GRP fire-water storage tanks for licensed fire contractors in Saudi Arabia
We build the storage vessel to the capacity, connections and compartments in your design. The system design, pumps and inspection stay with the licensed contractor.
- Built to the contractor's drawing
- One or two compartments
- Drawing with the quote
- Delivery to every region
We reply within one working hour, Saturday to Thursday.
We build the tank; the contractor owns the design
What we supply is a water storage vessel. It connects to pumps and a network that a licensed fire contractor designs and is responsible for, so we work from that contractor's drawing: the capacity calculated, the connection positions and the number of compartments.
- Laura: builds the tank to the required usable volume with connections in place, sends a drawing with the quote, and delivers and crane-places on request.
- The contractor: network design and capacity calculation, pumps, installation, the authority's inspection and the installation completion certificate.

Who is required to have a fire-water tank
Fire-safety regulations name specific cases. Storage warehouses must provide one or more water tanks with pumps that feed the hydrants, hose reels and automatic sprinklers at the required flow and pressure.
Fuel stations must secure fire water from the city network or from a private tank on site of at least 30,000 gallons, served by a 500 gpm self-priming fire pump, with the tank sized to the station.
In other cases the system designer sets the need and the volume. The designer always calculates the final capacity; we build to it.
Connections built to the drawing
These are the fittings fire contractors most often specify. We place each one at the position and size the drawing gives:
- Pump suction at the required size and height, with provision for an anti-vortex plate where the design calls for one
- Fill connection for one or two float valves
- Overflow above the highest float setpoint
- Drain, vent and manway
- Nozzles for level switches or a level sensor
Usable volume, and two compartments for maintenance
The designer calculates the volume that must remain available to the pump, which is less than the tank's total: some water stays below the suction and some freeboard stays above the surface. Give us the usable volume from the design and tell us whether it includes that allowance.
Many designers ask for two compartments, or two tanks, so one can be drained for maintenance while the reserve stays in the other. We build single or two-compartment tanks to the design.
Frequently asked questions
Do you handle the fire-safety approvals and inspection?
No. We build the storage vessel only. System design, installation, inspection and the completion certificate are the responsibility of the fire contractor registered on the Salamah platform.
Will the designer accept a GRP fire-water tank?
That is for the designer and the authority to decide. We build to the specification the designer writes and do not claim conformity with any standard.
What do you need from us to quote?
The usable volume from the fire design in litres or gallons, the number of compartments, the nozzle schedule if you have one, and the project city. If the tank also holds domestic water, give us the fire reserve volume.
Can one tank hold domestic water and the fire reserve?
Some designs do this, protecting the fire reserve by placing the domestic outlet above it. We set the outlets at the heights the drawing specifies.
Buried or above ground?
Either. Above ground on GRP saddles, or buried to our burial guide. State which in your request, with any dimensional limits.
When will the tank arrive?
Common sizes are in stock; other sizes take about a week, depending on the order. Tell us the expected inspection date so we can plan delivery with you.
