Glass Fused Steel Tanks

A durable, corrosion-resistant storage solution that combines the strength of steel with a fused glass coating for long-term performance.

Speak with Our Tank Experts

Our team will help you select a glass fused steel tank that meets your site requirements and storage needs. We have 30+ years’ experience servicing the mining and industrial sectors across Australia.

OVERVIEW

Ultimate Corrosion Resistance

Glass fused steel tanks provide exceptional corrosion resistance due to the glass coating being chemically inert and permanently bonded to the steel surface.

This creates a highly durable barrier that protects against rust, chemical attack, and environmental exposure.

Unlike conventional coatings, the fused glass layer does not peel, helping maintain long-term structural integrity and significantly extending the tank’s service life (40+ years).

Key Features & System Advantages

Full Edge Coating: Our edge-coat technology ensures complete glass encapsulation across all four panel edges.
Interior Protection: The tank’s interior is further enhanced with a specialised coating incorporating titanium dioxide (TiO₂).
Large Capacities: Ranging from 10kL to 20ML to suit high-volume storage across mining operations and industrial plants.
No Working at Heights: Our glass fused steel tanks are erected using a tank jack system that removes the need for working at heights.
AS Compliant: Designed to meet relevant Australian Standards for potable water, fire protection, wind loads, and more.
Hygienic Surface: The non-porous glass coating prevents the absorption of contaminants and limits microbial growth.
