Center Enamel Successfully Supplies Glass-Fused-to-Steel Fire Water Tank for Chile Fire Water Project
Fire protection systems are a critical safeguard for industrial facilities, commercial developments, and public infrastructure. In countries like Chile—where diverse climatic conditions, seismic activity, and strict safety requirements must all be considered—fire water storage systems must deliver exceptional reliability, structural integrity, and long-term durability.
Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel), a global leader in bolted storage tank solutions, has successfully completed the Chile Fire Water Project, supplying a high-quality Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) Fire Water Tank. The project was finished in January 2026, with construction completed smoothly and the fire water tank now fully operational, ensuring dependable emergency water supply for fire protection purposes.
This project further demonstrates Center Enamel’s ability to deliver reliable fire water storage solutions tailored to international standards and regional project requirements.
Project Overview: Chile Fire Water Project
Project Background
Chile’s industrial and infrastructure sectors require fire protection systems that can operate reliably under varying environmental conditions, including temperature fluctuations and seismic considerations. Fire water tanks must be designed not only for immediate water availability during emergencies but also for long-term structural stability and minimal maintenance.
For this project, the client required a compact, durable, and corrosion-resistant fire water storage solution that could be installed efficiently while meeting international engineering standards. After careful evaluation, Center Enamel’s Glass-Fused-to-Steel tank technology was selected as the optimal solution.

The fire water tank provides reliable water storage capacity to support firefighting systems, ensuring rapid response and continuous water availability in emergency situations.
Why Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks Are Ideal for Fire Water Storage
Meeting Fire Protection Requirements
Fire water tanks play a vital role in emergency response systems. They must offer:
Immediate and uninterrupted water supply
High structural strength
Excellent corrosion resistance
Long service life with minimal maintenance
Center Enamel’s Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are engineered to meet these critical requirements, making them a preferred choice for fire water projects worldwide.
Glass-Fused-to-Steel Technology: Combining Strength and Durability
Advanced Manufacturing Process
Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are manufactured by fusing a specially formulated glass coating to high-strength steel plates at temperatures exceeding 850°C. This process creates a permanent chemical bond between the glass and steel, forming a composite material that combines the advantages of both materials.
As China’s first manufacturer to independently develop Glass-Fused-to-Steel tank technology, Center Enamel brings decades of experience and nearly 200 patented enameling technologies to every project.
Key Advantages of GFS Fire Water Tanks
1. Superior Corrosion Resistance
The glass coating protects the steel substrate from corrosion, ensuring reliable performance even in environments exposed to moisture and changing weather conditions.
2. Long Service Life
Center Enamel’s GFS tanks are designed for a service life of 30 years or more, offering excellent return on investment and long-term reliability.
3. Structural Stability and Safety
The steel structure provides high mechanical strength, enabling the tank to withstand full water load and external forces, including seismic considerations relevant to Chile.
4. Low Maintenance Requirements
GFS tanks require minimal maintenance compared to conventional concrete or coated steel tanks, reducing operational costs over the life of the system.
5. Fast and Efficient Installation
The modular bolted design allows for rapid on-site assembly, minimizing construction time and disruption.
