About Project
The project involved the design coordination, importation, installation, and commissioning of a GRP sectional water tank system for a high-rise condominium development in Metro Manila.
The client required a reliable water-storage solution that could meet the domestic and utility demands of the residential building while fitting within the structural and space limitations of the designated service area. A modular GRP tank system was selected because of its durability, corrosion resistance, lighter installation characteristics, and flexibility for assembly in constrained building environments.
Solcrest provided the complete implementation package—from tank sizing and installation planning to import coordination, site assembly, connection works, testing, and final turnover. The completed installation now serves as an integral component of the building’s water-storage and distribution system.
- Tank Type: GRP Sectional Panel Water Tank
- Tank Capacity: Approximately 180 m³
- Approximate Tank Dimensions: 15.0 m × 3.0 m × 4.0 m
- Panel Material: Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP)
- Panel Configuration: Modular sectional panels with internal bracing
- Installation Location: Upper service deck / roof-deck utility area
- Water Service: Domestic and utility-water storage
- Accessories Included: Access provisions, manhole, overflow, drain, vent, inlet and outlet connections, level fittings, and internal bracing components
- Connection Type: Flanged and threaded interconnections to the building water system
- Testing Performed: Leak test, fill test, level verification, and commissioning checks
Our Client’s Challenge
The condominium project required a water-storage system that could provide sufficient reserve capacity while complying with the limitations of a high-rise building installation.
The project involved several practical and technical challenges:
- Limited access to the installation area due to building construction constraints
- Need for a modular tank system suitable for transport and on-site assembly
- Requirement for a structurally coordinated support system
- Need to integrate the tank with the building’s domestic and utility-water piping
- Requirement for a corrosion-resistant and low-maintenance storage solution
- Need to coordinate imported tank components with local civil and mechanical works
- Requirement for proper sealing, alignment, and leak-free installation
- Need to complete testing and commissioning before building turnover
The client therefore required a contractor capable of handling the project from design coordination through final commissioning.
Our Approach And Solution
Solcrest reviewed the storage requirement, installation location, available footprint, access conditions, and service application before finalizing the proposed tank configuration.
A GRP sectional panel tank was selected as the most suitable solution for the project because it allowed modular delivery and assembly while maintaining the required storage capacity and durability. Solcrest coordinated the imported tank components with the local structural supports, civil provisions, and piping interfaces to ensure an efficient installation sequence.
The project scope covered:
- Review of required storage capacity and service application
- Verification of the installation area and dimensional constraints
- Design coordination for tank size, panel arrangement, and support requirements
- Importation coordination for GRP panels, bracing members, and accessories
- Review of the structural support and pedestal layout
- Delivery planning and handling coordination for site access
- Assembly of modular GRP sectional panels on site
- Installation of structural members, tie rods, and internal bracing
- Installation of sealing gaskets, fasteners, and jointing components
- Installation of inlet, outlet, overflow, drain, and vent connections
- Integration of the tank with the building’s water-system piping
- Alignment and leveling of the tank installation
- Inspection of support points and overall structural arrangement
- Initial water-fill testing and leak inspection
- Verification of operating level and connection integrity
- Final testing, commissioning, and turnover
Throughout the installation, careful attention was given to panel alignment, tightening sequence, gasket integrity, and support stability to ensure the long-term performance of the tank system.
Project Outcome
The GRP sectional water tank system was successfully installed, tested, and commissioned within the approved project schedule.
The completed installation provided the condominium development with a dependable and space-efficient water-storage system suitable for long-term domestic and utility service. The modular GRP configuration also allowed efficient delivery and assembly within the constrained building environment, while maintaining a clean and professional final installation.
Following water-fill testing and commissioning checks, the tank was integrated into the building’s water distribution system and prepared for operational use. The project demonstrated Solcrest’s capability to deliver complete water-storage solutions for residential and commercial developments, covering design coordination, importation, installation, testing, and commissioning.
