Augusta Fiberglass engineers and manufactures FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) Tanks in a wide range of shapes, sizes and configurations. While the majority of these tanks are cylindrical, AFC can supply rectangular or other custom shapes to meet the exacting demands of our customers.
As a custom fabricator, AFC can manufacture tanks to any specification quickly and economically. Tanks are built to meet industry standards such as ASTM D3299 for filament wound tanks and ASTM D4097 for contact molded tanks. As one of a select few ASME RTP-1 certified manufacturers, when a globally recognized code stamped tank is required, Augusta Fiberglass can supply vessels for pressure conditions from full vacuum to 15 psig.
At AFC, we can fabricate and deliver FRP tanks of any diameter. AFC routinely shop fabricates large diameter tank components in sections sized for shipment to the job site. Our highly qualified field crews are then dispatched and can quickly assemble the components to form the completed tank. Other options include shop-fabricating tanks for transport by barge to water-accessible job sites or transporting one or more of our mobile filament winders to the job site and fabricating the complete tank on-site. Currently we have completed tanks as large as 119 ft. in diameter in the field.
Augusta Fiberglass also manufactures our patented portable FRP storage tanks which are made up of shop-fabricated contact molded, flanged sections. All flanged sections are pre-assembled in the shop to insure proper fit prior to shipping. The tanks are then disassembled and shipped to the job site. Once on site, the tanks are re-assembled, and all bolted flanged joints are fiberglass welded to form an integral tank.
To complement our tank portfolio, we offer industrial grade polyethylene day and storage tanks to complete your storage needs. Like our FRP tanks, these tanks are engineered to your exact specifications.
Augusta Fiberglass can provide custom-made fittings for all tanks. Flanged nozzles, threaded couplings, access and view ports, heat panel systems, level gauges, internal baffles, agitator supports, ladders, platforms and handrail systems, are among the accessories that we offer.
