7 Reasons Why Tank Lining Is Important

Tank lining is one of the main services we provide here at Echo Square. Tank lining is important to ensure that tanks do not leak. The next most important task in tank lining is to ensure that you maintain and check the lining regularly. If you don’t address the issue, your tank might leak, causing corrosion to nearby items. Ignoring the problem could require you to take the tank offline for repairs, which may disrupt your commercial activities in the building.

Here then are 7 reasons why you should have lining in your tank, and the benefits that it provides.

1) Protection Against Corrosion

Tanks often store corrosive substances. This includes chemicals, water, fuel, or other liquids that can deteriorate the tank material over time. A proper lining creates a protective barrier that prevents corrosion and extends the lifespan of the tank, especially for metal tanks. Echo Square use Geotextile matting behind the lining to protect it from being compromised.

2) Prevention of Leaks

Without a protective lining, leaks could be caused by small cracks or imperfections in the tank’s material, leading to environmental contamination or loss of the stored material. The tank is sealed by a lining, and leaks are prevented, which is critical for regulatory compliance and safety.

3) Preventing Contamination

In tanks used for food, pharmaceuticals, or potable water, it is crucial to prevent contamination. Proper lining such as an EDPM Liner keeps the stored substance from touching harmful materials in the tank walls. EDPM Liners carry a guarantee of 10 years with Echo Square.

4) Temperature and Pressure Resistance

Tanks that store substances under extreme temperatures or pressures benefit from linings that are specifically designed to resist thermal stress or pressure. This helps maintain the structural integrity of the tank under challenging conditions.

5) Chemical Compatibility

Linings are specially designed to be compatible with specific chemicals or materials stored in the tank. Choosing the correct lining prevents reactions between the tank and its contents, protecting both the tank and the product.

6) Maintenance

A properly lined tank is not only easier to clean but also easier to maintain. In addition, the smooth surface of many linings prevents the buildup of sediments, thereby making routine maintenance simpler and less frequent.

7) Cost Efficient

Lining a tank can be a cost-effective solution compared to replacing an entire tank. It allows the tank to be used for longer periods without suffering major damage, reducing repair and replacement costs over time. If you need support with tank lining then please get in touch, we would be happy to help!

Conclusion

To conclude, tank lining is extremely important to ensure that your tank stays healthy. Failure to line your tank or maintain it well could mean, your tank corrodes, leaks and the end result might mean a full tank replacement.

In short, lining a tank helps protect its structural integrity, ensures safety, and preserves the quality of the stored materials. See our tank lining service page for more information.

We manage a large residential block and recently reached out to Echo to quote to reline two water tanks that were failing. An absolute fantastic service all round. A quote was received within a day or so. Works were booked in and communication was excellent. We were really impressed with the engineers on the day. They communicated well on the day in terms of the plan of action. Once the work was complete, they ensured all areas were left clean and tidy. A follow up report post works was sent very soon after the works.We look forward to working with Echo again. If you need honest, reliable contractors who will get the job done and to a high a standard, don't hesitate to get in touch with them.Thank you.

I contacted Echo Square on behalf of a client of mine who urgently needed her Victorian underground Cistern re lined. The work was quoted for promptly and the work carried out to a high standard by the engineers who were courteous and friendly despite their long drive to site. My client was very impressed and so grateful to have her Cistern back in working order. I would highly recommend this company and will most definitely approach them again should I have another client with tank issues in the future. 5 star service!

Having used other companies in the past I can wholeheartedly say that our dealings with Nationwide Tank Relining have been a breath of fresh air. We have had tanks relined, water hygiene assessments and floor coatings. All work was carried out in a timely manner and the quality of work has each and every time been exemplary. My bosses are thrilled with my decision to switch to Nationwide Tank Relining and a tank that was relined 10 years ago by them still looks good as new internally, and the money we've saved from choosing the right supplier has proven to be a very smart business move. Highly recommended!
