Chemicals can be severely corrosive to above-ground metal storage tanks, resulting in possible leaks. The average corrosion rate of some carbon-steel storage tanks in certain services at ambient temperatures is more than 1 mil per year, with leaks developing in as few as five years. These leaks result in costs for  repair and possible environmental penalties.corrosion sometimes increases when a layer of water containing soluble salts and chlorides settles to the bottom.These compounds are highly corrosive in themselves, and they can generate a strong electrolyte that further promotes corrosion from within. There can be a problem with external tank corrosion as well. The bottoms of above-ground storage tanks are susceptible to corrosion, especially if the tanks are close to salt water or subject to stray electrical currents in the soil.

GRP pipes are made from composite materials consisting of flexible glass fiber-reinforced thermoset resin and silica sand. GRP pipes are preferred for clean water, drinking water, irrigation, hydroelectric power plants, sewage, and industrial applications due to their reliability and long service life.
