Environment and Water Management

Our company has manufactured large-area covering systems made of glass fiber reinforced polyester resin for technical buildings since 1978. One of the oldest C.F. Maier coverings has been in use at a German industrial chemical plant since 1979. Covering around 58,000 m², it is one of the largest of its kind in Europe.

Our protection and closure elements are suitable for applications such as tanks, silos, large containers, or conveyor systems.

The functions and dimensions of such covers do not allow for a standard design. But to ensure economical and cost efficiency, we offer numerous modular system variants of our products. Special constructions, such as non-round covers, are easily done. Over the years, many such innovative constructions have been created – some with very large spans.

As part of project management, we offer support in your selection of the right type, construction, static calculations and approving the building dimensions on site. Our experienced teams also takes care of the final installation on site.

Our fiberglass products

• protect against the weather (rain, snow, hail, cold, air, light), such as for silos.

• protect against outside dirt from dust or drifting sand, such as for water tanks and clarifiers.

• suppress odors which may be a nuisance to residents, such as in thickeners and sludge silos in sewage treatment plants.

• prevent the spread of aerosols, such as in aeration tanks in sewage treatment plants.

• prevent evaporation losses, such as for water storage tanks.

• encapsulate sources of outdoor noise, such as pumps, turbines, and elevators in water and waste water technology.

• maintain a prescribed temperature, such as in biological wastewater treatment plants.

• protect against the infiltration of germs (including from birds) in sewage treatment plants.

C.F. Maier has been producing plastic recycling containers for over 40 years, and correspondingly our products have been used successfully in many cities for several decades. All our containers have been styled by recognized designers and score points not only for their functionality, but also their looks.

Oekotub – space-saving container concept made of glass fiber reinforced polyester resin

In cities, space is a precious commodity – which made it all the more important to us to find a space-saving concept for recycling containers with an attractive design. Due to the practical disc shape, our Oekotub containers can easily be placed in a row at the collection point.
