Ask for a brochure

At GCER, we specialise in the manufacture of a wide range of GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) tanks, suitable for a variety of industrial applications. Our tanks are designed for the safe storage of liquid fluids, meeting the highest standards of quality and durability.

Each tank is precision-manufactured using top-quality materials and advanced production techniques. We are committed to providing storage solutions that combine robustness, chemical resistance and longevity. Our tanks are available in a variety of configurations to suit all storage needs, ensuring optimum performance and easy maintenance.

Advanced Techniques for the Manufacture of GRP Tanks

Advanced manufacturing methods for GRP tanks are based on : 

Filament winding:

this involves winding the material in wire or strip form around a reference mandrel. 

Contact moulding

A simple process for creating composite products, enabling a wide variety of shapes to be produced with optimum surface finish.

Simultaneous Projection

An advanced technique used to reinforce the structure of tanks, improving their strength and durability. 

Vertical GRP tanks for efficient and versatile storage

Vertical tanks are essential for the efficient storage of liquids in a variety of sectors. Designed to optimise the use of space and offer high stability, these tanks come in a range of configurations to meet the specific needs of each application. Whether storing food, chemical or industrial products, vertical tanks offer robust, cost-effective solutions, manufactured in SVR-GRP or SVR-GRP with a thermoplastic liner, in compliance with the most stringent international standards. 

Here are our different ranges of vertical tanks to suit your requirements :

01

Vertical GRP tanks on skirts

Vertical tanks on skirts are made of SVR-GRP or SVR-GRP with a thermoplastic liner. They are dimensioned in accordance with EN 13121-3 or other worldwide standards.
These tanks are typically fitted with domed upper and lower bottoms, providing an even distribution of stresses. However, configurations with flat or conical bottoms are also available, depending on specific project requirements.
The standard capacities of these tanks range from 1 to 150 m³, with diameters from 1000 mm to 4000 mm, suitable for a wide range of applications.

02

Vertical GRP tanks on legs

Vertical tanks on legs are specially designed for the storage of food or industrial products, meeting strict requirements in terms of cleanliness and impurity management. They can be emptied completely at regular intervals, facilitating thorough cleaning after each use.
Constructed in SVR-GRP or SVR-GRP with a thermoplastic liner, these tanks are sized in accordance with European standard EN 13121-3 or various worldwide standards.
Tanks are generally fitted with domed top and bottom for uniform load distribution, although flat top configurations are also available to meet specific requirements.
Standard tank capacities range from 1 m³ to 60 m³, with standard diameters from 1000 mm to 3000 mm. Customised configurations with smaller diameters can also be made on request.

03

Vertical GRP tanks with flat bottoms

Vertical tanks with flat bottoms are a preferred solution for overhead storage facilities because of their low cost and ease of installation directly on a concrete slab, without the need for additional operations.
Constructed from SVR-GRP or SVR-GRP with a thermoplastic liner, these tanks are sized in accordance with European standard EN 13121-3 or other rigorous international standards such as BS 4994, ASTM D-3299, ASTM D-4097, AD 2000 Merkblatt-N1, NF T57-900, ASMEX and ASME RTP-1.
Typically, these tanks are fitted with a GRC or PRC roof, although specific configurations such as a sloping flat bottom, a flat or partial roof, a conical roof, or even no roof, can be produced depending on project requirements.
The ferrule is manufactured using the filament winding process, while the bottoms and fittings are made by contact or spray moulding.
Standard tanks range in size from 1 to 200 m³, with larger capacities available on request. The maximum diameter is ∅ 6000 mm.

Horizontal GRP Tanks Optimised for Space and Adaptability

Horizontal tanks are the preferred solution for surface installations faced with height restrictions imposed by town planning regulations, visual constraints and available space.

GCER offers a wide range of horizontal tanks in SVR - GRP or SVR - GRP with thermoplastic liner, adapted to various industrial needs.

Our tanks can take several forms, including :

  • Tanks with GRC or PRC bottoms
  • Flat-bottom tanks
  • Tanks with hemispherical bottoms

Our tanks are designed in accordance with European standard EN 13121-3 or other internationally recognised standards. We can produce tanks with a maximum diameter of up to ∅ 6000mm, but we can also manufacture tanks with smaller diameters on specific request.

Underground GRP Tanks for Efficient and Reliable Subsurface Storage

Underground tanks are the ideal solution for underground storage facilities, offering low cost and ease of installation directly on a concrete slab, without the need for additional operations.

These vertical, flat-bottomed tanks are constructed from SVR-GRP or SVR-GRP with a thermoplastic liner, ensuring optimum resistance to environmental conditions and long durability.

Double-walled GRP tanks for enhanced safety

Double-walled tanks are specially designed for the safe storage of potentially dangerous liquids, offering enhanced protection against leaks and environmental incidents.

They come in two main configurations :

  • Reinforced vertical cylindrical tank with additional containment
  • Horizontal tank fully contained in a retention tank

Each tank is equipped with a leak detection device to ensure constant monitoring of fluids and rapid response in the event of a problem.

These double-walled systems guarantee maximum safety when storing and transporting sensitive substances, in compliance with the strictest environmental protection and industrial safety standards. 

Rectangular GRP tanks to maximise space and adaptability

Rectangular tanks are essential in industrial projects for specific applications, including the treatment and storage of various fluids.

Their rectangular design allows optimum use of space and precise adaptation to the particular requirements of industrial installations.

These tanks are built using durable, resistant materials selected according to the chemical properties of the liquids to be stored, ensuring maximum safety and efficiency.

Transport GRP tanks for optimised liquid logistics

 The transport tanks are specially designed for the safe road transport of chemical and food products, meeting the industry's rigorous standards.

Each transport tank is comprehensively equipped with :

  • Service equipment including tubing, piping, valves, pumps and cleaning system to ensure efficient handling and control of transported liquids.
  • Robust, secure mounting structure for optimum truck integration, ensuring stability and safety during transport.

Transport tank capacities range from 1 m³ to 25 m³, suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, ensuring maximum flexibility and efficiency in the logistics of sensitive liquids.
