SMC Pumping Station Overhead Water Tanks are engineered solutions designed to meet the increasing demand for safe, efficient, and durable water storage across a wide range of applications—from urban high-rise buildings to municipal pump stations and industrial plants.
SMC stands for Sheet Molding Compound, a type of fiberglass-reinforced composite material made by combining unsaturated polyester resin, chopped glass fiber, and mineral fillers. SMC overhead water tanks are modular, panel-type tanks designed to be installed at height, often supported by structural frameworks or rooftops. They are ideal for water pumping stations due to their strength-to-weight ratio and ease of assembly.
Unlike traditional steel tanks, SMC tanks are corrosion-resistant, making them suitable for coastal, chemical, or humid environments. They also perform reliably under UV exposure and temperature extremes.
SMC panels are lightweight and can be assembled on-site, reducing logistics and crane requirements. This feature is especially beneficial for overhead applications on rooftops or elevated platforms.
Thanks to fiberglass reinforcement, SMC tanks offer excellent mechanical strength and impact resistance. They can sustain internal pressures of up to 1.0 MPa (or higher with reinforced designs), making them ideal for pressurized water systems in pumping stations.
SMC tanks are manufactured using food-grade, non-toxic resin. The smooth, non-porous interior surface inhibits bacterial growth and is easy to clean, ensuring safe storage of drinking water.
With a typical service life of 25–30 years, SMC tanks require minimal maintenance. No painting or anti-corrosion treatment is necessary over time, reducing lifecycle costs.
Used in municipal infrastructure to store water before distribution. Their elevated positioning improves gravity-fed distribution.
Ensures sufficient water pressure for upper floors by storing water at rooftop level.
Ideal for process water, fire-fighting reserves, and HVAC cooling towers.
SMC tanks serve as reliable overhead reservoirs for irrigation, livestock water supply, and remote farm locations.
Yes. Tanks are built from modular panels and can be customized in volume and shape.
They are not recommended for continuous storage of liquids above 70°C or aggressive chemicals without internal lining. Consult the supplier for special resin options.
Annual cleaning and occasional inspection of joints and supports are generally sufficient.
Panels are bolted together on-site with rubber gaskets to ensure leakproof assembly. They are usually mounted on a steel base or concrete platform.
SMC Pumping Station Overhead Water Tanks combine durability, hygiene, and structural efficiency in one innovative solution. Whether for municipal pumping stations, urban high-rises, or industrial facilities, these composite tanks offer outstanding value in terms of performance and longevity. With modular customization, easy transport, and low lifecycle costs, they are fast becoming the standard for modern water storage systems.
