Galvanised Steel Tank Reline Essex

Galvanised Steel Tank Reline recently completed in Colchester, Essex.

Our client required a cost effective alternative to carrying out the full water tank replacement of two galvanised steel water storage tanks.

Both water storage tanks were also located on the roof of a very busy hospital.

This ensured it would’ve been incredibly difficult to replace the water tanks without causing a great deal of disturbance by cutting up the existing tanks and carrying them through the hospital.

However, the existing storage tanks were both non-compliant with ACOP L8 guidelines, including the HSG 274 technical guidance therefore a practical solution was required.

Our client subsequently decided upon the sustainable solution of carrying out the full water tank relining and refurbishment of their sites storage tanks.

The Water Tank Relining Process

Both water tanks had been previously coated with a bituminous coating which isn’t WRAS approved and had began to to fail in numerous areas subsequently causing the steel panels underneath to corrode. 

Our operatives initially extensively prepared all internal surfaces ensuring the non-compliant bitumen coating was completely removed utilising mechanical hand tools.

In various areas the exposed steel surfaces had become damaged, we ensured these areas were repaired using an epoxy filler where required.

With the preparation completed, our operatives were then in position to apply the first coat of WRAS approved ES 988 DWPU coating to all internal surfaces.

This was left to cure prior to applying the second full coat.

Our operatives then carried out minor remedial works which included installing water tank insulation to both storage tanks and fitting rodent screens to the overflows of both tanks.

Now with both storage tanks compliant with ACOP L8 guidelines our team carried out the full water tank clean and disinfection of both tanks prior to placing the cold water down services back online.

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!
