Water Tank Lining by Echo Square
Tank Lining should always be considered as a cost-effective sustainable alternative to disruptive and time-consuming water tank replacements.
Echo Square provide tank lining solutions of all types of liquid retaining structures such as the following:
- GRP (glass reinforced plastic) cold water storage tanks, including sectional GRP water tanks and one-piece hand laid up water tanks
- Galvanised steel cold water storage tanks, including sectional galvanised steel cold water storage tanks and flat galvanised steel water tanks
- Concrete cold water storage tanks
- Mild steel and stainless steel cooling towers
- All types of sprinkler tanks
Why 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.
Restricted Access To Tanks
It’s very common, particularly in older buildings, to find water tanks installed in areas with restricted access.
These hazardous conditions subsequently make it very difficult, if not impossible, to carry out external repairs or water tank replacements when required.
Our tank lining service offers the perfect solution for impractical access conditions since we only need limited access to complete a full tank reline or water tank repair.
Most water tanks can be accessed either through a hatch in the tank’s lid, by removing the structure’s lid entirely, or preferably through a low-level access manway, which allows our confined-space-trained operatives to enter safely. Our experienced teams only need internal access to fully refurbish and reline all types of liquid-retaining structures.
Why Does A Water Tank Require Lining?
If you suspect an issue with your site’s water tank, it is critical to initially carry out a full site survey. This helps our team identify defects to fix and gather important information about the site we’ll work on.
A water tank can require relining for numerous reasons such as the following:
- Leaking from failed joints between the water tanks panels, usually caused by the mastic failing which is a common fault with GRP water tanks.
- Cracked panels, causing a water tank to leak, once again common with GRP tanks, often caused by structural movement.
- Heavy corrosion, most common with older, untreated galvanised steel cold water storage tanks and cooling towers.
- Heavy blistering of GRP tanks internal surfaces
- Black spore osmosis present underneath the gel coat of GRP water tanks.
You can resolve all the issues above by utilizing our water tank lining solution without needing to replace your site’s water storage tank.
We operate nationwide and have carried out numerous water tank relining projects in London, Wales & Scotland. Should you require any further information why not contact our friendly team and see how we can help.
