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.
