Roofs and Covers

APRO Industrie is the ideal partner for your tank cover needs, whether for new or existing structures, made from steel or concrete. Our covers are engineered to withstand extreme conditions, including snow, wind, seismic activity, and the effects of gaseous skies that can form in tanks.

Aluminium Covers

Our aluminium covers can be used to protect a variety of structures, including circular tanks, rectangular basins and buildings. Available in conical, flat or geodesic dome shapes, our lightweight, reliable aluminium covers have been tried and tested in extreme conditions for many years.

Galvanised Steel Covers

Galvanised steel covers are simple, low cost and durable. They are currently used on most standard tanks for applications such as storing fire protection water and rainwater.

Conical cover with external beams

Our conical covers with external beams made of epoxy or glass-fused-to-steel consist of galvanised steel beams to which stainless steel, epoxy-coated or glass-fused-to-steel panels are attached. These solutions offer optimal compatibility and performance for covering anaerobic digestion tanks, tanks containing products exposed to external contaminants or those with highly aggressive gas atmospheres.

Fibreglass Covers

Our glass-reinforced plastic/fibreglass composite covers are lightweight yet robust, and are self-supporting. They are resistant to corrosive and aggressive environments and gases. We offer conical, flat, or double-pitch roofs for tanks ranging from 2 to 22 meters in diameter.

Why choose APRO Industrie for your roofs and covers?

Our experience and engineering capabilities enable us to conduct personalized studies tailored to your needs, selecting the optimal materials to ensure the best possible outcome for your roofing solution.

FAQs – Roofs and Covers

Discover the most frequently asked questions about our roofs and covers below.

Why do tanks need a cover?

Tank covers and roofs are essential for protecting the liquid inside from external elements such as leaves, debris, and pollution. They also prevent photosynthesis and algae growth, limit evaporation (reducing product loss and gas emissions), and improve safety on-site by preventing infiltration and mitigating risks associated with UV exposure or extreme weather conditions.

What material is used for the cover?

Tank covers and roofs can be manufactured using a range of materials, depending on the environment and the liquid being stored. Aluminium is often the preferred material due to its lightness, durability, and corrosion resistance. Galvanized or stainless steel is used in more demanding environments where higher durability is required.

Are all covers suitable for use in corrosive environments?

Not all covers are suitable for corrosive environments. It is essential to choose the right material to ensure durability and efficiency. Aluminium and stainless steel are highly recommended due to their excellent corrosion resistance. Composite material covers also perform well in harsh conditions. At APRO Industrie, we are committed to helping you find the most suitable liquid storage and cover solutions.
