External GRP Water Tank Relining Project

Echo Square Service Ltd were asked to provide a solution to coat the exterior surfaces of a GRP cold water storage tank, which was suffering from the breakdown of its existing gel coat located at a Hospital in Surrey.

We proposed that the GRP water tank was to be given long term protection by carrying out a full external water tank reline by the application of a polyurethane coating.

Our operatives utilised an aliphatic acrylic polyurethane coating which has a high solids content and UV stable gloss retention to ensure long term protection from UV rays.

The existing gel coat had reached the end of its useful life, becoming extremely fibrous as a result of weathering.

The exterior surfaces were abraded to provide a surface profile of 0.75mm to accept the new coating.

All joints were given a ‘stripe coat’ of polyurethane to build up the coating thickness at the critical seams. The water tanks external surfaces were then fully relined at a dry film thickness of 200 – 300 microns.

If you require any assistance with a similar project, why not contact our friendly team.

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!
