This 30 year old sprinkler tank was leaking badly. The tank was rusting from the inside out. The original factory coating system had broken down completely and the rust had taken over.

The only repair system that was going to restore this tanks integrity was the application of our guaranteed for 25 year fibreglass lining system.

Initially the only way into the tank was by accessing the roof through the BVH (Ball Valve Housing) and then a ladder down into the tank, onto the tank floor.
We installed an access manway into a lower wall panel at ground level for safe access and egress.

First things first...the surfaces had to be cleaned and keyed by abrasive grit blasting. This process exposed all the weaknesses in the steel wall of the tank and highlighted the areas for repair...lots of them.

After abrasive cleaning the surfaces were primed with polyester resin. All the holes, corroded areas and panel seams were repaired and reconstructed using layers of fibreglass matting.
Once all the repairs had cured, a double skin fibreglass lining was applied to the internal wall area, sealing onto the concrete floor all the way round the inside corner of the tank.

When the completed fibreglass lining application had cured, a coloured polyester gel topcoat was applied to seal the whole system guaranteeing our works for 25 years.

A week after starting our works... we bolted up the new access manway and the client put the tank back into service.
