Safety for people and the environment:
---------------------------------------------------
Decades ago Forgeweld recognised the need to manufacture a product that would offer the best and safest possible system for the prevention of leakages into the soil. Fuel leakage from conventional storage tanks is typically caused largely by the corrosion of the tank wall, often as a result of substandard coatings being applied to it. Forgeweld is determined to keep abreast of the latest trends and developments and continues to seek ways to contribute to renewables technology. We aim to supply our customers with the safest fuel storage solution and demonstrate that profitability and caring for people and the environment go hand in hand. Forgeweld Engineering proudly represents a beautifully vibrant South Africa. Every positive contribution, no matter how small, adds to the country’s success. Small changes can make a great impact!

When the weather gives you a chance to get into the fields, you want your equipment ready—and enough diesel to keep it working.

If busy periods mean frequent top-ups or extra trips to collect fuel, you’ll know how much time (and money) that takes out of your day.

Is your current storage still enough for the way you farm? If you’re considering additional or replacement capacity, let’s talk about your fuel use and delivery schedule.

Forgeweld’s Bulk To Farmer tanks provide on-farm diesel storage, with MIG-welded lap joints and compliance with SANS 10131.

You wouldn’t buy a truck based on looks alone. There’s more to a fuel tank than meets the eye, too.

Size and finish may catch your attention first. The standards behind its manufacture deserve a closer look.

Forgeweld’s range includes SABS-certified and UL-listed tanks, with options manufactured to European CEN standards. These credentials provide extra reassurance when choosing a tank for your site.

When diesel prices increase, every litre stored at your depot is more valuable. And a fuel leak could cost you far more.

Beyond lost fuel, repairs, clean-up and refuelling disruptions can put pressure on your whole operation. Some sites require secondary containment together with monitoring of the space between two tank walls. Forgeweld’s Double-Walled Steel Tanks are designed for these requirements.

The space between the tank walls is filled with a water-glycol mixture. With a compatible liquid-level monitoring system connected, a sufficient drop in the monitoring fluid level triggers an alarm, alerting your team to investigate a potential leak.

Added containment protection. SANS 1535 compliant. Early warning. Greater confidence in the fuel storage beneath your depot.

Road crews advancing kilometre by kilometre and mining operations moving into new areas mean work doesn't always stay in one place.

Wherever diesel-powered plants are working, getting fuel close enough to keep that equipment productive becomes part of the site's logistics.

Forgeweld's Skid-Mounted tanks facilitate repositioning on site as operational requirements change. Manufactured from hardwearing carbon steel for demanding field conditions, the tanks comply with SANS 10131.

What protects a steel fuel tank once it goes underground?

Soil and moisture can contribute to corrosion over time. Forgeweld Composite Bonded Tanks add a fibreglass-reinforced polyester exterior around the steel tank to help protect it from the surrounding environment.

Before leaving the factory, the exterior is tested across the entire surface to check that the protective layer is continuous.

It's a carefully controlled process designed to support long-term underground fuel storage.

A reliable piping system starts with connections made correctly.

In this practical demonstration, NUPI Americas shows how to install a single-wall SMARTFLEX™ coupler. From selecting the correct tools to preparing and joining the components.

When each step is completed correctly, SMARTFLEX™ electrofusion fittings create secure, corrosion-resistant connections designed for reliable, long-term performance.

Heritage is where we come from, but it’s also what we carry forward.

Since 1963, Forgeweld has been part of South Africa’s manufacturing history. But that legacy lives in the people who bring their skill, knowledge and pride to work every day.

From the factory floor to every project we deliver, our team continues a South African tradition of making, building, solving and improving.

This Heritage Day, we celebrate the people behind Forgeweld—and the different cultures, experiences and skills they bring to our shared story.

Built over generations. Carried forward by our people.
Happy Heritage Day Mzansi!

A tank that does more than contain fuel—it protects it.

Between its inner and outer steel walls is a lightweight insulating material. If the tank is exposed to fire, this insulation helps limit the transfer of heat to the stored fuel.

But the protection doesn’t stop there: The double-wall construction provides secondary containment, the space between the walls can be monitored for leaks, and emergency vents help manage pressure during fire conditions.

Tested and listed to UL 2085, FIREGUARD® is designed to provide protected aboveground storage for flammable and combustible liquids.

For site teams and insurers, this holds more weight beyond capacity requirements when considering how fuel is protected. Learn more: https://www.forgeweld.com/product/fireguard/
