GRP Water Tank

1. Scope

Water and air are indispensable for our life. Our purpose here today is to install a tank to store this valuable water. Regardless of tank types, it is most important to prevent water leaks after the completion of the tank.

In order to prevent any leaks, it is essential for you to follow, carefully and closely, the guidelines and recommendations made by Baegkwang Platech Co., Ltd.

This guideline is a product of continuous test and studies on the installation of GRP sectional water tanks. As a result, unless you follow the rules described here, dreadful accidents, due to leaks or cracks, may occur. Therefore we strongly recommend that you consult this guide whenever necessary when assembling this tank so as to build a flawless tank.
