Defective Tank Returned to Service
PROBLEM
Over many years the lower sections of this tank had suffered extreme corrosion, resulting in several through wall defects. In addition, the bit-sand bed had failed completely, increasing the likely hood of under base corrosion.
The client wanted the tank brought back into service, but internal access was impossible.
SOLUTION
RU Coated provided a system recommendation and included plate designs that would reinstate strength into the lower sections. Plates were bonded in place using Belzona 1121 in a “cold weld” application which avoided “Hot Works”.
After completing concrete repairs, a flexible Tank Base Seal was then installed to prevent under base corrosion. RU Coated provided support throughout and completed the final inspection to validate the application.
