3. INTRODUCTION
PIPECO wasformed in 1984 as an engineering hardware
company and ventLrres into sectional panel water tank
business in 1989.To date, PIPECO has 20 yea rs' experie nce in
Production Facilities
the business that can provide water storage solution for a
variety of applications ranging from I m3 to 5000m3. PIPECO is
now one of the largest sectiona tank suppliers in world,
supplying both pressed steel and GRP/ FRP sectional water
tanks to /4alaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, l,4yanmat Brunei,
U.A.E, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, lraq, Oman, Lebanon,
Jordan, Algeria, Sudan, France, Begium, Tahiti, Australia,

By encapsulating a 25mm - 50mm layer of rigid polyurethane foam, PIPECO pre-insulated
panel could maintain the desired water temperature stored inside the tank under extreme
temperature condition. PIPECO pre insulated panel could be selected for water storage where
there i5 a need to stabilize the temperature against extreme heat or freezing conditions so to
prevent dew formation.
