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.

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.

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!
