Materials consist of (local produced) bricks (or blocks of hard rock), cement and steel wire. Approximately 1 bag of 50 kg cement per m3 tank volume. The bigger the volume of the tank, the lower the amount of materials (and thus costs) per m3 tank volume.

The cost of underground tanks can be high and variable in cost per m3 of storage (seem to average around US$30-40 per m3 of storage), sometimes a lot more depending on various factors.
