GRP panel type water tanks are the best option for safe, secure, and convenient water storage.
Here are key reasons why they are better than traditional steel, concrete, and plastic alternatives:
Unlike steel, GRP is completely non-corrosive. When metal parts are required, our GRP tanks feature high-grade stainless steel that is highly resistant to corrosion. The result is a safe and reliable water supply without the need for ongoing maintenance.
Our hot-press molding process ensures all GRP panels are fully cured instantly and the chemicals used evaporate completely. The water in our tanks is always fresh and untainted by tastes and smells; not always the case with traditional fiberglass production processes.
Made to comply with the world’s most stringent quality and safety standards, our GRP panel tanks deliver, on average, around 40 years of safe and secure water storage without the need for any ongoing maintenance and servicing.
We use Finite Element Analysis software to design enhanced GRP panels that are stronger and more durable. Combined with the use of high-grade material, this approach delivers a 6X safety factor to ensure ultimate protection from earthquakes and severe weather.
The panel-based design makes palletizing and transportation easy and efficient. Our tanks can be flat-packed at about 10% of their assembled volume, speeding up the implementation and the shipping processes, reducing storage and labor requirements, and slashing overall costs.
Assembling our GRP panel type water tanks is a quick and simple process – thanks to their modular design. All you will need are a few basic tools and some willing volunteers, but our technicians are here to help if you require technical assistance or on-site supervision.
Unlike concrete or steel tanks, you’ll never have to paint your GRP panels or patch cracks. In addition, any joint leaks can be sealed instantly. Thanks to their design, maintenance can be conducted while the tank is still operational.
Clean and drain your Solico tank quickly and without hassle thanks to the combination of convex base panels and a concave drain panel. Our partitioning system allows you to clean one compartment while others remain in use.
Make the most out of limited or awkwardly shaped spaces by creating just about any shape or configuration. Choose from square-shaped tanks, rectangular, or other arrangements such as L, U, T, and even more complex shapes.
Stuck for space? That’s not a problem when you choose a Solico panel tank. Using a range of reinforcements designed to withstand higher water pressures, we’re able to offer solutions of up to 6m in height. This is perfect when space is at a premium.
The thermal conductivity of GRP panels is 240 times lower than that of steel. The result is a superior insulating effect that is capable of keeping the temperature of the water steady without any additional measures.
To minimize temperature variations, we go even further by insulating our GRP panels with 25mm or 50mm Polyurethane foam. This protects water supplies from overheating or freezing. It’s a low-cost way to save energy, too.
