Installation:
Since the individual components can be pushed together using an excavator, the GRP fire water tank can be
installed very quickly. For example, the installation of a
tank with a usable volume of 100 m3 can be completed
in just one working day. The subsequent back-filling of
the trench is completed, as is the whole installation,
according to DIN EN 1610.

Storage systems with a volume from 75 m3 to more
than 300 m3 are suitable for the decentralised storage
of fire water according to DIN 14230.
FLOWTITE glass fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) fire
water reservoirs offer decisive advantages to enable
the fast, safe and above all cost-effective installation
of such systems.

GRP fire water tanks are permanently watertight and
corrosion-free. Additional painting or coating is not
necessary. Since the GRP material possesses very high
stiffness, GRP fire water tanks are also trafficable to
SLW 60. The reservoirs therefore offer an extraordinary
high level of operating safety, together with low maintenance and can be operated cost-effectively over many
decades.
All components are prefabricated at the plant and
assembled on-site using well-proven REKA plug-in
couplings. In addition, the low weight of the components
allows them to be installed mostly without using heavy
lifting equipment. Together with the small wall thickness
and the compact dimensions of the components, this
also enables installation to be carried out in constricted
spaces.

Moreover, the GRP material is extremely durable and
perfectly suited to storing fire water over long periods
of time.
Installation Steps:
• Delivery of the prefabricated components by truck
•Unloading with a truck-mounted crane or excavator
•Underlay according to DIN EN 1610
•Shifting and alignment of the components using
a truck-mounted crane or excavator
•Pushing the components together using an excavator bucket
• Filling the trench according to DIN EN 1610

Customised Manufacture:
FLOWTITE GRP fire water tanks are planned and
installed individually according to the local site conditions. Nominal diameters and construction lengths are
optimised to suit the available area. Equally, the number
and position of the suction armatures, as well as rainwater usage can be planned and realised according to customer requirements.
