WHAT IS GRP WATER TANK ?

GRP water tanks, short for Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic water tanks, stand as prominent fixtures in the industry and civil sectors for water storage. Their lightweight composition, stemming from the use of Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic, facilitates easy transportation and installation, setting them apart from heavier alternatives like steel. The structural integrity of these tanks is bolstered by the robust combination of a plastic matrix and glass fibers. Notably, their modular and sectional assembly, achieved through standardized panels, ensures adaptability to diverse spatial constraints and installation requirements.
