How to make one Korea GRP water tank panel?
1. Raw Material Preparation: Pre-mixed resin with glass fiber reinforcement, fillers, catalysts, and pigment.
2. Cutting & Weighing: SMC sheets are cut into the required size and weighed carefully to match the mold cavity volume.
3. Mold Preparation: Steel molds (upper and lower) are cleaned and coated with a mold release agent.
4. Hot Press Molding: The SMC material is placed inside the mold with an additional layer of fiberglass cloth and the temperature is raised to around 130–150°C for few minutes.
5. Demolding: After curing, the panel is removed from the mold.
6. Surface Finishing: Some panels are sanded or polished for a smoother finish.
7. Drilling and Edge Treatment: Drill holes for bolts, connectors, and flanges. (Korean FRP (SMC) water tank panels are designed with all four sides at a 90-degree right angle. This square-edge structure allows for precise alignment and tight sealing between adjacent panels during assembly)
8. Quality Inspection: Dimensional checks (length, width, thickness) and Visual inspection (cracks, bubbles, finish) and Mechanical tests (flexural strength, water absorption, impact resistance).
9. Packing and Storage: Panels are stacked and packed using foam or cardboard separators.
GRP panel water tank height matches the corrresponding panel weight
Higher Tanks Require Stronger Panels: As the tank height increases, the water pressure at the bottom increases. To withstand this pressure, thicker and heavier panels are used at the lower levels.

WRAS approved for Korea GRP panel water tank
WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) certification is a mandatory requirement in the UK to ensure that products in contact with drinking water do not contaminate the water and comply with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations. For FRP/GRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) water tanks, WRAS testing mainly focuses on the following areas:
Material Safety Testing
Verifying that GRP materials (resin, fiberglass, adhesives, etc.) do not release harmful substances into drinking water.
Testing is conducted according to the BS 6920 standard for non-metallic materials by a WRAS-approved laboratory.
Mechanical and Structural Performance Testing
Testing the tank’s stability when fully filled, checking for leakage, rupture, or deformation.
Includes static pressure and durability tests.
Surface and Cleanability Testing
Ensuring the internal surfaces of the tank are smooth, free of dead corners, easy to clean, and prevent bacterial growth.
Surfaces must be free from flaking, peeling, or cracking.
Aging Resistance
Assessing whether the material’s performance deteriorates or releases harmful substances under long-term water immersion, high temperatures, or UV exposure.
Migration Testing (Non-metallic Materials Migration Test)
Conducted by soaking the material under specified time and temperature conditions to detect any excessive migration of chemical substances into the water.
Evaluates parameters like odor, taste, color, and toxicity.

Elevated (Overhead) GRP Panel Sectional Water Tank vs Ground GRP Water Tank
According to the installation position, GRP panel water tanks (called FRP water tank or SMC water tank) can be categorized into elevated (or overhead) water tanks and ground (or on-ground) water tanks. Here’s a detailed description of each type:
Elevated GRP Water Tank (Overhead GRP Water Tank)
Installation Position: Installed at a height, usually on top of a tower, steel support structure, or building rooftop.
Purpose:
Provides gravity-fed water supply, eliminating the need for continuous pumping.
Ensures stable water pressure for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Commonly used in municipal water supply systems, high-rise buildings, agricultural irrigation, and firefighting systems.
Structural Features:
Requires strong supporting structures (concrete or steel towers) to bear the weight of the filled tank.
The tank is often designed with corrosion-resistant coatings to withstand outdoor exposure.
Can be constructed in modular panel form for easy transportation and assembly.
Advantages:
Energy-efficient: Uses gravity instead of relying on pumps.
Reliable water supply even during power outages.
Disadvantages:
Higher installation cost due to the need for a support structure.
Requires structural reinforcement for earthquake and wind resistance.
Ground GRP Water Tank (On-Ground Water Tank)
Installation Position: Installed directly on the ground or on a concrete base/foundation.
Purpose:
Used for water storage in factories, fire protection, agriculture, and residential areas.
Serves as a backup water supply in case of shortages or emergencies.
Structural Features:
Typically modular and assembled using galvanized steel panels.
Often equipped with inlet, outlet, overflow, and drainage pipes for efficient water management.
Can be customized in various sizes and shapes to fit available space.
Advantages:
Easier installation with lower structural requirements.
Scalable: Can be expanded by adding more panels.
Disadvantages:
Needs a pump to distribute water at higher pressure.
Takes up more ground space, which may not be ideal in urban areas.
Comparison Summary
| Feature | Elevated GRP Water Tank | Ground GRP Water Tank |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Installed on steel towers or concrete supports | Placed on concrete base or embedded into the ground |
| Water Supply | Gravity-fed system, reduces need for pumps | Requires pumps for water distribution |
| Maintenance | More difficult due to height, needs scaffolding | Easy access for cleaning and inspections |
| Initial Cost | Higher, due to support structure | Lower, no elevation structure required |
| Operation Cost | Lower in long term (uses gravity) | Higher due to continuous pump operation |
| Typical Applications | Rural water supply, agricultural irrigation, backup use | Urban water systems, residential buildings, factories |
