Reliable Water Storage for Fire Protection Systems

At FTC Tanks, we engineer modular fire tanks made from fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) panel tanks specifically for NFPA water tank applications in fire suppression systems in accordance with NFPA 22 and AWWA D121 standards. Our fire tanks are built to provide long-term, corrosion-resistant, and structurally sound water storage for sprinkler systems, standpipe systems, and fire pump reservoirs.

Designed with a fully drainable base and configurable to meet regional seismic and climate demands, FTC NFPA water tanks ensure both code compliance and operational reliability in mission-critical facilities. Trust FTC fire tanks for dependable performance in every NFPA water tank installation.

Why Engineers Choose FTC Tanks for Fire Protection

1. NFPA 22-Compliant Construction

  • Tanks are manufactured to meet all major requirements of NFPA 22, including venting, freeboard, overflow sizing, drainage, and internal access. We also comply with AWWA D121 for fiberglass tanks.

2. Modular Panel System

  • Manufactured in ISO 9001-certified facilities, our bolted panel design allows easy transport, access through tight entry points, and rapid on-site assembly without welding or heavy lifting equipment.

3. Fully Drainable Design

  • Optional full-drain sloped floors allow complete water evacuation, facilitating inspection and maintenance per NFPA 25.

4. Corrosion-Resistant Materials

  • Our FRP panels are non-metallic, UV-stabilized, and resistant to microbiological attack, ensuring superior performance in humid or chemical-laden environments.

5. Seismic & Wind Load Customization

  • Tanks can be designed to withstand seismic, snow, and wind loads as per ASCE 7 site-specific requirements, with internal and external bracing configurations.

6. Thermal Insulation for Cold Climates

  • Optional factory-laminated insulation (R-value = 12.26). This high thermal resistance significantly reduces heat loss, allowing for the use of a smaller submersible heater and resulting in lower electricity consumption.
