    SMARTAGE PROJECTS presents GRP Panel Water

    Tanks Manufactured by POTAGLAS TANK, Malaysia.

    INTRODUCTION

    WATER, is an essential resource. Therefore, storage of clean, potable water for extended periods remains a top
    priority. The solution - GRP water tanks can have storage capacity from 5 thousand to 5 million liters.

    POTAGLAS TANK SDN BHD’s water tanks, constructed from Glassfibre Reinforced Polyester (GRP) panels,
    fulfill this requirement. Supported by technology from BRIDGESTONE CORPORATION of Japan and using the
    technically advanced Sheet Moulding Compound (SMC) production method, the GRP panels are
    dimensionally accurate, uniformly strong and extremely durable under all weather conditions.

    Until the introduction of GRP as a viable water storage medium, concrete and steel sectional tanks have been
    widely used on such applications as housing complexes, industrial developments, buildings, hospitals, rural
    and urban water reservoirs and other facilities. The use of concrete and steel, however have their own
    particular disadvantages.
    Steel for example, corrodes very easily - particularly in coastal environments and therefore is difficult to
    maintain, and requires frequent re-painting. In Concrete tanks, the quality of construction can vary
    significantly since it is labor intensive, and concrete tanks have a tendency to crack. Small cracks can lead to
    seepage and the possible contamination of the water. Concrete surfaces are also rough and may allow micro-
    organisms to grow on the surface. Once cracks appear in the concrete, it is difficult to rectify. In severe cases,
    fracture of the tank may occur which could cause the possible loss of the use of the tank.

    These problems can be avoided by using HOT PRESSED GRP/SMC PANELS which provide very uniform, strong
    and stable construction

    ADVANTAGES OF GRP OVER CONCRETE TANKS:

    - Fast construction due to modular design, durable tanks


    - Weight is considerably less compared to concrete (1/10th weight)
    - Flexible shapes possible, with partitions to store different
    types of water in the same tank
    - Leakages are rare, and if any, they are easy to attend and rectify
    - Capacity can be enhanced at a later date if required, easy maintenance
    - Base panel design allows complete drainage for maintenance
    - Smooth surface discourages growth of micro-organisms and dirt

    STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS

    TUV SUD PSB Singapore, and The Standards and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM) has certified
    POTAGLAS GRP panels to SS245:1995 "Specifications for Glassfibre Reinforced Polyester Sectional Water
    Tank". In addition, Potaglas Tank Sdn Bhd and SIRIM, in a joint research project, have subjected POTAGLAS GRP
    panels to 'accelerated weathering' tests. During the test, the GRP panels are subjected to 4000 hours of
    simulated rain, sunlight and UV rays and the results as shown in the table below. In these tests, POTAGLAS GRP
    panels maintained their structural integrity for about fifteen years of simulated service life, in tropical
    conditions, duly demonstrating their long term durability.

    Glassfibre Reinforced Polyester Sectional Water Tank”.
    Both Glass content and Barcol hardness are based and tested on unexposed samples only

    OPTIMUM STRUCTURE DESIGN


    Structural Analysis using Finite Element Method (FEM) is used to test the design of panel as well as the
    reinforcement system.

    TANK CONSTRUCTION

    SMC Hot Press moulding technology at 140 degrees heat and high pressure creates strong, uniform and stable
    panels. These panels are then assembled at site, along with the reinforcement system (INTERNAL TIE ROD or
    EXTERNAL REINFORCEMENT), foam sealant, roof supports and accessories.

    POTAGLAS GRP panels have passed WRAS - Effect on Water Quality - BS6920; hence able to store clean
    potable drinking water

    SHAPE FLEXIBILITY AND INSTALLATION

    GRP Panel Tanks are flexible in shape. This is useful to accommodate the tank in odd shaped locations and
    get the maximum capacity.
    Since the tank is transported in disassembled condition, no special equipment is needed to mobilize the
    tank to the correct location at site. On site, our trained teams perform the installation, fixing of flanges and
    testing (Visual Non Leak Test)

    BASE PANEL DESIGNED FOR DRAINAGE

    Design of the base panels and drain panels is such that it


    allows complete drainage of the tank for maintenance.
    This avoids stagnant water, and allows the tank to be
    thoroughly and quickly cleaned for maintenance.

    ELEVATED WATER TANK ON STEEL TOWER

    GRP water tanks can also easily be installed


    on steel towers which consist of truss and lattice
    type construction.

    Our proposed structures are recommended for


    certain extreme conditions. Lighter structures
    may be utilized under other operating conditions.

    CERTIFICATIONS

    POTAGLAS GRP Panel tanks have been approved by several certification bodies. Manufacturing and Supply
    is ISO 9001:2008 certified.
