Water Storage Tanks 

GRP Water Storage Tanks

GRP Water storage tanks are manufactured for many applications including drinking water (potable water), non-potable commercial water & agricultural water storage including irrigation, farming, fire suppression, chemical manufacturing & food preparation to name a few. The components of the tank change with each application. I.e. drinking water will be stored differently to water for non-potable use.

Different types of water storage tanks available include:

One Piece tanks
Modular tanks
Slim tanks
Concrete tanks
Poly tanks/Plastic tanks
GRP tanks/Fibreglass tanks
Metal/Steel tanks

Benefits to using GRP water storage tanks

The most important advantages of using GRP water storage tanks compared to an alternative material include:

– Weight advantages of GRP tanks
GRP has a Low weight-to-strength ratio, GRP tanks weigh less than alternative materials but they also have high strength to weight ratio, which is an important factor when choosing the tank that is right for your needs. Lightweight properties of the GRP tanks will be a benefit for the costings & ease of installation especially on equipment that must be mounted/transported/fitted & assembled.

– Costing of GRP material
GRP material costs less than alternative materials used for water storage tanks, materials like concrete & steel cost more to produce. GRP is the best solution for corrosion problems at the lowest price.

– Economical
GRP is the best alternative to competitor substances on the market; GRP has high strength properties at the lowest weight making it the more economical price point.

– High Strength Factor
GRP weights 1/7th the weight of steel tanks and ½ the weight of aluminium water tanks while keeping the heavy weight strength properties.
