Project details: The internal refurbishment & relining 1 no. GRP cold water storage tank sized 3.5m x 3m x 2m

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

Echo Square Services were contracted to fully repair and refurbish a failed GRP cold water storage tank in a hotel in central London.

The water tanks internal GRP surfaces suffered severely from heavy delamination as well as multiple snapped internal tie rods which subsequently had a dire effect on the water tanks structural integrity, these combined issues ultimately resulted in the water tank to leak heavily forcing the client to take the water tank offline.

Our operatives were able to fully refurbish the tanks internal surfaces by carrying out extensive preparation work which included the repair and stripe coating of all internal joints as well as the replacement and retentioning of all broken and damaged steel tie rods prior to applying two coats of WRAS approved solvent free polyurethane ES 988 DWPU.

The fully refurbished cold water storage was then filled and disinfected in line with ACoP L8 guidelines prior to placing 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: The tank was in very poor internal condition, with the gel coat largely missing and some of the tie bars broken.

REPAIR – Broken tie bars were replaced with new 316 stainless steel tie bars.

PREPARATION – The tank was manually prepared to provide a surface profile of 0.75mm to accept the new coating.   A base coat of ES 988 DWPU was then applied to all internal surfaces at a nominal thickness of 300- 500 micron

TOP COAT – The above was repeated with a top coat (blue) of ES 988 DWPU applied to all internal surfaces.

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!
