Fire water storage for FM Global-oriented projects
Industrial facilities, logistics centres, warehouses and commercial infrastructure often carry fire protection requirements set by project consultants, insurance providers and fire safety engineers.
FM Global is associated with property loss prevention research, engineering guidance and risk management. Projects insured by FM Global, or designed around its recommendations, may need fire water storage that meets specific engineering and installation requirements.
AVM Prefabricated Modular Tanks LLP offers prefabricated steel water storage tanks that can be evaluated and configured against project-specific FM Global requirements. Before recommending a configuration we look at the required capacity, tank construction, structural arrangement, foundation conditions, water supply connections and installation needs.
Key Considerations for FM Global Tank Projects
Project specification review
Understand the fire water storage requirement and the applicable project documentation.
Tank design
Evaluate dimensions, capacity, structural design and operating requirements.
Corrosion protection
Consider suitable corrosion-protected steel panel systems.
Internal protection
Select an appropriate internal liner or protection system.
Foundation planning
Coordinate the tank base and foundation with the project engineering team.
Installation arrangements
Plan site assembly, access, roof construction and connections.
Where FM Global Fire Water Tanks Are Specified
FM Global-oriented fire water storage projects may include:
- Large industrial manufacturing facilities
- Warehouses & distribution centres
- Automobile & engineering plants
- Data centres & critical infrastructure
- Chemical & pharmaceutical facilities
- Commercial & logistics developments
- High-value industrial properties
Our Approach to FM Global Project Requirements
Review the specification
Every project is evaluated against the specifications issued by the consultant, fire engineer and insurer.
Propose a configuration
AVM discusses capacity, structure, material options and connections with project stakeholders.
Coordinate documentation
Drawings and material details are shared so the tank can be assessed for the intended application.
FM Global guidance is not the same as FM Approval
Projects often use both terms. They mean different things, and the difference matters when you specify a tank.
Information needed to plan an FM Global fire water tank
- Required water capacity
- Tank drawings and fire protection specifications
- Site information and foundation details
- Connection requirements
- Any applicable approval documentation

Frequently asked questions
The term generally refers to storage tanks specified for projects that follow FM Global fire protection and property loss prevention requirements. The exact design and specification depend on the project.
No. FM Global provides property loss prevention guidance, while FM Approvals independently tests and certifies eligible products. A tank that follows project-specific FM Global recommendations is not automatically FM Approved.
Yes, subject to the project’s design requirements, tank configuration, engineering calculations, applicable standards and approval requirements.
Usually the required water capacity, tank drawings, fire protection specifications, site information, foundation details, connection requirements and any applicable approval documentation.
AVM offers customised prefabricated modular tank solutions. Final suitability for a particular FM Global project must be verified against its technical specifications and approval conditions.
