Poly come in many shape and size.

You can have 1000L poly also.

I use 2 poly size 450L= 900l.

Thickness 100mm - 240kg/m2 - 7.26kN/m2

My concrete is open air too. Should have a drainage for water flow out. Concrete treat with water sealant and paint.

yes ..after long time the rain water drop into same place ..slowly concrete become holes and crack line ..thus water leak ..
some area the water will stuck there and wont flow to the drainage...

This leak can be treated and repaired. The concrete load also depends on the iron bar used.

You can google for video on how to repair the crack line. Plenty  smile.gif

Of course you'll never know unless you get the architect drawing  laugh.gif

Looks like they designed the tank to be put on concrete slab. I'm sure that part of concrete is the strongest point. Probably got column to support it.

pentens T200 can help to covered the crack line ?

wonder the tank can last for how long ..

Clean it up and apply waterproof sealant.

Than tile it up the whole area.

Cause the waterproof sealant cannot last for long. You need to apply it from time to time.

Tile it up will prevent the rain from chipping off the concrete.

ya...that's why tile for that particular area only ...

what method to apply can last longer to prevent the leak?

thanks ...
