| Feature | FRP Water Tank (SMC) | Concrete Water Tank |
|---|---|---|
| Composition | Molded fiberglass panels | Steel-reinforced cement |
| Structure | Modular, bolted on-site | Monolithic cast |
| Weight | Lightweight | Heavy |
| Surface | Smooth, non-porous | Porous, may crack |
FRP Tanks: Made from corrosion-resistant fiberglass reinforced plastic, they are unaffected by water, chemicals, or UV. No risk of rust or spalling.
Concrete Tanks: Susceptible to cracking, leakage, and steel corrosion over time, especially in high-salinity or coastal environments. Require internal coating for added protection.
FRP Tanks: The smooth inner surface prevents algae growth and sediment buildup. GTOFRP™ tanks use food-grade, non-toxic materials approved for potable water.
Concrete Tanks: Porous surfaces can harbor bacteria and are harder to clean. Regular disinfection is needed.
FRP Tanks: Delivered as lightweight panels that are easy to transport and assemble on-site. No large cranes or curing time required.
Concrete Tanks: Require heavy machinery, skilled labor, and a long curing period. Once built, they are fixed permanently in place.
FRP Tanks: Minimal maintenance. If damaged, individual panels can be replaced easily.
Concrete Tanks: Cracks may require expensive patching, lining replacement, or full tank reconstruction.
FRP Tanks: 30+ years when properly installed and maintained. GTOFRP™ tanks come with long-term structural guarantees.
Concrete Tanks: 40–60 years but with significantly more upkeep and risk of internal deterioration.
FRP Tanks: Modular design allows easy resizing, relocation, or shape adjustment to fit different site constraints.
Concrete Tanks: Fixed dimensions and location once constructed. Expansion is complex and costly.
| Aspect | FRP Tank (GTOFRP™) | Concrete Tank |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Material Cost | Medium | Medium to Low |
| Transportation & Labor | Low | High |
| Installation Time | 1–3 days (10–50 m³) | Weeks |
| Long-term Maintenance | Very Low | Medium to High |
While concrete may appear cheaper initially, the total cost of ownership is often higher over time.
Pre-engineered modular panels
Certified for potable water use
Anti-leak sealing system
International shipping & installation support
Long lifespan with reduced lifecycle cost
FRP water tanks clearly outperform concrete in key areas like hygiene, maintenance, corrosion resistance, and installation efficiency. For long-term water storage—especially in commercial, municipal, and industrial settings—GTOFRP™ FRP panel tanks provide a modern, cost-effective solution that’s easy to deploy and built to last.
