REVIEW OUR PHOTO ALBUM FOR EXAMPLES OF OUR INDUSTRIAL WORK! |
Glassline, Inc. is one of the few companies in the United States
or really in the world that specializes in construction of both
fiberglass and polypropylene sieve tray fume scrubbers. |
|
Our covers which are integrally tied into the fume elimination
duck work, a product that we have been building since 1963. |
|
We have also worked on waste water treatment projects. |

Polypropylene Tanks and Fiberglass Tanks |
Tanks have been a staple of the fiberglass industry throughout
the whole United States, probably since the early sixties. |
|
Glassline, Inc. builds cylindrical tanks, rectangular tanks and square tanks. |
|
Some tanks we have work on are: |
|
- 20' long x 4' wide x 2' deep polypropylene tank reinforced
with fiberglass structural for a galvanizing plant. |
|
- 25' long x 5' wide x 5' deep test tank with heat, light
and conveyor in a container for overseas delivery. |
|
- Fiberglass Clarifier 20' long x 7 wide x 12' high mounted
in a steel frame for delivery to a mid-west chemical processor. |
|
- Double wall hazardous waste holding tank. |
- 500 gallon fiberglass H.C.L. tank, 6" diameter heat coils,
strainer compartment, overflow, insulated and covered. |
We run into a lot of situations now where original tanks have to be replaced
and are located in areas that are inaccessible, creating a situation where
the tanks have to be built in segments, delivered to the site, located
generally in a basement or in very inaccessible area where a full one piece
tank cannot be installed. We builds the tanks in sections and our technicians
go into the field and assemble them to the same size as the original tank. |

ENCLOSURES |
Glassline has provided enclosures and shelters of every description for
almost 40 years.
Any size or configuration, folly assembled or in sections. |
Some examples are: |
- Instrument shelters molded & assembled, ready for bolt-down.
Weather proof & insulated. |
- Eight segment dome 16' diameter x 24* tall.
Deliver weather information world wide. |
|
- Car Wash Enclosures. Insulated wall & roof panels. |
|
- Control panel cabinets designed for harsh environments. |
Just recently one of our clients, Ford Motor Company required an enclosure
the size of a four car garage for climate control testing at in Romeo. |
|
The enclosure chambers are 25 feet wide, 18 feet tall inside and 45 feet long.
They are all fiberglass construction, floors, walls, ceiling, doors.
The walls are all 4 inches thick with urethane foam insulation in them.
The floors are eight inches thick with urethane foam insulation. |
|
Ford Motor Company uses this climate control enclosures to create any climate
situation that you can present. They can go from 40 degrees below zero
Fahrenheit to 160 degrees above zero Fahrenheit at one degree per minute. |
|
They can do anything they want climate wise: snow, fog, rain, hot and dry and
even wind to a small extent. And, of course, the fiberglass is designed to sustain
the pressures of those temperature variations. It has to be able to accept the
expansion and the contraction of the cause by the temperature going from
40 below zero to 160 degrees above zero in a matter of three hours. |
|
That's really one of the more interesting projects that we've done. |
 |
|
Strangely enough, we have customers come to us that have tried other
companies, but they have all been unsuccessful in providing the product
for no apparent reason. |
|
It' hard to put it in words, but many times on a new project we can
think back through our previous experience and say... remember we
did that job in 1975 and we had this problem or that problem. |
 |
|
And if somebody would ask... can you verify that or can you show us
how you've come to that conclusion, we probably couldn't. But we
know what not to do, and we know when to be careful, and we
know from past experience what hasn't worked. |
