Concrete tanks are susceptible to degradation over time, this is accelerated by UV rays, harsh chemicals and rust. This degradation causes cracks which lead to water leaks and seepage.
Cracked water tanks are not only a costly problem but they allow contaminates to enter the tank and can cause serious damage. Water leaking from a cracked tank can also contain bacteria such as Legionella.
Most concrete tank owners will attempt to repair a leak or crack with patching products, these may work for a while but the cracks reopen as the water level changes. A long term solution to cracking water tanks is installing a tank liner.
A tank liner creates a protective barrier between the concrete water tank and harmful elements. The liner prevents water from leaking out, it is the best option for concrete tank repairs and is highly recommended over patching products.
Covac recently carried out a major repair to an on site bulk water tank at Vergennes, this included a concrete tank reline. Covac and their team of experts proved themselves to be a highly competent and expert contractor in this difficult task. This job was completed within the planned programme and to a very high standard.
A tank lining is an effective way of repairing a deteriorating concrete water tank, the liners are coated with a resin which creates a seal between the concrete and harmful elements. The liner protects the tank from water leaking and contamination, it is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your tank. concrete tank repairs
