PVC Flexible Tanks
The flexible tank is a simple and economical solution for DECI (External Fire Defense) of local authorities or certain industrial sites. However, they require a large floor space and must be equipped according to the regulations in force in the Departmental Regulations (DECI) departments. They are particularly suitable for the DECI of municipalities, hamlets, individual houses, agricultural buildings or equipment storage buildings.
- Cost-effective
- Practical and simple to install
- Adaptable in terms of dimensions and equipment
- Compliant with DECI standards (NFS 62-250)
What is a PVC reinforced flexible tank made of?
The flexible tank is made using a high-frequency welding process to join PVC-coated technical textile strips together. Due to its low water height (maximum 1.6 m), it is self-supporting and does not require heavy civil engineering. It must, however, be laid on flat, horizontal ground without perforating elements, such as a bed of sand. Its volume can range from 5 to 2,000 m3.
Composition and characteristics of PVC
The reinforced PVC used is a technical textile that is made on the basis of a polyester weave and is double-coated with PVC. The polyester frame gives the fabric mechanical strength, while the PVC coating makes the material waterproof and chemically compatible, depending on the treatment and/or composition of the PVC.

FAQs - Flexible PVC Tanks
What are the differences between a flexible tank and a rigid tank?
Although flexible tanks are cost-effective, they require a significant amount of floor space due to their self-supporting structure and low height (maximum 1.6 metres).
While they remain reliable, they are more vulnerable to external damage than rigid tanks.
What capacity can a flexible PVC tank have?
We provide flexible tanks from 5 to 2000 m3.
Can PVC flexible tanks be used to store chemicals?
The compatibility of a tank with liquids depends on the material it is made from. Therefore, it is necessary to consult our specialists to determine the most suitable storage option.
