Introduction
What Is GRP?
Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), also known as fiberglass (FRP), has emerged as a leading material for water tank construction due to its superior strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.Advanced GRP panel technology enhances the efficiency, sustainability, and performance of water storage systems.
Material Composition:GRP panels are made by combining glass fibers with a polymer matrix, typically unsaturated polyester resin. This combination results in a lightweight yet robust structure.
Modular Design: Panels are designed to be prefabricated and modular, allowing for easy transport and quick assembly on-site. This reduces construction time and labor costs.
Corrosion Resistance:GRP panels are inherently resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for storing potable water and other liquids. This characteristic extends the lifespan of the tanks significantly.
Thermal Insulation:The material provides excellent thermal insulation, minimizing temperature fluctuations in stored water, which is crucial for maintaining water quality.
Customisability: Panels can be manufactured in various sizes and thicknesses, allowing for customization based on specific project requirements and space constraints.
Our GRP water tanks are manufactured with advanced hot press technology using premium Sheet Moulding Compound (SMC). This method ensures that every tank is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and with an option of insulated panels, making it ideal for storing potable water and other liquids.

Advanced GRP panel technology represents a significant advancement in water tank design and construction. With benefits such as corrosion resistance, lightweight properties, and high customization potential, GRP panels are a versatile and sustainable choice for various water storage applications.
To mount GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) storage tanks securely, they're generally fixed onto an outer flange, necessitating a robust steel base frame over a dedicated concrete pad. This steel base ensures that the tanks base panels are fully supported, offering a more rigid and stable structure.

Characteristics Of Hot-Press GRP / Water Tanks
HYGIENEThe smooth gloss finish ensures high resistance to debris attachment, maintaining superior cleanliness over time.
CONTAMINATION OF WATERTank panels made using HOT-PRESS TECHNOLOGY ensure water remains free from any impact on taste or smell.
WATER TIGHTNESSFoam sealants resist oxidation, weathering, fungus, and water absorption, ensuring a long-lasting seal.
RESISTANCE TO CORROSION AND DETERIORATIONThe smooth surface minimizes debris attachment, offering enhanced long-term durability and resistance.
TANK WEIGHTThe lighter tank assembly uses stronger panels and optimized design, requiring fewer external reinforcements.
EASE OF MAINTENANCECorrosion-resistant stainless steel components (bolts, nuts, and washers) simplify and reduce maintenance needs.
