FRP/GRP Sectional Panel Water Tank

Mui Fatt supplies FRP/GRP Sectional Panel Water Tanks manufactured by YT Fiberglass Industries Sdn Bhd, its manufacturing subsidiary in Malaysia. These modular water storage tanks are assembled from fiberglass-reinforced plastic panels using bolted connections and internal and external bracing, allowing different capacities and configurations to suit required water volume and available space. FRP/GRP sectional panel tanks are used for residential, commercial, industrial and public works applications, including potable water storage.

Key Features and Benefits

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 Water Storage

The tanks use a food-grade internal gelcoat and are suitable for potable clean-water and cold-water storage, according to the manufacturer's specifications.

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 Sectional Panel Water Tank Specifications

Available Tank Capacities and Configurations

Mui Fatt FRP/GRP sectional panel water tanks are available in modular configurations from 1,000 litres (1 m³) up to 500,000 litres (500 m³). The sectional panel design allows tank capacity to be configured according to the required water volume and available installation space.

Standard panel sizes include 1 m × 1 m and 1.5 m × 1 m. Individual panels are assembled on site using bolted connections and internal and external bracing, allowing different tank dimensions and capacities to be configured for the installation requirements.

Available configurations include tanks for residential, commercial, industrial and institutional applications, with installation requirements depending on the selected tank configuration and site conditions.

Applications

FRP/GRP sectional panel water tanks are used for water storage across residential, commercial, industrial and institutional applications. Their modular construction allows tank capacity and configuration to be adapted to the available space and required water volume.

Typical applications include:

• Residential developments — storage of clean and potable water for residential buildings.
• Commercial buildings and office towers — domestic and general water-storage requirements.
• Industrial facilities — water storage for manufacturing and industrial operations.
• Institutional facilities — water-storage requirements for institutional buildings.
• Rainwater harvesting — storage of collected rainwater where suitable for the intended application.
• Cold-water storage — suitable for potable clean-water and cold-water storage.
• Cooling tower water storage — applications requiring dedicated water storage for cooling systems.

Materials and Construction

Mui Fatt FRP/GRP sectional panel water tanks are manufactured using a moulding process designed to produce panels with consistent dimensions, strength and curing. The panels are manufactured by YT Fiberglass Industries Sdn Bhd using a combination of unsaturated polyester resin, E-Class chopped strand mat and E-Class woven roving.

The sectional panels are assembled on site using bolted connections with internal and external bracing. This modular construction allows individual panels to be transported and assembled according to the required tank capacity and available installation space.

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 YT Fiberglass 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 SPAN approval for potable water storage.

The tank system is designed to comply with the MS 1390 hydrostatic pressure testing guidelines. Quality control covers the manufacturing and testing of the FRP/GRP panels to support their use in water-storage applications.

SPAN product listings are renewed annually. Official copies of the latest SPAN Product Certificate and SIRIM QAS listing are available upon request for M&E submission.

For potable-water applications, the tanks use a food-grade internal gelcoat and are suitable for potable clean-water and cold-water storage.

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 hoisting access and the availability of a prepared concrete plinth foundation.

The installation scope covers material supply and on-site panel assembly. The customer is responsible for providing the required concrete plinth foundation before installation.

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.

Projects and Applications in Malaysia

Mui Fatt FRP/GRP sectional panel water tanks are supplied for water-storage applications across Peninsular Malaysia, serving a range of commercial, industrial, residential and institutional environments.

Typical installation environments include:

• Commercial office towers
• Industrial manufacturing plants
• Residential developments
• Institutional facilities

The modular sectional design allows tank systems to be configured according to the required storage capacity and site conditions, including installations where access for transporting large, pre-assembled tanks is limited.
