GKM FRP Panel Water Tank Systems

As an important feature of any potable water distribution, water storage needs call for high quality, durable, safe, hygienic and cost effective water storage tanks, which can be quickly installed.

GKM pioneered the introduction of Fibreglass Reinforced Panels (FRP) water tanks in Malaysia in 1985.

Under a technical agreement with Sekisui Plant Systems of Japan, we began local manufacture of FRP tank panels in 1987 that also saw a beneficial transfer of technology and product knowledge as well as installation techniques. This has made us a market leader in the supply of superior quality, durable and reliable FRP water tank systems. Throughout Malaysia and Brunei, we have sold and installed more than 3,000 FRP tank systems.

Engineered to strict quality control standards, and guided by extensive research and development as well as proven manufacturing practices and stringent control of raw material selection and formulation, the production of our FRP panels meets the certified ISO 9001:2000 standard. FRP panels allow us to provide complete solutions to water storage requirements by supplying and installing complete tank systems of various configurations and capacities using a wide range of panels, accessories, components and skid bases. The benefits of using GKM’s FRP water tank system include:

• No UV light penetration and algae formation
• No rust or corrosion
• Robust construction and water tight
• Lightweight
• Ease of handling and transport
• Minimum maintenance required
• Flexible design and installation to various configurations and capacities
• Tanks can be partitioned for convenience of maintenance or to allow for separate functions, such as potable water storage, cooling tower, or fire fighting applications
• Old, leaking tanks of other materials can be directly replaced at the same site with minimal expense on additional structures
