Center Enamel Provides Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tank for Panama Fire Water Storage Project
In October 2024, Center Enamel successfully completed the design, fabrication, and installation of a Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tank for a critical fire water storage project in Panama. This project demonstrates our continued commitment to providing high-quality, reliable, and durable storage solutions for safety-critical applications like fire water storage.
Project Overview
Application: Fire Water Storage
Project Location: Panama
Tank Size: φ6.88m x 7.2m (H)
Tank Cover: Aluminum Dome Cover
Total Tank Volume: 268m³
Completion Time: October 2024

Fire-Water Storage with Glass-Fused-to-Steel Technology
Fire water storage is essential for ensuring that sufficient water is available for firefighting in case of emergencies. Center Enamel’s Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are specifically designed to meet the rigorous requirements for fire water storage, offering superior strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance. The fusion of glass and steel creates a durable and non-porous surface, providing excellent protection against the elements and ensuring that the stored water remains in optimal condition.
Aluminum Dome Cover for Enhanced Protection
For this project, the tank was equipped with an aluminum dome cover. This cover not only protects the water from external contaminants, such as debris and weather elements, but also extends the lifespan of the tank. Aluminum’s corrosion-resistant properties, combined with the sturdy structure of the dome, ensure that the water storage system remains reliable and secure for years to come.
Key Features of the Project
Reliable Fire Water Storage: With a total capacity of 268m³, the tank provides ample water storage to meet the fire safety requirements of the facility in Panama.
Durability and Safety: The Glass-Fused-to-Steel construction ensures a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution that meets stringent safety standards. The tank is designed in strict accordance with international standards such as AWWA D103-09 and NFPA, ensuring that it provides dependable performance in emergency situations.
Efficient Use of Space: The compact design of the tank, with a height of 7.2 meters, maximizes storage capacity without requiring a large footprint, making it an ideal solution for facilities with limited space.
