As industry pioneers, we are the world’s leading provider of composite tanks and silos. We collaborate closely with our customers in the design and manufacturing process to deliver the perfect solution. Every time.
OUR MISSION
We’re achieving this objective by sharing expert knowledge with our customers, by providing better access to specialist consultants, products and services, and putting safety first.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Access better thinking. Our R&D department created a world-class silo made from fibre-glass reinforced plastic (FRP) — a material that provides clear benefits compared to traditional materials.
PEOPLE
Access better people. Our relationships are as strong as our tanks. They’re built on shared knowledge, deep consultation, exceptional service and aftercare that extends beyond installation.
OWNED MANUFACTURING
Access better quality. Our design and manufacturing procedures are carefully controlled, and inspections are performed at every stage.
SAFETY & COMPLIANCE
Access better safety. Safety is at the heart of all our designs. We comply with the strictest regulations, including those mandated by the Australian Dangerous Goods Code and the Environmental Protection Agency.
KNOWLEDGE
Access better smarts. With three generations of knowledge, 50+ years of experience and over 175 million litres of chemicals and liquids stored, no one knows tanks and silos better than us.
Frequently Asked Questions Access Better Answers
- What is Fibre Glass Reinforced Plastic?
Fibre Glass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) is a composite material made from plastic with fibreglass plastic fibres embedded into the plastic. These composite materials reinforce the plastic, making it stronger, anti-corrosive, and longer lasting than concrete or steel tanks or silos.
- What are the benefits of using Fibre Glass Reinforced Plastics over traditional materials?
FRP tanks are known for their smooth interior surface, superior durability and for delivering excellent temperature resistant properties. They are lightweight, strong, and ideal for water and chemical storage. Here are some of the advantages of FRP tanks.
Resistance to Corrosions and Chemicals
A distinct advantage of FRP tank is its corrosion resistant to harsh corrosive chemicals, such as sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide, aluminium sulphate, coagulant and more. All FRP tanks are manufactured with high surface corrosion resistance, which is achieved by adding a smooth resin-rich layer, which reduces friction. Unlike concrete tanks, our FRP tanks guarantee resistance to corrosive chemicals found in sewers and wastewater.
100% leak proof
Our corrosive resistant tanks and silos are 100% watertight to prevent spillage of hazardous substances.
Low maintenance
FRP tanks and silos are manufactured using a smooth resin layer to prevent the build-up of scum, and are resistant to abrasion from grit, resulting in minimal clean ups and only requiring routine maintenance.
Long lasting
The resistance to corrosion means tanks made from FRP have been proven to last longer in the ever-changing environment and are even built to withstand hydraulic pressure.
Easy Installation
FRP tanks and silos are lightweight, so easy to transport, come completely assembled, and only require the external connection of pipework and some electrical connections.
- What is the lifespan of a FRP tank or silo?
CSG Composites tanks and silos will last for 50 years. This is because of the quality of the materials used, the expertise of our engineering design and the anti-corrosive nature of FRP composite materials used.
- What industries do you work with?
We have worked with a wide range of industries, including water and sewerage, mining, agriculture, civil contractors, food and beverage, energy and renewables and many more.
- What services do you offer?
Our knowledge and expertise in FRP’s means our team can offer a range of services. We can design and consult, provide engineering services, full manufacture of our tank and silo, complete installation services, and offer after sales services and support to all our customers.
- Can you customise tanks to specific requirements?
Absolutely! Our tanks are custom designed, engineered, and manufactured to individual requirements. Variances within our design process provide customers the ability to specify their needs, the tank shape they desire and its size, which are all taken into consideration during the engineering and design phase. Our engineers can work with you to meet any tank requirement, tailored to suit the needs of your industry, and meet any regulatory requirements.
