Water tanks are used to store water for the various purposes. In Singapore, the water tanks are mostly made of FRP / GPR (Fiber Reinforced Plastic / Glass Reinforced Plastic) material which commonly known as Sheet Moulding Compound Panel (SMP) Tank. The Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) water tanks are broadly serving for following purposes.
Note: Potable water tanks are made of Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) which is also known as Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), Reinforced Concrete with internal tiling or Stainless Steel. Out of this three, the most economical way to erect the potable water tanks is erection of Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) tanks. Waves Fluid Engineering Pte Ltd has its own Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) water tanks in compliance with SS 245:2014 (satisfying all PUB requirement) and competent team to install the Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) tanks at the client premises.
Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) tanks basically comes with or without partition based on the serving areas as below
Note: The purpose of the partition in Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) tanks is to compartment the Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) tanks. The reason for compartmentation is to prevent the water disturbance during the servicing / washing of either compartment. Waves Fluid Engineering Pte Ltd shall deliver the Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) tanks to the clients based on their consultant design with no compromise in the latest PUB requirement
The clients (Plumbing companies, main contractors, residents) shall call Waves Fluid Engineering Pte Ltd for a site survey and our engineer shall perform the site visit to assess the site conditions such as access, elevation, size(s) of the required Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) tank(s).
