The Life Cycle Of An FRP TANK From design To Long-Term Durability.
Initial Consultation
Customer needs are reviewed, including capacity, contents, environment, and code compliance.
Custom Design & Engineering
Tank specs are drawn up with CAD software — materials, wall thickness, resin type, and reinforcements are chosen based on performance requirements.
Fabrication Begins
Tank is built using lay-up, spray-up, or filament winding methods. Layers of resin and fiberglass are applied under strict quality control.
Material Selection
Proper resin (polyester, vinyl ester, or epoxy), fiberglass type, and corrosion barriers are selected for chemical compatibility and strength.
Curing Process
The tank is allowed to cure at controlled temperatures, forming a rigid, chemically resistant structure.
Inspection & Testing
Quality assurance includes visual checks, wall thickness measurements, and hydro or pressure testing for integrity.
Transport & Installation
Tanks are carefully moved to the job site and installed by a trained field team, ensuring alignment, anchoring, and venting.
Commissioning & Start-Up
System is tested under real operating conditions. Adjustments are made if needed before full operation begins.
Operation & Maintenance
With proper use and scheduled inspections, tanks often perform for decades. Minor touch-ups may be needed over time.
Repair, Retrofit Or Replacement
As tanks age, Hudson Fiberglass offers field repair, structural reinforcement, or full replacements to extend their life even further.
