From underground or above-ground tanks to tank trailers, when a storage container needs repairs, it can get complicated and expensive. If you are researching tank liner repairs, understand the process in using fiber-reinforced plastics or polymers (FRPs) to know why FRPs can be a viable solution. Read more »
Sure, there are some common issues that come with steel tanks and tank linings that simply cannot be avoided. The key is to get tank repairs and tank liner repairs right away- before small issues can grow into major problems. Read more »
Commercial steel tanks have a limited lifespan. Whether it’s from corrosion, performance failure, or unexpected damage, steel tanks often require tank leak repair. Making repairs to steel tanks can be expensive, time-consuming and expensive, especially when steel tanks are buried underground. Whatever type of repairs your steel tank needs, consider fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) as an efficient way to get back to normal. Here are three common types of San Francisco water tank repairs.

Fiber-reinforced plastics or polymers (FRPs) have many industrial uses. We’ve used it in steel tank repairs, concrete reinforcement of old buildings, and tanker and trailer linings. Steel is especially prone to corrosion, but concrete, too, can fail under harsh conditions such as high salinity or high temperatures. It’s forced the industry to look for other options to maintain infrastructure. Read more »
From repairing tanks to reinforcing massive municipal structures, fiber-reinforced plastics or polymers (FRPs) have a wide variety of uses. But how are these versatile, strong materials made? The process is an interesting one that results in a very useful product. Read more »
“Corrosion” is not a word that a contractor, building owner, or business owner wants to hear. Corrosion means that a chemical reaction has taken place which has damaged or destroyed a structure or some of its components. FRP wraps, FRP duct, and FRP repairs are good ways to prevent or remedy the effects of corrosion. Read more »
Metal storage tanks are extremely susceptible to corrosion, and there will come a time when they will need to be repaired or replaced. Replacing a storage tank is sometimes unavoidable, but it is also a much more costly option. In most cases, it’s best to stick with water tank repair unless the bottom of a tank is no longer salvageable. This usually involves installing new water tank liners, which have evolved over the years to be far stronger and more resistant to heat and corrosion than they’ve been in the past. This is largely thanks to FRP. Read more »
Steel and concrete tanks have always been used to store potable water and other liquids, which means corrosion has always been an issue. In the past, companies have tried to prevent corrosion and avoid costly water tank repairs by lining tanks with materials such as lead-based paint, vinyl, and coal tar epoxies. These days, most companies use fiberglass-reinforced polymer, or FRP, for their water tank liners. FRP was introduced in the 1950s as a way to repair tank bottoms that had corroded. The material could not only bridge gaps that had formed in the bottoms of tanks, but they provided protection from internal corrosion as well. This made FRP wraps useful in tanks that were being used to contain more caustic chemicals. Read more »
