Water Tank Refurbishment
Project :- Isle of Wight School ( Polypropylene Tank Lining )

 

Over the last few years Environmental Fabrications have refurbished a large number of water tanks on the IOW, at various schools and council buildings. The water tank above was one of around six tanks at the council offices in Newport.Three engineers attended site at 8am and commenced draining, cleaning and lining of the six water tanks. All six water tanks were completed, tested and back in service by 5.30pm.

This is a good example of the rapid installation time of the Polypropylene Tank Lining System, and the quality end product. Many types of tank can be flexible lined, including, sectional tanks, one piece galvanised tanks, leaking grp tanks and cooling tower sumps.

Water Tank Refurbishment
Project :- Padley and Venables ( Epoxy Tank Coating )

EF were asked if we could repair a leaking process water tank at the above site. On arrival, we were told the process tank held a mixture of water and a special annealing chemical. This chemical was extremely expensive and almost two thirds of the tanks contents had leaked out over a two day period, ceasing production. We attended site two days later to commence the inspection and repair of the process water tank. Upon close inspection, a hole around the size of a 5p piece was found 12” from the base of the tank. A mechanical repair was undertaken, and due to the severe corrosion, a three coat epoxy tank coating was applied to the water tank surfaces.
Within 4 days EF had the tank refilled and back in service. Our engineers left site, leaving probably our happiest customer to date.
EF Stock a wide range of water tank coatings , including solvent based and solvent free. Our epoxy coating are used to refurbish a wide range of water tanks, including, process water tanks, sprinkler tanks and water tanks where the Polypropylene Lining System is not suitable.

Water Tank Refurbishment
Project :- Pulrose Power Station ( Epoxy Tank Coating )

EF carried out its largest water tank epoxy coating project to date. The above project was to convert a heavy oil storage tank, to process water storage. The vessel had been drained and left empty for a number of years, resulting in the internal surfaces of the tank being covered with a layor of rust.
Our engineers grit blasted the roof, walls and base of the tank, to prepare the surfaces for the epoxy coating. A two coat, solvent free epoxy coating was applied to the water tanks internal surfaces. After 5 weeks work, 6 tons of grit blasting aggregate and 500kg of epoxy tank coating, the tank was refilled with over a million gallons of fresh water.
EF stock a number of surface tolerant epoxy tank coatings, for use when the water tanks internal surfaces are only mildly corroded. These coatings are suitable where grit blasting of a water tanks surfaces is not suitable.

Water Tank Replacement
Project :- Washington Leisure Centre

EF carried out the replacement of an 8` x 4` x 8` sectional water tank, with a new 5000ltr sectional grp tank. Unlike most water tank replacement projects, our engineers were able to build a new sectional tank adjacent to the old sectional water tank.
On completion of the build and test filling of the new tank, existing pipework services were switched to the new water tank. A chlorination was carried out, and the old water storage tank was removed to create additional storage space.

Project:- Snaith Salad Growers ( External Coating of 2 Water Tanks )

Water Tank External.JPG    Water Tanks External.JPG

EF received an enquiry from a local salad grower, we were asked if it would be possible to carryout the external tank relining of two cold water tanks. During the initial survey it was noted that there were two tanks, one 44' x 16' x 12' sectional water tank and one circular cold water tank. On close inspection, severe corrosion was found on the roof of both water tanks and a water tank repair would be needed. Severe corrosion was also found in areas around the walls of each tank, with a number of areas requiring repairs.

Both water tanks were in close proximity of local stables and concern was raised over contamination of hay with paint chippings. EF constructed a 5m high mesh screen around the water tank enclosure to prevent any paint contamination during tank relining works. Both water tanks were blasted and a number of water tank repairs were carried out to the roofs of both water tanks.

