Tank Lining

Cost on average approximately 10% the cost of replacing a tank (or an effective saving of 90%). (1)

Lining Installation work on large tanks completed in a few short weeks.

Lining installation work on small tanks completed in a few days.

Can extend the practical working life of a tank by 30 plus years. (2)

In over 35 years working with tanks have found that almost any tank, in any condition, can be lined and brought back into service.

We carry out surface preparation, application and testing an extensive range of tank lining products which are designed to meet every corrosion and containment challenge. The refurbishment or lining of an existing tank is more cost effective than replacing a tank and certainly more environmentally friendly.

A minute hole in the internal protective lining of an aggressive chemical bulk storage tank can rapidly become an extremely serious problem. It is potentially very dangerous to personnel and the environment and could lead to product loss and wastage.

Any contamination of food or drink stored in a process vessel with a substandard internal surface could necessitate the disposal of the entire production batch or permanently give your client a lower impression of the standard of your product than it really deserves.

The cost of a failed container is not only the repair cost, but the lost material or product, the lost time and in some cases the cost of providing a replacement tank.

The rules that we apply have been learned from many years of experience:

There are no short cuts: to stop corrosion and to protect the tank we use the
right materials, the right tools for the job, and we test the results until we are completely satisfied.

In short…We are specialists.

All our services are available as a single turn key operation or on a consultancy basis for any element from specifying a suitable lining material, preparing and applying the new lining, to quality control, inspection and testing the work by
other contractors. (including dry film thickness and micro-porosity checks.)

Food grade, chemical resistant and high temperature lining material variants available.
