GRP Tanks
– 20 years of experience –
Fibreglass is also known as GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic). This material has a number of advantages over other traditional materials used in the construction of water storage tanks. When it comes to installing a modern cold water storage tank, GRP is the ideal material.
A GRP tank is ideal for storing and dispensing safe drinking water. The installation of a GRP tank can greatly benefit schools, hospitals, and homes. It is designed to keep dirt and insects at bay while also preventing the growth of algae and bacteria. This will result in a steady supply of clean water. Glass-reinforced plastic tanks can store water safely, economically, and cleanly.
IT RESISTS CORROSION
Steel has long been used to store water, but it is corrosive and must be galvanized. GRP, on the other hand, is resistant to corrosion and chemicals, as well as wastewater and sewage. Because our GRP is made of dense fibers, it will not corrode, rust, or degrade over time, and the fiberglass mat contributes to the formation of a resin layer that will not crack over time. As a result, this system is highly resistant to even the most aggressive environments and can withstand the corrosion challenges that industries face. GRP has a longer lifespan than traditional steel because it requires no maintenance.
High Factor of Strength
Despite its lightweight, GRP is extremely strong. GRP outperforms traditional materials, including aluminum, in strength tests, making it ideal for long-term use. Each GRP product is made up of thousands of fiberglass strands that are encased in a high-quality polyester resin. This makes the material extremely strong while being far lighter than steel (typically one-fourth the weight of a similar steel structure), allowing water storage tanks to outperform and outlast their traditional steel counterparts.
Long Life Expectancy

This makes the material extremely strong while being far lighter than steel (typically one-fourth the weight of a similar steel structure), allowing water storage tanks to outperform and outlast their traditional steel counterparts.
Lightweight
It is a lightweight material with numerous advantages. As a result, roof installation will require less reinforcement because lighter weight and no heavy lifting equipment are required. It is possible to significantly reduce installation costs and install a cold water storage tank in a variety of properties without the use of cranes.
When compared to other materials used to manufacture water storage tanks, GRP is clearly the best choice. This lightweight and corrosion-resistant material outperforms traditional materials in every test and will last longer. GRP tanks are an excellent choice for installing a sectional water tank in your home.
Uses of GRP Tanks
The use of GRP Tanks has a wide range of applications. Popular applications include rainwater storage, which allows both homeowners and businesses to be more environmentally friendly and reduce wastewater; dipping tanks for manufacturers to coat their goods; and fire sprinkler reservoirs, which ensure a continuous supply of water in the event of a commercial building fire. Furthermore, the materials used allow them to be adapted and manufactured at a specialized level to be used to store chemicals in a safe and controlled workplace environment.
Customization
GRP water tanks are fully customizable due to the materials they are made of; they can be manufactured to almost any shape and size, depending on the consumer’s needs. The color of the water tanks can also be customized, which is an important feature for companies that store a wide range of hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals; color customization allows for immediate identification of GRP tanks and their contents.
Because of this level of consumer customization, the tanks can be specifically manufactured for a company’s needs, rather than the company having to adapt their working processes and environment for the tanks.
Temperature
When it comes to water and chemical storage, the temperature is also crucial. Maintaining a temperature in your water tank below 20 degrees Celsius will greatly reduce the risk of bacteria growth. With pre-insulated GRP Tanks, the water can be kept within a temperature margin, preventing microbiological growth at the source. Insulation can be provided in a variety of thicknesses depending on the needs of the consumer, but typically ranges between 25 and 100mm. When it comes to water storage, peace of mind is everything. An ideal water tank is one that can be purchased, installed, and left alone without having to worry about the tank’s integrity or the sanitary standard of the water being stored.
