruption is
frequently experienced, water tank is used in the building sites to provide
water. Aim of the study. To define
the properties of the water tank used in the building sites in Turkey and to
evaluate water tank usage characteristics of the users. Material and methods. We prepared 23-question survey and performed
a survey study via internet with the civil engineers who are members of the
internet-based forum site of the graduated from Department of Civil Engineering
at Karadeniz Technical University and are still working as managers in building
sites. Results. Water in the tanks
used in building sites is generally city water. Water in the tank is mostly
used daily for personal needs, cleaning and fabrication. Most of the existing
water tanks are made of polyethylene. Water tanks were cleaned most recently by
an average of 5.4±4.5 month (min.: 1 month- max.: 1 year) and cleaning is
usually done with the facilities available in the building sites. Conclusions. Our findings indicate that
water tanks used in building sites are uncontrolled, and there is not any
legislation for the control and inspection of the water tanks.
Key words: water tank, building
