Each tank is made to order in our Dammam Third Industrial City factory and leaves on its own GRP saddles, ready to set down on a level base.
- 25-year warranty
- GRP saddles fitted at the factory
- Diameters 1.20 to 3.50 m
- Delivery to every region
We reply within one working hour, Saturday to Thursday.
A tank that leaves the factory on its own saddles
A large tank above ground needs supports that will not corrode. We laminate the saddles in GRP and bond them to the shell in the factory, so there is no steel frame underneath to rust over the years.
The white wall is opaque, so light cannot reach the water and algae cannot grow, and the smooth inner surface is easy to clean.
- Five to seven moulded GRP saddles along the shell
- Two top manholes for access and cleaning
- Bottom outlet for draining
- Inlets, outlets and vents at the sizes and positions you specify

Your site sets the diameter, the capacity sets the length
We build horizontal tanks on seven fixed diameters and extend the shell until it reaches the capacity. A narrow site takes a smaller diameter and a longer tank; a short site takes a larger diameter.
The ranges below come from our size chart, and anything in between is made to order. Diameters up to 2.40 m travel on a standard truck; 3.00 m and 3.50 m are oversize loads, and we plan the route with you.
| Diameter | Capacity range | Approx. length |
|---|---|---|
| 1.20 m | 3,000 to 5,000 L | 2.60 to 4.50 m |
| 1.50 m | 5,000 to 12,000 L | 2.90 to 6.70 m |
| 1.80 m | 8,000 to 18,000 L | 3.00 to 7.20 m |
| 2.00 m | 10,000 to 25,000 L | 3.30 to 8.00 m |
| 2.40 m | 15,000 to 30,000 L | 3.40 to 6.50 m |
| 3.00 m | 30,000 to 60,000 L | 4.50 to 8.80 m |
| 3.50 m | 50,000 to 100,000 L | 4.30 to 10.50 m |
A level base and nothing on top
Our installation guide requires a level, even base under every saddle, such as a flat concrete slab, and nothing stored on the tank.
On heat: a tank above ground sits in the sun, so its water runs warmer in summer than water from a buried tank. If cool water matters most, choose a buried tank or place the above-ground tank in shade.
Who does what, and lead time
Common sizes are in stock; other sizes take about a week, depending on the order.
The factory guarantees the tank for 25 years from the invoice date against manufacturing defects, provided the installation guide is followed.
- Laura builds the tank, delivers it, places it by crane as a paid service on request, and sends the installation guide with the quote.
- You or your contractor provide the level base and clear access for the truck and crane to the tank position.
Frequently asked questions
Will the water get hot in summer?
Any tank above ground takes more sun than a buried one. The opaque wall keeps light out, but the coolest water comes from a buried tank or an above-ground tank in shade.
Can algae grow in a GRP tank?
Algae need light. Our tank wall is opaque and the manholes have GRP lids. We recommend cleaning through the manhole every six months.
What base does the tank need?
A level, even surface that carries every saddle, such as a flat concrete slab. Do not set the tank on sloping or uneven ground.
Can I store things on top of the tank?
No. The installation guide forbids storing anything on the tank, and breaking the installation conditions voids the warranty.
How does a large tank reach my site?
Large tanks travel on low-bed trailers, one or two per trip, and we place them by crane on request. Delivery and placement are priced in the quote, or you can collect from the factory.
How soon can I get it?
Common sizes are in stock; other sizes take about a week, depending on the order.
