Water Tank Inspection Hatch

Water tank inspection hatch recently installed in a sectional GRP water tank in Essex.

Our client required a suitable solution to help ensure safe entry into their sites potable water tank.

Prior to our team installing the water tank inspection hatch, the only internal access into the water tank was via the hatch in the roof of the tank.

As the water tank was three metres high its former access route ensured a considerably high confined spaces risk when working inside the tank.

Furthermore, in the highly unlikely event an operative should become incapacitated within the water tank, it would be become very difficult to carry out any kind of rescue procedure.

Regardless of the fact the operative would be wearing a safety harness and be attached to a tripod and winch system. 

Therefore, to help lower the confined spaces risk the decision was made to install a low level access man way hatch closer to the base of the water tank.

This solution ensures future maintenance works such as water tank clean and disinfections can be carried safely and remain complaint with ACoP L8 guidelines.

We specialise in the refurbishment of all types of water storage tanks, our teams are capable of installing water tank inspections hatches as part of all water tank relining projects or carrying out any other type of water tank repairs.

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!
