Client: Factory in Hull

Project details: The internal refurbishment & relining 1 no. GRP cold water storage tank sized 2.5m x 1.5m x 1.5m

Summary of works: Extensive preparation of cold water storage tanks internal surfaces followed by the application of WRAS approved ES 988 DWPU solvent free polyurethane.

Guarantee: 10 Years

Completion Date: 2019

Description of Works

Heavily corroded galvanised steel cold water storage tank fully refurbished and relined utilising our solvent free WRAS approved polyurethane ES 988 DWPU

The cold water storage tank was previously coated 15 years ago with an epoxy coating which had subsequently failed, exposing the corroded surface beneath subsequently causing the tanks internal surfaces to rapidly deteriorate.

All internal surfaces of the cold water storage tank were extensively prepared by removing all failed coatings prior to stipe coating all joints and structurally vulnerable areas of the water tank prior to applying two coats of ES 988 DWPU.

Our operatives then disinfected the water tank upon completion of works to ensure it was compliant with ACoP L8 before placing it back online.

As with all our projects our client received a detailed photographic completion report upon completion of our works accompanied by our long term 10 year guarantee.

BEFORE – CWST heavily affected by internal rusting.

PREPARATION – The tank was manually prepared using a scablatex head to remove the existing coating and to raise a surface profile of 75micron to accept the new coating.

STRIP COATING – A stripe coat of ES 988 DWPU was then applied to all joints, seams and sharp edges to reinforce these critical areas and to allow the coating to be built up to 2-3mm.

BASE COAT – The above was followed by an entire base coat of ES 988 DWPU, applied to all internal surfaces at a nominal thickness of 300- 500 micron

TOP COAT – The above was repeated with a top coat of ES 988 DWPU, again applied to all internal surfaces at a nominal thickness of 300- 500 micron.  As with the base coat, all critical seams were ‘stripe’ coated to build up the coating thickness in these areas.

DISINFECTION – Once the coating had cured, the tank was refilled, disinfected with SuperSil and put back on line.

ADDITIONAL WORKS – The temporary tank and associated pipe work were drained and the pipework disconnected from the system as found at start of project.

We used Echo Square services to reline a water tank in a local school recently, fantastic work and completed within the timescales needed

Had a cold water tank in the loft full of dust, wasp and flies. Tanks were cleaned to a very good standard, considering the awkwardness of the job. Very happy with the service

We were carrying out plumbing works on a site in London where we discovered a badly leaking GRP water tank, the Echo Square Services team attended site as quickly as possible to repair the leak and reline the tank. We will definitely contact them next time we are faced with a similar issue - would highly recommend.

We had a heavily leaking metal water tank above our office which was leaking through our ceiling, Echo Square Services repaired the leak and relined the tank just two days after we made the enquiry!

Arrived very quickly when the crisis developed in the 100-year-old water tanks in this Grade 1 listed building; did what looks a highly professional job (re-lining two hard to get at tanks in the roof) all in one day - which involved working really late - and were careful to make no mess and cause no damage. So far, it looks a great job at a reasonable cost.

I have used Nationwide Tank Relining on two occasions now and each time I have been absolutely delighted with their service, ‘can do’ attitude and professionalism from start to finish. I will definitely be requesting their services again in the future.

I contacted ECHOSquare to reline our water tank due to it being damaged and developing a leak, we needed the job doing ASAP as our site had no water so staff had to be sent home until it was fixed, James understood how urgent the job was and he was i spoke with him on the Friday and he was able to get the job booked in for the Monday, all The necessary Paper work, IE Rams & Training Certificates were sent to me via email before the guys got to site, from start to finish the service was excellent, Thanks ECHOSquare.

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!
