Key Features and Benefits of FRP/GRP Sectional Panel Water Tank
Modular Sectional Construction
FRP/GRP sectional panel tanks are assembled from individual panels using bolted connections with internal and external bracing. The modular design allows tank capacity to be configured according to the required water volume and available installation space.
Lightweight Construction
The tanks weigh approximately one-third as much as an equivalent steel tank. This can reduce structural dead load, which is particularly relevant for elevated slabs and high-rise rooftop installations.
Non-Corrosive Construction
FRP/GRP panels are non-corrosive and do not rust internally or externally. This helps support long-term water storage without the corrosion issues associated with steel tanks.
Suitable for Potable and Other Suitable Water Storage
The tanks use a food-grade internal gelcoat and are suitable for potable municipal drinking water and treated cold-water storage. They can also be used for rainwater harvesting and non-corrosive process water at ambient temperatures, subject to the suitability of the stored liquid and project requirements.
Designed for Restricted Access
The sectional construction allows individual panels to be transported through relatively tight access routes and freight lifts. Assembly is completed on site without hot-works or structural welding.
Fast Installation
Standard configurations typically require 2–4 days for installation, depending on site hoisting access and whether the required concrete plinth foundation has been prepared. The stated installation scope covers material supply and on-site panel assembly.
UV-Stabilized Material
The FRP/GRP panels use polyester resin with UV stabilization, supporting their use in outdoor installations.
FRP/GRP vs Steel Water Tanks
FRP/GRP sectional panel water tanks and steel water tanks can both be used for water storage, but their construction, weight and corrosion characteristics differ. For projects where transport access, structural loading and corrosion resistance are important considerations, the differences may affect tank selection.
| Factor | FRP/GRP Sectional Panel Tank | Steel Tank |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Fiberglass-reinforced polymer sectional panels assembled on site | Steel construction, typically assembled or fabricated using steel components |
| Weight | Approximately 1/3 the weight of an equivalent steel tank | Heavier than the equivalent FRP/GRP tank |
| Corrosion | Non-corrosive and does not rust internally or externally | Requires corrosion protection and appropriate maintenance to manage rust |
| Restricted access | Individual panels can be transported through tight access routes and freight lifts | Transport and installation can depend more heavily on access for larger components |
| On-site assembly | Bolted sectional assembly without structural welding or hot-works | Installation method depends on the selected steel tank system |
| Typical installation | Standard configurations typically require 2–4 days, subject to site conditions | Installation time varies according to tank design, site conditions and construction method |

Materials and Construction
Mui Fatt FRP/GRP sectional panels are manufactured by Y.T. Fibreglass Industries Sdn Bhd using the hand lay-up (contact moulding) process. Layers of E-Class chopped strand mat and E-Class woven roving are laid into the panel mould by hand and wetted out with unsaturated polyester resin, then cured to produce panels with consistent dimensions and strength.
Many FRP sectional panels on the market are instead produced by SMC (sheet moulding compound) press moulding, where a pre-made compound sheet is compressed in a heated machine press. Mui Fatt panels are hand laid-up rather than SMC press-moulded.
The sectional panels are assembled on site using bolted connections with external Hot-Dipped Galvanized (HDG) steel bracing and internal SS304/SS316 stainless-steel tie-rods or stays. This structural bracing system supports the integrity of the assembled tank and follows the applicable MS 1390 guidelines.
The FRP/GRP panel system uses 1 m × 1 m and 1.5 m × 1 m standard panel sizes, with additional panel dimensions and technical specifications available for different tank configurations.
The manufacturing material specifications include BS 3532, BS 3496 and BS 3479. The panels are also subject to SIRIM supervision and testing as part of the quality-control process.
Standards, Certifications and Quality Control
Mui Fatt FRP/GRP sectional panel water tanks are manufactured by Y.T. Fibreglass Industries Sdn Bhd, Mui Fatt's manufacturing subsidiary and SIRIM-certified manufacturer in Malaysia.
The product is benchmarked against MS 1390:2010, with SIRIM QAS certification and registered with SPAN for potable water storage.
The tank system is designed to comply with the MS 1390 hydrostatic pressure testing guidelines. Technical documentation includes MS 1390:2010 type-test certification, SIRIM hydrostatic pressure test compliance, raw material certification referencing BS 3532 and BS 3496, and stainless-steel tie-rod mill test reports.

Installation Requirements
FRP/GRP sectional panel water tanks are assembled on site from individual panels using bolted connections and internal and external bracing. Standard configurations typically require 2–4 days for installation, depending on site access and the availability of a prepared concrete plinth foundation.
The installation scope covers material supply and on-site panel assembly by the appointed installer. The customer is responsible for providing the required concrete plinth foundation, as well as offloading and hoisting the tank panels and components and arranging them next to the prepared concrete plinth before installation begins.
The sectional construction also allows tank panels to be transported through tight access routes and freight lifts, making the system suitable for locations where transporting a fully assembled tank would be difficult.
For standard installations, the concrete plinth should be prepared according to the requirements of the selected tank configuration.
Maintenance and Inspection
Routine maintenance should include an annual internal gelcoat inspection and scheduled inspection of the internal SS304/SS316 tie-rods and external HDG bracing. Annual draining, sediment flushing and sanitization should also be carried out in accordance with applicable local health and water-authority guidelines.
