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 skirt

Vertical tanks on skirt are made of GRP or 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 with legs

Vertical tanks with 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 GRP or 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 bottom

Vertical tanks with flat bottom 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 GRP or 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 bottom 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 GRP or GRP with thermoplastic liner, these tanks can take the following forms :

  • Tanks with GRC or PRC bottoms
  • Tanks with flat bottoms
  • 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 above-ground storage facilities, offer low cost and can be installed directly on a concrete slab, without any additional operations.

These vertical, flat bottom tanks are made of GRP or GRP with a thermoplastic liner, ensuring optimum resistance to environmental conditions and long durability.

Double wall GRP tanks for enhanced safety

Double wall 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.

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.

Road GRP tanks for optimised liquid logistics

Road tanks are specially designed for transporting chemical and food products by road.

The main features of a transport tank are :

  • 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, guaranteeing stability and safety during transport.

Transport tank capacities range from 1 m³ to 25 m³, suitable for a wide range of applications.
