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!

Fire season readiness starts before the first flame. Is your fuel storage ready?

In dry-season regions prone to fire, aboveground fuel storage needs more than capacity. It needs protection, containment and tested performance.

Forgeweld Fireguard™ tanks offer fire-protected, double-wall aboveground storage designed to support safer fuel storage where site fire risk matters.

Fireguard™ tanks are:

🔴 Tested by Underwriters Laboratories in accordance with UL 2085.
🔴 Designed with double-wall secondary containment.
🔴 Built with thermal insulation that exceeds the UL two-hour fire test.
🔴 Available with interstitial leak-monitoring capability.
🔴 Listed as Fire-resistant Type and Protected Type insulated secondary-containment aboveground storage tanks.
🔴 Accepted for use and installation in South Africa under SANS 10131:2004.

For farms, mines, depots, construction sites, logistics yards, generator installations, remote operations and industrial facilities near dry grassland or veld, the right tank can help reduce risk before fire season tests your site.

We’re the only STI Licensed Shop-Fabricated Tank member in South Africa, supporting our commitment to quality, accountability and responsible steel tank manufacturing.

And because your site doesn’t rely on the tank alone, Forgeweld works with trusted local and globally recognised and certified suppliers to bring you reliable, quality storage solutions.

Coastal and near-water fuel sites leave no room for weak links.

For sites near water, the piping system of your fuel-transfer setup is part of your risk management. Moisture, exposure and corrosion risk need to be carefully managed, especially where environmental protection is part of the job.

A NUPI SMARTFLEX™ installation at a marina service station in Cyprus shows why this matters in near-water environments.

For this installation, SMARTFLEX™ was used as part of the fuel-transfer system. The multilayer HDPE piping system is designed for the transfer of automotive fuels, aviation fuels, biofuels and hazardous fluids, with benefits including:

🟢 Resistance to corrosion and chemicals.
🟢 Integrity of joints.
🟢 Non-metallic construction.
🟢 Secure electrofusion connections.
🟢 Leak-monitoring options for added protection.

For coastal sites, harbours, marinas, fuel retailers, industrial facilities and backup power installations, the right piping system can support safer transfer, long-term reliability and better protection of the surrounding environment.

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.
