Shilpa Chandran n an age when longevity and sustainability has become more than a buzz word, more and more companies are looking to manufacture products that can stand the test of time without causing a negative effect on the environment. This becomes a crucial point espe-
cially when it comes to storing or containing materials. One such material that has gained recognition in this area with regards to storing and containing water has been GRP. Glass Reinforced Plastic, or GRP water tanks have become a popular alternative for companies wanting to upgrade their water storage units. GRP or fibre glass as its more commonly known in industry usage, is made through layering and combining glass fibres. They are known to be more durable and resistant to adverse temperatures and weather - a key point in choosing this substitute in the arid climate of the GCC. These water tanks were first introduced in the early 1970′s. Due
to their flexibility and adaptability in extreme climates, they gained advantage over traditional systems to store clean drinking water. GRP water tanks are robust and reliable, providing a suitable storage option for potable water, non-potable water, waste water and more. They are composed of fiberglass, which makes the tanks

adaptable in terms of design for configurations that include above ground tanks, vertical tanks, flat top tanks, horizontal tanks, and underground water storage tanks. Furthermore, the water tanks can be used for a number of situations, depending on location and storage requirements, and can accommodate additional fittings, designs or coatings to accommodate specific liquids. All GRP tanks are composed of a robust outer shell that is naturally resistant to UV exposure, weather elements, and other outdoor elements. They are moulded and coated with the appropriate resins in order to accommodate the intended liquid storage. As well as this, it is lightweight, more hygenic and more economical and built of robust material, a fibre polymer made of a plastic matrix reinforced by fine fibres of glass, that can be made easily using moulding processes. Due to their inert nature, they are optimal for storing and keeping water safe for longer durations of time. They also help prevent algae or bacterial growth by preventing external light to enter these units, and also avoids the risk of corrosion. There are several applications of GRP Water Tanks. They can be used as fire sprinkler reservoirs that ensures seamless waterflow in case of fire outbreaks. They can also be used as dipping tanks by manufacturers. Additionally, in the chance of rainfall they can be used to store rainwater - an environmentally friendly advantage. They can also be used to store chemicals without the fear of leakages and toxicity. They also help facilitate assembly at construction sites with ease, making construction time shorter. These tanks are extremely customisable as well. They can be manufactured to fit multiple purposes, in any given size and shape and for any application required. Due to its flexibility in material, these products can be moulded to fit any industrial requirements. GRP Water tanks make it possible to maintain temperature for storage of water and chemicals. This not only reduces bacteria growth but due to the pre-insulated properties, water can be stored within a required temperature margin. Another significant benefit in the use of GRP Water Tanks is that the material is corrosion resistant. It can hold highly aggressive external weather compared to other options like steel and aluminum which are subject to corrosion and require anodising and galvanizing which can raise costs as well put the composition of the liquid in contact with harmful elements. GRP water tanks are far superior than its competitors due to the level of safety it provides at minimum cost. Although light weight, GRP offers extreme strength in load bearing weight. Its high glass-to-resin ratios gives leverage to this advantage. This also makes it a low-cost option, as the transport cost is significantly reduced as compared to steel or aluminium. They can be transported easily due to its mobile enhancers and is also easy to maneuver across work sites. In addition, installation costs are also made minimal for companies. Moreover, GRP has a life span of 25 years. Its durability is another added feature in being a material of choice by industries and companies the world over. Due to its many faceted benefits and advantages across verticals, GRP water tanks is a suitable option for industries across locations.
