Non Slip Surface
December 23, 2008
To improve the safety of installers when working on underground fibreglass tanks FTS apply a non slip coating to the top of the tank. This gives good grip allowing access to fittings and manways in complete safety.
This non slip coating consists of silica granules impregnated in fibreglass resin.
Underground Tank Installation - Ballasting
October 24, 2008
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.
