Galvanised Steel Tank Lining Kent

Galvanised Steel Tank lining project recently completed at a school in Kent.

The cold water storage tank was completely dilapidated and urgently required refurbishing and relining.

The storage tank was over forty years old and throughout that time period the internal surfaces had never been treated with any kind of protective coating system which subsequently caused the tank to severely corrode.

Our customer urgently required a cost effective and sustainable  solution to ensure the tank was brought up to safe water standards and compliant with ACOP L8 guidelines.

After reviewing the option to carry out a water tank replacement it was decided that a tank reline would be the most practical and sustainable solution.

This was decision was made due to the fact the water tank was located in a very restricted area ensuring it would’ve been almost impossible to remove the storage tank without causing major disruption.

Tank Lining Process 

Due to the severely corroded condition of all internal surfaces of the cold water storage tank particular attention was required to ensure all corrosion deposits were removed.

Our operatives then extensively prepared all internal surfaces utilising mechanical hand tools

As this process involved abrasively aggravating the internal surfaces this process revealed additional holes in the storage tanks side walls.

These holes were repaired utilising a metal epoxy filler, any additional water tank repairs were also carried out as part of the preparation process.

With the storage tank now fully prepared the internal surfaces were in a position to accept our WRAS approved polyurethane coating system.

Our operatives initially striped coated all joints and critical areas prior to applying two full coats of ES 988 DWPU coating to all surfaces.

With the water tank reline complete.

The final step required the storage tank to be clean and disinfected prior to placing the cold water down services 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.

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!
