FTS Restructures

With the aquisition of Alminco's composite manufacturing business,

Fibretank Systems Pty Ltd is restructuring into two specialised

manufacturing divisions. The steel manufacturing division will trade

The new structure will facilitate future growth through the development

of new products and the building of specialised skills. Both divisions

will continue to manufacture at the current location in Carrington, Newcastle.

FTS is thankful for the support of our customers over the past ten years

and looks forward to providing quality innovative storage solutions for

the future.

Underground Tank Installation - Ballasting

In the past twelve months there have been a number of underground tanks that have required retesting and in some cases repairs when they came out of the hole after overnight rain. In all cases the installers had only partially ballasted the tanks or had not ballasted the tanks at all. It is imperative that underground tanks are progressively ballasted while the hole is being backfilled and remain ballasted until the final surface finish above them is completed and cured. Refer to our FRP Installation Manual for the correct installation proceedures.
