Fiberglass tanks

Ross and Kevin are hard at work laying down fiberglass tape on the interior faces of our new waste tanks.  These tanks are superior in strength and durability compared to polypropylene for certain uses. These particular tanks will experience pressure that requires the level of structural integrity that fiberglass provides.  Ross is very experienced in this type of construction and has been critical to the clean and efficient construction of these components.  Kevin has been his right-hand man through the process, and has also prepared the necessary foundations for this tank inside the ship.  We look forward to their installation next week.
