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.

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!