On completion of the tank repair and preparation stages, a three coat polyurethane relining system was applied to both tanks. EF were asked if it was possible to use a colour which would blend into the surrounding landscape. A grass green polyurethane water tank coating was sourced and the result was in the above photos. The contamination protection screen was removed and the water tank area was cleaned. Site were advised that the internal surfaces of both water tanks were poor and water tank liners may be required in the future. Both water tanks were refurbished over a three week period and both the customer and stable owner were more than happy with the end result.

tank lining

 

The majority of us will have a water tank in our homes where the cold water is stored in a safe environment. Commercial properties also have water tanks on site but their tanks tend to be much larger. Over a period of time the tank lining can become eroded and structurally imperfect. That`s when a tank refurbishment is in order and a new tank lining might be called for. The majority of worn tank linings can be replaced by new tank lining systems. Companies located on the Internet such as Environmental Fabrications found at Watertankrefurbishment.com specialise in flexible tank lining systems. Rather than going to the expense or the problems of having a new tank installed, the majority of old tanks can be treated to a new polypropylene tank lining system that will have them looking just like new. With worries about Legionella and other diseases you can`t be too careful when it comes to water storage. A simple tank survey will reveal if the tank is up to scratch, and this is performed free by this team of tank specialists. The tank lining system they use has a fast installation time with the majority of water tanks of up to 8000 litres being refurbished in less than four hours. Over the years numerous water tanks has benefited from this type of system and many have been saved from the scrap yard because of this. Storing water is a serious business that requires the right type of container to function correctly. When your tank begins to show signs of wear treat it to a tank lining that will give it a new lease of life.

 

 

water storage tanks

 

We give little thought to our water storage tanks at times - they just sit there and perform an essential service. Cold water storage tanks store water by the bucketfuls but they do so without fuss and certainly without favour. With the advent of time though, water storage tanks might need refurbishing, or if water demands rise, they might even need replacing. For companies that require large water storage tanks say for industrial or chemical purposes, new sectional tanks can be purchased that will replace any tired old systems. These solid storage items can be built up in sections from the smallest of units to the largest of containers. Regardless of the size of the project, if you require water storage tanks you`ll be able to find the right-sized product. Specialist companies are available that can give you free site surveys to ensure you`ll get the right water storage tanks for your needs. Moreover, if you need a temporary supply of water then suitable tanks can be installed to supply water whilst the mains supply is off. Storing water can be an important process as contaminated water can bring with it disease. Therefore it`s essential that water storage tanks are kept in tip-top condition and the linings are replaced when they begin to wear. Using the latest polypropylene tank lining systems old tanks can be given new horizons. We might give little thought to our water storage tanks at times, however, they can now be pampered with luxury linings that will ensure they continue providing years of valuable water-storage service.

 

 

water tank

 

Many domestic and commercial properties have a water tank installed where water can be safely stored. Depending on the requirements, a water tank can be a small container or a larger container; it just depends on the customer requirements. Over time, a water tank can begin to show signs of wear and the water that is stored within it might become affected because of this. Contaminated water can lead to more serious diseases such as Legionella so it`s essential that the water tank be kept in the best possible condition. Should the water tank begin to show signs of aging a new tank might not always be required though. There are companies who can provide a water tank refurbishment programme, which will save customers the expense and hassle of having to buy a new water storage system. The refurbishment of the cold-water storage tank involves a flexible polypropylene lining being used to give the water tank a much-needed overhaul. It`s a particularly effective system and it`s very quick to install. Typical cold-water storage tanks can be refurbished in less than 4 hours by using this system, so if you need a fast solution to your water storage problems this is the perfect application to use. If you think your water tank is past its best get some expert advice or request a survey. You can`t be too careful when it comes to cold-water storage so ensure your tank is safe and structurally sound. With a handy new lining your old tank will be as good as new and provide the perfect place to store gallons of water.

 

 

chlorination

 

Swimming pools are enclosed bodies of water made artificially for recreational purposes or even competitive activities. These activities may include swimming, diving, wading, playing, and or water exercise, floating around on tubes or merely cooling off on hot summer days. Usually, a chemical called chlorine is put in the water to keep it clean and to stop from developing bacteria. This process ios called chlorination. The history of these pools started at the �great bath` constructed at Mohenjo Daro and was most likely dug in the 3rd millennium BC. It was lined with bricks and covered with a tar-based sealant. Naturally, during these times chlorination was not yet thought of. These artificial swimming pools were also constructed by the Greeks and Romans for athletic training, nautical games and military exercises.

