Industrial - GRP Tank Linings, for leaking or corroded tanks.

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
