Sectors We Serve
Tricel Water manufactures GRP sectional cold water storage tanks for new-build and refurbishment projects throughout the UK and Ireland. All tanks carry KIWA Reg 4 approval and LPCB accreditation, and are manufactured to BS EN 13280. Our engineers work directly with contractors, M&E consultants and estates managers to specify the right tank — from a single cold water storage unit in a plant room to a twin-compartment combined fire and domestic system on a large-scale site.

Working with us
How a project works
Most projects follow three stages. Our engineers are available throughout — from initial sizing through to site commissioning.
01
Enquire and specify
Contact our sales team with your site details and water demand requirements. We advise on the correct tank type, configuration and capacity, and provide drawings and technical specifications for approval or tender.
02
UK manufacture
Tanks are manufactured at our UK facilities in GRP panel sections and palletised for delivery. Standard and bespoke configurations are available, with capacities from 45 litres to over 4 million litres.
03
Site installation
Our experienced site crews deliver, assemble and commission the tank to your programme. GRP panels pass through standard doorways and access hatches, making installation practical in restricted plant rooms and roof voids.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply only, or supply and install?
We offer both. Our own site crews carry out installation across the UK and Ireland. If you have a preferred installer or M&E contractor already on site, we can supply the tank palletised with full assembly documentation and technical support.
What tank sizes and capacities are available?
One-piece tanks range from 45 to 16,000 litres. Sectional tanks cover 1,000 litres to over 4 million litres. Bespoke configurations are available where standard dimensions do not suit the site. Our online sizing calculator provides a capacity estimate based on building type and occupancy.
Can sectional tanks be installed in restricted plant rooms?
Yes. GRP sectional panels are sized to pass through standard doorways and access hatches and are assembled on site. This makes them suitable for basement plant rooms, roof voids and other confined locations where a one-piece tank cannot be manoeuvred into position.
How do I work out the correct tank size for my building?
Sizing is based on daily water demand, occupancy type and any fire reserve requirement. Our free water tank size calculator gives a capacity estimate by building type. For complex or multi-use sites, our engineers can carry out a full specification review.
Do you offer CPD training for consultants and specifiers?
Yes. We run CPD-accredited courses covering cold water storage tank design, compliance and specification, available to M&E consultants, estates managers and contractors. Register on our CPD page.
