Types of Steel Tank Repairs

Bolted and welded steel tanks are used quite a lot in many industries. Over time, these steel tanks are subject to corrosion. The best way to fix this problem is with quality steel tank repair services.

No matter how secure your ground storage tank is, you should know that even the best storage tanks made from welded or bolted steel get corroded and eventually fail if there are no tank inspections or preventative maintenance services.

Additionally, steel storage tanks are subject to unique requirements for repairs, retrofits, and upgrades. All of these are common in many industries, and over time, welded steel tanks may decrease their efficiency and potentially lose their lifespan. The best way to ensure that your tank construction is solid from the upper area to the tank bottom is with quality steel tank repair. Below, we are sharing more details.

Steel Tank Repair

Steel tank repair is essential for efficient water storage. If your tank needs a repair, you should know that there are multiple solutions and a range of steel tank repair options. Moreover, these tanks are often subject to changes in requirements and regulations by the authorities (for example, some powder-activated carbon can cause the steel to degrade).

One of the best way to repair your storage tank is by replacing its original coating with a lining system. As you probably know, coatings are great when a thin mil system is everything that you need. They have no structural integrity, which is why they are a good choice for welded tanks repair.

Linings, on the other hand, provide long term protection window for many types of tanks. They also have a good structural integrity and more importantly, eliminate the risk of blistering that is commonly caused by osmotic forces. A lining is one of the best ways to stop the spread of corrosion and a popular option for tank repair.

As a popular tank manufacturer of both bolted steel and welded steel storage tanks and systems, we have the knowledge to repair a variety of steel tanks. Our tank repair and replacement services include but are not limited only to:

We are also available for tank installation, safety inspection and everything you will need to get.

If you are not sure where to start, you should know that we are the best place for maintenance and repairs of bolted tanks. Our experienced crews are masters of engineering and able to do inspections on your tank system, tank maintenance or any specific replacements that you need.

Welded Tanks Repair

Our knowledge of tank materials, construction and performance made us become one of the best places for repair, welding inspections, modifications and replacements. Our team is skilled when it comes to modification and maintenance services that ensure your welded tank is in a good condition and minimize any disruptions to your work.

Our repair or replacement expertise includes the following services available to industrial clients:

Our engineering team is also skilled in inspecting coatings. We will check the coating of your tank and do complete inspection on its current condition. We are able to detect the tank’s leak (if any), and tell you the right cost to repair or replace it.

Bolted Steel Tank Repairs

Bolted steel is a material that offers multiple repair solutions. A bolted tank can be completely disassembled, where every component is removed without having to purchase a brand new ground storage tank.

For years, the choice for bolted steel tank repair was rubber lining, but things have changed. Now, linings are a great fix that offers a solid window of protection for steel tanks.

From leak detection to inspection on your vessels, pressure, modifications or full repairs, our construction crews are able to do full inspection of your tanks and ensure that your systems are working fine.

Storage Tank Modifications (Containment, Capacity)

When it comes to changes in the use of your tank, as well as new environmental requirements and technological innovations, we are also here to help. Known as one of the best in the industry, our custom solutions and tank modifications can help you:

If you are interested in a tank modification, you can contact us with more details based on your modification needs, unique systems and other details about your project.

In-House Engineering

We also offer in-house engineering and design capabilities for your tank needs. Our capabilities include API 650, API 620, API 653, ASME Section VIII, AWWA D100, FM and NFPA.

Whether it’s a pitting or a uniform loss of metal over a large surface area (which is your tank), corrosion is not strange to the water tank industry. In order for your tank to continue operating, a thorough inspection satisfying the API 653 requirements is needed.

Do not hesitate to contact us and discuss your tank’s installation or repair needs with our crews. We’ll be sure to provide you with more detail based on your project, and give you a full cost estimate.
