Rooftop Tanks Theres Nothing Wrong Up Here

They look like giant cylinders with sharp pointy party hats. Some people find it hard to see beauty in these things so they choose to keep them hidden behind walls. Family pride is what two specific gentlemen derive from these flying shark balloon tanks found across the New York City sky. The history of these two men's businesses goes a long way back into almost a century and they cater to wooden tank installation and services. These two gentlemen share in the clientele that is New York City. These gentlemen find amusement in the fact that despite the fastchanging times and technological development, New York City still depends on their wooden tanks. The Empire State Building, among others, makes use of steel water tanks instead of the usual wooden ones. Wood has several benefits over steel when used for water tanks such as greater insulation, being rustproof and easy reparability. US steel companies actually choose wooden water tanks over the steel ones. These wooden tanks last for generations. These wooden water tanks have become a permanent part of the New York skyline landscape. Water tanks need to be always present in the horizon. Most tall buildings are equipped with these tanks so that water is readily available in the event that a fire breaks out and this is required by the constitution. There are a few buildings in New York City that favor the use of electrical pumps to deliver water from the underground tanks to the top floors of the building over the wooden rooftop tanks. Continuously running electrical pumps is flying shark balloon the way by which water is delivered to the topmost floors of these buildings. Rooftop tanks promote energy conservation by not having electrical pumps run day in, day out to deliver water from the bottom of the building to the top. Each floor in the building is supplied with water through the power of gravity. A 12foot height rooftop tank has a total capacity of 10000 gallons and is affixed on 20foot high steel structure. The height makes tank work on a windy day dangerous if not impossible. Redwood or cedar staves bound together by galvanized iron hoops are what compose a rooftop tank. In order to keep the tank free from rain, snow and contaminants, cone shaped lids are used on the tanks, which also contribute to insulation during winter by trapping air inside. By acting on each other, the force of the hoops presses in and the force of the water pressing out produce a watertight effect on the tank. One of the companies established its headquarters in Philadelphia while the other is in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. There is a peculiar sense of beauty in these tanks and both company owners believe so. People build brick walls around these water tanks these days. People who have this innate capability to see beauty in most things, like the artists angry bird from Soho, do not consider the water tanks any different from all the other beautiful things. The yuppie from the Upper East Side who just bought an apartment does not consider a water tank to be part of his view.
