Reliable water supply that keeps your project on track
Running out of water mid-project stops everything. Concrete pours, dust suppression, crew hydration and wash-down bays all grind to a halt, costing time and money.
Aquaman Water takes that worry off the table. Your tanks arrive sized to the job, get plumbed in, and refills happen before levels drop, with no ladders, no reorder calls and no downtime.

- Cellular remote monitoring triggers refills before tanks fall below 30%
- Ballast fills, main commissioning, hydrovac refills and dust suppression covered
- Licensed bulk water carrier registered with Taumata Arowai for potable supply
Fully managed construction site water supply across the North Island
- Bulk water supply for any purpose, including large volume storage for dust suppression, compaction and greywater detention.

- Integrated pumps and building delivery solutions to get water where it is needed across your site.
Construction site water supply across Auckland and New Zealand, with tanks delivered, installed, filled and remotely monitored.
Managed tank hire from 1,000 to 10,000 litres
Aquaman supplies temporary water tanks in 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 5,000 and 10,000 litre sizes for civil and construction sites, multiples paired on larger projects. Every tank is a power free, gravity fed hydration station with food grade stainless steel push taps, from 10 taps on a 10,000L tank down to two taps on the 1,000L Hydration Cube. Tanks can be lifted by forklift, telehandler or crane.
All our tanks can be plumbed with a pump for mains-pressure delivery to supply a remote lunchroom, washrooms, and an exterior tap for washdown and sub-trades.
For larger storage requirements, multiple tanks can be linked together without the transport challenges of oversized tanks. Cellular remote tank monitoring schedules refills at an agreed low level. Larger jobs use our bulk water supply.

Specialist civil water applications beyond crew hydration
Aquaman meets specialist water needs on civil and construction sites:
- Ballast water stopping detention, stormwater and septic tanks lifting under groundwater pressure
- Water main commissioning: flushing, chlorinating and sterilising pipes before handover
- Hydrovac refills on site, keeping operators productive
- Temporary supply when meter connections stall: a Somerset tank stayed 10 months awaiting Watercare; a Universal Homes site over $500,000 in charges
- Dust suppression, concrete cutting and wash-down, with greywater monitoring near sensitive areas
- Bespoke setups: 30,000L tanks and 400,000L bladder storage on a 400m-deep bore running seamlessly 2.5 years
- Environmental reporting: on Penlink, monitored tanks feed consumption data into the contractor's environmental and sustainability reports
Fast mobilisation and national reach
Civil work is Aquaman's main focus, with heavy investment in tank stock. We can pivot quickly to demand. When a country school called at 9am after an E. coli outbreak, we delivered and filled a tank before lunchtime, allowing the school to reopen the following day. For out-of-area jobs, we're on the road within days of an accepted quote.
Nationally, we deliver and install directly and work with local water carriers to fill tanks cost-effectively, while levels are monitored remotely from Auckland.
Aquaman is a registered bulk water carrier with New Zealand's Water Services Authority - Taumata Arowai, supplying potable drinking water only. We are a member of Civil Contractors New Zealand and work alongside major contractors including Fulton Hogan, Higgins, Downer, HEB, Hawkins, Ventia and Dempsey Wood.
Our tanks, signage, cellular monitors, pumps and plumbing supplies are all made in New Zealand. Learn more about Aquaman or contact our team to discuss your project.

Large-volume storage: bladders, bore water and greywater detention
On civil projects with strict consent requirements, greywater detention captures kitchen sink and handwashing water, protecting surrounding land and waterways while reducing vermin risk.
On the Penlink project, more than 20 remotely monitored tanks managed potable water, bore water and greywater across the site, with consumption data supporting environmental and sustainability reporting.
For one deep bore project, Aquaman sourced and configured 400,000 litres of bladder storage, and integrated this into the client's bore. A control tank balances flows between the bore and storage system, switches the bore pump on and off and reports consumption to our monitoring portal. The water is then pumped on demand from the bladders to fill the project's dust suppression trucks.

The water is then pumped on demand from the bladders to fill the project's dust suppression trucks.
Over the project's two and a half year duration, water levels were monitored continuously, allowing storage systems to be refilled or drawn down before tanks ran dry or overflowed. This proactive monitoring forms part of our managed water services.
A Grade potable water delivery and volumetric reporting
Aquaman is licensed as a bulk water carrier through Taumata Arowai and is publicly listed as a drinking water supplier under registration WC00512. Licensing required a 32-page submission covering handling plans and risk management. Only potable water is carried; nothing else goes in the tanks.
The food-grade blue finish was was specified and gained certification for potable use and reflects sunlight to keep water cool. The volume below the tap line acts as stabilising ballast.
For environmental and host responsibility reporting, tanker delivery volumes and tank-level data are accessible. On Penlink, the environmental team uses that data to report fresh water delivered for NZTA compliance. Related reporting sits under event water supply.

Water use varies with crew size, dust suppression needs and concrete work. A small site might use 500 to 1,000 litres daily, while larger civil projects can burn through 10,000-plus litres.
Aquaman monitors usage remotely and adjusts refill schedules so construction site water supply matches actual demand.
Tank size depends on crew numbers, site activities and refill access. For crew hydration alone, a 1,000L Hydration Cube is usually enough. For dust suppression, concrete curing or wash-down, tanks between 10,000L and 30,000L are more appropriate.
Aquaman will assess the site and match tank capacity to the project timeline.
Yes, construction site water tanks can be relocated as the build advances. Aquaman handles the uplift, transport and re-installation, including re-plumbing hydration stations and reconnecting cellular monitoring.
This suits staged civil works where the compound, crew facilities or dust suppression zones shift over weeks or months.
Yes, construction site hydration stations support Health and Safety at Work Act obligations to provide clean drinking water for workers. Aquaman's stations feature stainless steel push taps, food-grade tanks and A Grade potable water, giving crews access to cool, safe drinking water throughout the shift.
