Industrial facilities, commercial properties, and even certain residential buildings rely on tanks to store liquids, such as fire-suppression water and chemicals. Like all property elements, those tanks are prone to wear and tear without proper upkeep. However, the adoption of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) tank liners can make maintenance easier, extending tanks’ life spans. It’s also helpful to work with a business capable of FRP lining inspections and repairs. In this article, you’ll learn what FRP-lining-equipped tanks can hold and what taking care of them entails.

FRP Wraps & Linings Enable Flexible Repairs

As of March 2012, there were approximately 587,000 underground storage tanks that were used to store petroleum and other hazardous substances. Since these substances cannot be allowed to leak into nearby groundwater, these tanks have been double-walled since 2005. A double-walled tank is similar to double-walled hulls on oil tankers and includes a secondary wall with a space between both walls. If the inner wall is damaged and begins to leak, the substance inside the tank will only fill the space between the walls instead of leaking into the ground where it can contaminate nearby groundwater. The leaked material drains to the centerline of the tank bottom where it can be safely removed by a pump or through other means. Read more »

When a tank needs repairs, you can try to patch it, but those types of repairs may not be permanent. As an alternate to replacing the tank, fiberglass liner repair may be just what you need to get up to 20 more years of use out of the tank. Read more »
