Water Storage Tank Replacement London

Water storage tank replacement recently completed at a prestigious university in central London.

Our clients existing GRP sprinkler tank had failed due to the base of the storage tank completely giving way.

Following a site visit by one of our specialist consultants it became apparent that the existing GRP storage tank was non-repairable by either carrying out a water tank repair or a tank reline.

Therefore it was decided that the only practical solution would be to carry out a full turnkey water storage tank replacement.

As the existing water tank had failed and was now empty and offline this subsequently left the university without any operational fire suppression system.

It was of paramount importance for our client to ensure their sites fire suppression system was placed back online as soon as possible.

GRP Water Storage Tank Replacement Solution

Our team attended site to begin removing the existing water tank, which involved dismantling all water tank panels where possible.

Any GRP tank panels which couldn’t be dismantled were cut into sections using a reciprocating saw to make them easier to safely remove from site.

With the failed GRP tank now removed from site, we ensured all wastage was disposed of via a licensed waste carrier.

The existing concrete base was then checked to ensure it was completely level, prior to fitting new horizontal supporting steels in place.

The next step was to carefully install the base panels of the new GRP water tank, which was then followed by the side walls and roof.

To alleviate future confined spaces risks associated with carrying out future maintenance tasks such as tank cleaning and disinfections we also installed a low level inspection hatch.

With the the new GRP storage tank now fully constructed we were in a position to then install the tanks inlet valve and outlet pipe work which was connected directly to the pumpset located in the adjacent pump room.

Finally, upon completion of the turnkey water tank installation our operatives filled the sprinkler tank in preparation for the system to be commissioned and the fire suppression system to be placed back online.

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.

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!
