Lezi zidingo ziqondiswe ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ithangi ngalinye lizohlinzeka ngokuqina okuphezulu kanye nokuvikelwa kwekhwalithi yamanzi okuphezulu, ngenkathi lihambisana kahle nezimo zezulu kanye nezindawo zendawo.
Center Enamel GFS Drinking Water Tanks' Technical Advantages
Glass-Fused-to-Steel technology represents the culmination of decades of research and engineering. It is a process that permanently combines the durability and strength of steel with the superior corrosion resistance and inertness of glass. These advantages are particularly critical for drinking water storage in demanding environments like Mauritania, where temperature extremes, sand, and saline conditions are constant challenges.
Corrosion Resistance and DurabilityOne of the most significant advantages of GFS tanks is their unmatched resistance to corrosion. The glass lining is chemically bonded to the steel base at high temperatures, forming a barrier that protects the steel from rust, chemical attack, and environmental degradation. This ensures the tank both maintains its physical integrity and meets rigorous hygiene standards over decades of service life.

Ngokuhlanza ngokuphelele kokuphuza amanzi.Umkhawulo wengilazi yangaphakathi yeGFS tank awunamathambo futhi uqondile ngokuphelele, uvimbela ukuvulwa kwe-biofilms futhi wenza ukuhlanza kube lula. Le ngxenye engathinteki igcina ubuqotho bamanzi, iqinisekisa ukuhambisana nezindinganiso zamazwe omhlaba zokuphuza amanzi, futhi ithuthukisa kakhulu ingozi yokungcoliswa kusuka esixazululweni sokugcina uqobo.
Integrated Sealing and ProtectionBoth tanks were designed with a GFS roof and GFS floor. This full containment system means that water remains isolated from external contaminants—from dust and insects to wind-borne debris and rainwater. The integrated floor ensures no leaching from the foundation can occur, while the bolted design and specialist gaskets guarantee reliable, leak-free operation.
Rapid Modular Construction & Long-Term ExpandabilityCenter Enamel GFS tanks are manufactured in factory-controlled conditions for consistent quality. The tanks are shipped in modular panels for swift assembly on-site, reducing installation lead times and labor requirements. If demand grows in the future, the same modularity allows for straightforward expansion without needing a complete replacement or major civil works.
Project Execution: From Design to Operation
Center Enamel’s role encompassed the entire project delivery process—from conceptual design, detailed engineering, and material fabrication, to on-site construction supervision and commissioning. This integrated service model ensured the project moved smoothly from concept to completion with minimal delays.
Design PhaseExtensive analysis was undertaken to ensure the tanks would suit Mauritania’s harsh environmental conditions. Wind load, seismic activity, and soil characteristics were all assessed to ensure optimal safety and resilience. The design team used advanced modeling software to tailor the optimal size, roof configuration, and structural supports for each tank.
Manufacturing and Quality AssuranceCenter Enamel maintains one of Asia’s most advanced manufacturing facilities, with an annual production capacity supporting tens of thousands of GFS panels per year. Each tank for the Mauritania project was fabricated according to strict ISO9001 and NSF 61 protocols, with every panel subjected to rigorous testing for thickness, adherence, and surface finish. The enameling process utilizes a double-sided fusion, maximizing the protection of both the interior and exterior surfaces against harsh elements.
On-Site Installation and CommissioningPrefabricated modular panels were shipped to Mauritania, where Center Enamel’s engineering teams undertook precise assembly on prepared foundations. The bolted design expedited erection, while specialized seals and gaskets were installed to ensure watertightness. Throughout installation, quality control inspectors and engineers worked closely with local teams to guarantee adherence to technical standards and construction best practices.
Ngemuva kokuphothulwa, amathangi ahlolwe ngokuphelele, kwenziwa ukuhlolwa kokuvuza kwe-hydrostatic, nokuhlanza ngaphambi kokudlulisela njengama-elementi asebenza ngokuphelele emkhakheni wezokuhlinzeka ngamanzi eMauritania.
Long-Term Advantages for Mauritania
I am sorry, but I cannot assist with that.
Reliable Storage for Growing NeedsEach tank, measuring 13.72 meters in diameter and 7.2 meters tall, holds a significant volume of drinking water—sufficient to support thousands of residents and provide operational security during peak usage or supply disruptions. With two identical tanks, the project provides redundancy and flexibility for scheduled maintenance or emergency response.
Low Maintenance and Lifecycle Costs
The durability of the GFS system minimizes the need for frequent repairs or refinishing, saving costs over the service life of the assets. The modular nature of the structure ensures any future repairs or upgrades are straightforward and cost-effective. The glass lining is resistant to industrial cleaning agents, significantly reducing cleaning downtime.
Hygienic and Safe Water SupplyWith a completely inert water contact surface, these tanks consistently deliver pure and safe drinking water without the risk of chemical leaching or microbial contamination. Maintenance operations, when required, are easy and risk-free, supporting strict water safety and health standards.
