GRP Panel Tanks (Glass Reinforced Plastic) are modular water storage systems known for their exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life. Ideal for both potable and non-potable applications, these sectional tanks are used across industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
What is a GRP Panel Tank?
A GRP Panel Tank is a water tank constructed from high-strength fiberglass-reinforced plastic panels. These panels are bolted together on-site, allowing for flexible tank sizes and easy transport. The material is non-toxic, lightweight, and highly resistant to weathering, chemicals, and UV exposure, making it perfect for safe water storage.
Key Benefits of GRP Panel Water Tanks
- Corrosion-Resistant: Unlike steel tanks, GRP tanks do not rust or corrode.
- Customizable: Sectional panel design allows for various capacities and configurations.
- Lightweight & Strong: Easy to install, yet capable of withstanding high structural loads.
- Low Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep, offering excellent long-term value.
- Hygienic: Safe for storing drinking water due to inert internal surfaces.
Applications of GRP Panel Tanks
GRP Panel Water Tanks are widely used for:
- Potable water storage in buildings and remote facilities.
- Fire water reservoirs.
- Rainwater harvesting systems.
- Industrial process water.
- Agricultural water supply.
Their modular design makes them especially suitable for areas with limited access, rooftops, or basements.
Internal & External Reinforcement with tie Rods
To ensure structural stability, GRP tanks may be reinforced using internal or external tie rods. These components maintain the panel shape under hydrostatic pressure. Proper tie-rod configuration extends tank lifespan and helps retain the panel alignment even under demanding conditions.
GRP vs. FRP Tanks: what’s the Difference?
While both terms are sometimes used interchangeably, GRP specifically refers to fiberglass-reinforced plastic, whereas FRP can include other fibers like carbon or aramid. GRP tanks are ideal for water storage, offering a balance of strength, safety, and cost-efficiency.
