By September 2005
storage facilities must be deemed 'adequate' by the Environmental Agency.
THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE
TO THE REPLACEMENT OF 'INADEQUATE' CONTAINMENT TANKS.

Conrete
bund to protect Ferric Sulphate. Tanks badly deteriorated with bitumen
coating blistering and concrete cracking. |
|
All
loose material removed and 600gm layer of fibreglass was applied to
the interior of the bund and over the rim. The lining was precision
moulded to the substrate to provide perfect bonding. |
Fibrotec GRP Tank
Linings are able to offer all aspects of GRP installations to industry,
from new storage tanks, to tank and bund linings.
Once a storage tank
or bund becomes damaged or corroded the risk to production, plant and
machinery, work force and environment can be immense. Replacement of the
tank can be extremely expensive and the downtime can create extreme shortfalls
in production.
Total refurbishment
of corroded or damaged tanks can be carried out to give long-term service,
for a fraction of the price of a replacement tank.
Fibrotec GRP Tank
Linings provide the ideal solution. They can be applied to any size or
type of tank or bund; they can be bonded to metal, alloys, concrete or
wood. It forms a continuous seamless lining that is easy to clean and
maintain and is resistant to corrosion from any liquid substance however
toxic, acidic or corrosive, using the original tank as a former. Creating
"A Tank Within A Tank".
Fibrotec GRP Tank
Linings are moulded to the tank 'in situ' with minimum disruption to production.
The damaged tank is first grit blasted and primed and then fully lined
with fibreglass. The flexibility of the fibreglass allows it to be perfectly
moulded to the original form of the tank and its strength allows it to
provide a permanent seal for holes, fractures or corrosion. This method
removes the problems and cost of having the old tank dismantled and disposed
of.
Fibrotec Tank Linings
may be applied to Thermoplastic Tanks to reinforce them on the outside
to provide any extra strength that may be required in their construction.

Corrosion
in the tank was contaminating the water it contained. Repairs and
painting to the exterior quickly deterioated with corrosion an seepage. |
|
The
tank interior was grit blasted and primed with polyester resin, a
3mm lining of glassfibre laminate and isopthalic polyester resin was
then applied. Work was completed in 5 days. |
Our fibreglass linings
are:
- Durable
- Impervious
- Seamless
- Easy to clean
- Tough
- Maintenance Free
