Galvanised Steel Water Tank Reline & Refurbishment

Echo Square Services Ltd were recently asked by an international property consultancy company to provide a long term cost effective solution for the refurbishment and relining of four sectional galvanised steel cold water storage tanks.

All four galvanised steel water tanks had existing failed butyl linings in place which had reached the end of their useful life.

We proposed that the existing failed butyl water tank liners were to be removed and the water tanks given long term protection by the application of our WRAS approved solvent free polyurethane coating ES 988 DWPU

Water tank relining surface preparation.

The first stage of this tank relining project was to remove the existing failed butyl liner and the under lining polystyrene insulation from the first sectional galvanised steel water tank.

The water tank was then manually prepared with small hand tools to remove the failed non-compliant bituminous coating and corrosion deposits which remained underneath the previously removed butyl liner.

A polyurethane sealant was then applied to all joints to fill the deep gaps in between panels and intricate areas to provide additional strength to these critical areas.

All joints in between the water tanks panels were then stripe coated with a base coat (Grey) of ES 988 DWPU to build up the coating thickness in these critical areas.

The application of two coats of polyurethane coating.

Once all critical areas of the cold water storage tank had been stripe coated a full base coat of (Grey) ES 988 DWPU coating was applied to all internal surfaces of water tank including the underside of the water tanks roof.

The coating was then left to cure prior to applying the second coating of (Blue) ES 988 DWPU coating to all internal surfaces.

Additional water tank remedial works.

Following the completion of the water tank reline, the tank was refilled and disinfected prior to being put back into service.

As part of the project we also installed Keraflo delayed action Aylesbury KB type float valves to all four water tanks as well as installing new compliant insulation to all external surfaces of each water tank.

The process above was then repeated for the additional three water tanks.

We specialise in water tank repair, water tank refurbishments, and the replacement of all types of liquid retaining structures, should you have similar project you require help with 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!
