What is Glass-Fused-to-Steel
Glass-Fused-to-Steel gives significant benefits over other tank and silo systems. Two materials are fused together to achieve the best of both materials -the strength and flexibility of steel with the corrosion resistance of glass. Applied to both interior and exterior surfaces, Glass-Fused-to-Steel is able to provide many years of trouble free service in harsh environments.
Features & Benefits
- Long life span – Reduced operational costs
- Modular bolted tank construction – Rapid and cost effective site installation – Reducing project timescales, costs and requirement for on site equipment
- Flexibility to re-model – Tanks can be extended, dismantled and re-sited giving long term asset value
- Optimum corrosion resistance of Glass-Fused-to-Steel – Safe and secure storage, with minimal maintenance cost
- Complete range of diameter and height options with storage capacity solutions exceeding 50,000m3 (13,200,000 US Gallons) – Most cost effective solution to meet customers needs
