Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) Panel Tanks are modular water storage solutions engineered for durability, certified hygiene, and flexibility of installation. Manufactured using high-density SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound) panels, these sectional tanks are ideal for potable drinking water, building services, dedicated fire-fighting reserve networks, and industrial utility applications.
Their modular sectional design allows them to be transported through standard doorways and elevators, making them the preferred system for retrofits, basements, high-rise rooftops, and plant rooms where single-piece cylindrical tanks cannot physically enter.
Hot pressed panels are manufactured under precisely controlled high temperature and hydraulic compression pressure using advanced metal tooling and matched dies. This closed-mold compression process ensures optimal resin-to-glass distribution and eliminates air voids:
Our panel water tanks are erected on hot-dip galvanized steel skid bases and supported by internal tie-rod or external bracing matrices:
| Component | Engineering Specification |
|---|---|
| Standard Panel Dimensions | 1000 mm × 1000 mm, 1000 mm × 500 mm, and 500 mm × 500 mm modules for flexible sizing. |
| Molding Process | High-pressure hydraulic press molding (150°C and >1000 psi) utilizing Sheet Moulding Compound (SMC). |
| Internal Reinforcement | Stainless Steel (SS 304 / SS 316) tie-rods, roof support pillars, and corner stay brackets. |
| External Reinforcement | Heavy-duty Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) structural angle iron frames and corner angles. |
| Joint Sealant | Non-toxic, food-grade synthetic elastomer sealing tape ensuring 100% water tightness. |
| Insulation (Optional) | Polyurethane (PU) thermal foam core encapsulated within double-skin panels to maintain water temperature. |
| Fittings & Accessories | Internal SS ladders, external HDG ladders, screened air breathers, water level indicators, and lockable manholes. |
Hot-pressed SMC panels are manufactured under heavy hydraulic pressure and high heat in precision steel molds. This produces uniform wall thickness, smooth resin-rich surfaces on both faces, higher tensile strength, and zero air entrapment compared to traditional manual lay-up panels.
Yes. Because the tank is transported as individual panels and bolted together on-site, it easily passes through standard corridors, staircases, and service elevators, making installation simple in constrained interior plant rooms.
Panels feature precision bolt flange edges sealed with continuous specialized food-grade elastomeric gasket strips. Once torqued with high-tensile fasteners, the joint creates a hermetic, leak-proof barrier certified for potable water.
Yes. We offer factory pre-insulated sandwich panels with a polyurethane (PU) foam core. This thermal layer protects stored water from high ambient rooftop temperatures, preventing condensation and preserving water coolness.
