Sprinkler Water Tank Liners

Butyl Rubber / EPDM Replacement Sprinkler Water Tank Liners

In some cases corrugated cold water storage tanks and many variations of sprinkler cold water storage tanks can only be relined using a Butyl rubber or EPDM liner (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer rubber). Old sprinkler tank liners can begin to leak or become damaged causing a number of potential problems.

Echo Square have extensive experience in fitting high quality replacement EPDM liners in all types of liquid storage tanks where a coating system would not be suitable.

Echo Square can provide a new liner to existing rubber-lined cold water storage tanks. We offer a full installation service whereby the old failed liner is removed and all fixing flanges can be replaced along with their respective nuts, bolts and gaskets to ensure the longest possible service life. The new EPDM sprinkler tank liner is installed on top of a geotextile matting layer for additional protection. Finally a thorough visual inspection is carried out prior to refilling the sprinkler tank.

All replacement liner works are guaranteed for a minimum period of 10 years upon completion against leaking.

When should you replace your Sprinkler Tank Liner?

We recommend conducting ROV (remotely operated vehicle) surveys every 10 years on all fire sprinkler tanks to stay compliant with LPC (Loss Prevention Council) rules and regulations.

These surveys include photos and videos to assess the internal condition of your fire sprinkler tank. Based on the findings, we can recommend any necessary remedial actions to help maintain the long-term integrity of your system.

Some of these recommendations may include the following:

Refurbishment or replacement of the sprinkler tanks roof purlins
Refurbishment of ancillary items within the fire sprinkler tank such as the the suction vortex & corroded tank panels
Replacement of all gaskets and seals
Replacement of the failed butyl or EPDM liner due to deterioration
Installation of a low level access hatch to ensure safe access into the structure for future maintenance.
Replacement of faulty ball valves

Echo Square are able to assist in carrying out all of the works above including ROV sprinkler tank surveys when required.

Installation of Sprinkler Tank Geotextile Matting Bag

Our team begins by installing a geotextile matting bag beneath the new EPDM liner, creating a protective barrier between the internal walls and base of the sprinkler tank.

This matting prevents potential future perforations, safeguarding the new EPDM liner.

Once in place, we retrofit the matting on-site to fit around all key tank connections, such as the suction vortex and drain valve.

After securing the matting, we refit the low-level access hatch or tank panel, fully sealing the tank structure.

We then hoist the bespoke-manufactured EPDM liner from the base of the sprinkler tank to the top, using the stainless steel eyelets pre-fitted into the liner to attach it to the tank’s existing fixings.

With all remedial work completed and both the geotextile matting and EPDM liner securely in place, we refill the sprinkler tank and reinstate the system.

Sprinkler Water Tank Lining FAQ’s

If you have a question about our Sprinkler Tank Lining service, check the FAQ below to see if we’ve already answered it.

Is Tank Lining cost effective?

Tank lining involves the refurbishment and relining of an existing water tank as opposed to carrying out the replacement of an existing structure.
Our specialist solution allows for operatives to carry out a water tank repair or tank reline by simply draining an existing water tank and carrying out the required refurbishment works without the requirement to replace the existing liquid retaining structure.
Therefore, ensuring potential site downtimes and any wastage caused to a minimum.

Do you offer guarantees?

Yes we do. To back up our confidence in our expert storage tank lining service, we offer up to 15 years guarantee on all tank lining projects. The guarantee duration will be made clear at the time of quotation and provided in writing.

Will my site suffer downtime?

Tank lining can be carried out during “out of hours” working times & over weekends, often water tanks and process vessels are separated into two separate compartments, which ensure operatives are able to work on one compartment at a time, therefore keeping one compartment online at all times and ensuring the water system down services do not require isolating.

Which areas do you cover?

Our water tank relining teams are set up to provide fast and dependable service throughout England, Scotland, Wales and both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. As part of one of the nation’s largest and most trusted water system suppliers we are backed by teams offering water tank relining in London, Kent, Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Southampton, South East of England, Dublin & Belfast.

Can’t we just replace the tank?

Carrying out full water tank replacements can be very costly and time consuming therefore water tank lining can be a far more cost-effective alternative which ensures far less disruption is caused to a building’s services and occupants. Tank Lining is a much more sustainable option too.

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!

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.

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!
