SMC panel tanks are modular water storage tanks manufactured using Sheet Moulding Compound (SMC) panels and assembled at the installation site. GRP panel tanks use glass-reinforced composite materials to provide a strong and corrosion-resistant solution for water storage.

These sectional tanks are particularly useful for applications where large storage capacity, restricted access, rooftop installation or customized tank dimensions make transportation and installation of a conventional one-piece tank difficult.

Aradhana Fibreglass Technologies provides SMC and GRP panel tank solutions for large scale residential buildings, commercial facilities, industries, institutions and other water storage applications across India

What is an SMC Panel Tank?

An SMC panel tank is a modular water storage tank manufactured using Sheet Moulding Compound (SMC) panels. The individual panels are transported to the installation site and assembled to form a complete sectional water tank.

SMC panel tanks are designed for reliable water storage and are suitable for commercial and industrial applications where durability, corrosion resistance and flexible installation are important. Their sectional construction also makes transportation and installation easier in locations with restricted access.

Depending on the project requirements, SMC panel tanks can be configured for different storage capacities and installation conditions.

GRP water tank for commercial and industrial applications

What is a GRP Water Tank?

A GRP water tank is a water storage system manufactured using Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), a composite material designed to provide strength and corrosion resistance.

GRP panel tanks are constructed using individual panels that are assembled at the project location. This modular design makes them suitable for larger water storage requirements and projects where transporting a large one-piece tank may be difficult.

GRP water tanks can be used for commercial and industrial water storage applications, subject to the required tank specifications and project conditions.

SMC/GRP Panel Tank vs Steel and RCC Tanks

SMC/GRP panel tanks offer a modular approach to water storage compared with conventional steel and RCC tanks. The most suitable tank depends on storage capacity, site conditions, access, installation requirements and project specifications.

Feature SMC/GRP Panel Tank Conventional Steel Tank RCC Tank
Corrosion Resistance High corrosion resistance due to composite construction* Depends on steel grade, coating and protective treatment Not generally affected by metal corrosion; waterproofing and concrete durability require consideration
Construction Modular sectional panel construction Typically fabricated or assembled from steel sections Site-built reinforced concrete construction
Site Assembly Panels are assembled at the installation site Depends on tank design and fabrication method Constructed at the project site
Restricted Site Access Well suited because individual panels are easier to transport Suitability depends on component size and access conditions Site construction can be challenging in restricted areas
Installation Time Generally quicker due to modular assembly* Project dependent Generally longer due to civil construction and curing
Custom Dimensions Flexible modular configurations Possible based on fabrication requirements Possible during structural design and construction
Maintenance Periodic inspection, cleaning and maintenance as required May require coating inspection, corrosion protection and repairs May require waterproofing, structural inspection and repairs
Transportation Individual panels are comparatively convenient to transport Depends on fabricated component dimensions No tank transportation; materials are delivered to the site
Installation Flexibility Suitable for various locations subject to structural requirements Depends on tank design and site conditions Requires suitable civil and structural provisions
Note: Actual performance, installation time and maintenance requirements depend on tank specifications, site conditions, design, installation quality and operating environment.