 

 

legionella

 

It`s not only important for employers to make sure they provide clean water for their workers it`s now the law because bacteria like legionella can be lurking in systems that aren`t treated. Cooling towers can be breeding grounds for bacteria like legionella and other systems like air conditioning units can also house the harmful bugs. Drinking fountains in the workplace could be potential danger zones as legionella doesn`t discriminate when it comes to places to live in. Under the Health and Safety at Work act legionella has to be controlled and any employer has to identify and asses and possible risk. If the risk is deemed to be potentially harmful the employer must prepare a scheme whereby the risk can be adequately prevented or controlled. Typically one person needs to be assigned managerial responsibility for the scheme to help control the legionella. Companies shouldn`t panic when they are confronted with the regulations because they can enlist the help of outside agencies to help with the legionella control. Groups like this one specialise in water and air hygiene and they can provide companies with steadfast systems that can help them to prevent or control the legionella outbreak. Remember, it`s important to provide clean water in the workplace and regulations are now in place that makes it the law under health and safety.

sprinkler tank

 

My husband works for a firm which looks after water tanks and one of the main parts he works on is the sprinkler tank. He has worked with the sprinkler tank for many years and has forged some fantastic friendships with the people he works with. They are all spread around the workplace at the moment although they have all worked on the sprinkler tank at some time during their employment there and that is where my husband has made these friends. They are all very similar and are real men`s men who enjoy the usual male pursuits such as watching football and going to the pub for a drink after work. Every Friday is a boys` night out and, through this, I have made some very good friends with their wives. Nowadays, when the men go out after work together for their boys night, we have a girls night instead. Sometimes we go out for dinner and cocktails but sometimes we just stay in, get a takeaway and have a couple of bottles of wine. I am really pleased that my husband has made these friends because it means that my social life has really expanded since he has worked there.

 

 

tank lining

 

My brother works for a company that sells water tanks and he is responsible for making sure that the tank lining is up to scratch. Obviously, the tank lining is an incredibly important part of the tank because we all know how far water will infiltrate if it is left unchecked. He is really happy in his job but unfortunately, he talks about tank lining a little too much for my liking. In fact, his girlfriend has been in tears over how much he talks about work. She explained to me that they had gone out for dinner with some friends the other night and she said she could not believe that my brother talked about his job for the whole night. She could not believe he had been so rude and told me that all the other guests had been as bored as she was but they were just too polite to say so. I suggested she have a long talk with my brother. After all, she knows as well as I do that he can be the life and soul of the party. Indeed, that is what attracted her to him in the first place. She said she will take my advice and sit down to work it out with him as soon as she can.

 

 

water storage

 

A great number of process plants have large water storage tanks on site that contain gallons of water. On the whole the tanks should perform well under most conditions yet over a period of time corrosion can begin to affect the integrity of their structures. Seams that have begun to rust can suddenly start to seep water and at this stage it could be deemed necessary to replace the whole tank. However, refurbishment programmes are also available and these could provide simple solutions for the crises that are being faced. A site that has to deal with leakages from one or more of their water storage tanks will certainly benefit by a refurbishment programme. The affected areas on the tanks can be fitted with corrosion proof plates and fibre glass is another material that is often used. Epoxy coatings can be applied to the tanks to prevent any further leaks from occurring. If treated in time a water storage tank can have a makeover that will ensure it can keep on providing a storage solution for many years to come. Left alone and it can lead to terminal problems as the whole unit might have to be replaced at quite a considerable cost.

 

 

water tanks

 

Large volumes of liquid can be stored inside domestic or commercial water tanks and if they suddenly begin to leak due to the effects of corrosions they might need to be refurbished or in the most extreme cases, they`ll have to be replaced. Keep your eye on your tank and you should be ok as you`ll be able to deal with any signs of problems as soon as they occur. Tank specialists can always be brought in who can provide plenty of advice about the subject. If process plants discover they have problems with their units they can more often than not be repaired. Corrosion proof plates can be fitted along with fibre glass, whilst epoxy coatings can cover the entire area. Hardy repairs such as these will leave the water tanks in great condition and it proves to be less costly than having to replace the whole system. Think about how much water is stored in the tanks on your plant and you might just want to check on their current condition. If they suddenly started leaking you could be in for big problem yet simple repairs might be all that are required to keep the water tanks spick and span in the future.
