GFS Water Tanks for Product Water and Rain Water Storage in Utheemu
This project features GFS water tanks supplied for a water treatment project in Utheemu, Maldives. The project required modular water storage tanks for product water and rain water storage, with on-site assembly completed by the local installation team under remote technical guidance from the factory.
The Maldives project covers eight islands in total, with 19 GFS tanks planned. The first phase includes four islands and 11 GFS tanks. This case highlights the successful installation and commissioning of GFS modular tanks for the project.

Project Background
At the beginning of the project, the client considered using epoxy tanks due to cost concerns. After price comparisons, technical evaluation and commercial negotiations, the client finally selected GFS tanks as the water storage solution.
For island water treatment projects, tank performance, corrosion resistance, installation flexibility and long-term maintenance cost are important factors. GFS tanks offer a modular structure, factory-controlled panel quality and good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for water storage projects in island environments.
Wansheng Solution
As this was the client’s first purchase of cylindrical GFS modular tanks, they paid close attention to the installation process and water-filling test. The client originally considered arranging a professional supervisor for on-site installation support.
After evaluating the project cost and schedule, the client decided to complete the installation with their local team. Wansheng provided remote technical guidance from the factory to support the assembly, inspection and commissioning process.
The tank design parameters were finalized through close communication with the client, taking into account the local wind speed, geographical conditions and project application requirements.
Project Highlights
This project demonstrates Wansheng’s ability to support overseas water treatment projects with customized GFS water tank solutions and remote technical service.
Key highlights include:
GFS tanks used for product water and rain water storage
Project covering multiple islands in the Maldives
First phase including 11 GFS tanks across four islands
Modular tank structure suitable for island project logistics
Tank design adjusted according to local wind speed and site conditions
Local installation completed with remote factory guidance
Successful installation and commissioning completed on schedule
Application Value
With the support of an experienced local installation team and Wansheng’s remote technical guidance, the client successfully completed the installation and commissioning process as scheduled.
The project received full approval and recognition from the end user, showing that GFS modular tanks can be a reliable solution for water treatment and water storage projects in island regions.
For projects where transportation, installation cost and site conditions must be carefully controlled, GFS tanks provide a practical balance between structural reliability, corrosion resistance and installation flexibility.
