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 fuel prices are unpredictable, reliable underground storage stands the test of time.

Composite bonded underground tanks are commonly used in fuel station environments where long-term durability, corrosion protection and safe fuel storage are critical.

Forgeweld Composite Bonded Steel Tanks are manufactured to meet and exceed key requirements of leading standards, including UL 1746 Part II and SANS 1535.

Each tank is built using steel that conforms to SABS 1531 Grade 355JR, with a 2.5mm FRP coating applied to the external surface. The finished cladding is quality checked using a 35 000-volt holiday test over 100% of the tank surface.

For petroleum retailers and forecourt developers, the right underground tank supports safer operations, reliable storage and long-term site confidence.

On World Metrology Day, we recognise the role measurement plays in quality, safety and informed decision-making.

In fuel storage, precision matters — from material selection and fabrication to testing, certification and long-term performance.

Forgeweld’s tank solutions are manufactured with a focus on reliability, durability and compliance, supported by recognised standards and certifications.

Our products are manufactured in line with key local and international requirements, including:

🔵 SANS 10131 & SANS 1535 certification
🔵 UL-tested Fireguard™ technology
🔵 Manufacturing aligned to European CEN standards
🔵 The only fuel tank manufacturing member of the STI in South Africa

Because better measurement supports better products, safer storage and greater operational confidence.

What does SANS 10131 compliance mean when choosing an aboveground fuel storage tank?

It means the tank is manufactured with safety, durability and responsible storage in mind.

Forgeweld aboveground tanks, manufactured to SANS 10131, are built with key quality checks such as corrosion protection, leak testing and build-integrity inspections before leaving the factory.

For sites that rely on fuel every day, compliance supports more than regulation. It supports safer storage, longer tank life and greater operational confidence.

A leaking tank is not just a maintenance issue. It can become an environmental issue.

For farms, safe fuel storage helps protect soil, water, crops and the food and agro-ecosystems that rely on them.

Forgeweld’s Bulk to Farmer tanks are built for long-term durability, with strong MIG-welded lap joints and a tough, heat-reflective silver paint finish designed to withstand harsh conditions with minimal upkeep.

Generations of farmers have relied on the workmanship behind these SANS 10131-compliant tanks, built to keep going season after season.

Storing fire-risk liquids on site?

For petroleum, diesel and other fire-hazard liquids, the right aboveground tank should be determined by the product, site layout, storage volume and level of protection required.

Forgeweld Fireguard™ Tanks offer a fire-rated, self-bunded and double-walled storage solution designed for safer aboveground storage.

Key features include UL 2085 testing, Fire-resistant and Protected Type listing, emergency vents, leak-detection capability, hose-stream resistance, impact protection and chemical compatibility.

SANS 10131:2004 allows the use and installation of Fireguard™ Tanks in South Africa. Forgeweld is a licensed manufacturer of Fireguard™ and the only fuel-storage manufacturer in South Africa that is a member of the STI.
