Galvanised Tritainer
Using triangular shaped galvanised steel panels which make up 1.0m2 modules that are then bolted together on site, a rapidly assembled rectangular tank that can fit into small and difficult spaces can be provided. Internally a hot vulcanised tailor made membrane liner is fitted to the tank. Any length and width can be catered for, with a maximum height of 2.575m.
Galvanised Liquitainer / Firetainer
Using steel sections of either rectangular, circular or u-beams, a structure is formed which eliminates the need for internal bracing. Galvanised steel panels are bolted between the sections and the interior is fitted with an open top tailored membrane liner. Alternative covers are available either flat with a raised ball valve housing for indoor use, or with a low profile pitch for outdoor use.

Water Tank Refurbishment
• Fire sprinkler
• Potable / Cold water services / Building services
• Industrial process water
Refurbishment of existing tanks can save both time and money, as well as cutting to the minimum the inconvenience of a shut off water system, be this for a fire sprinkler or potable / cold water services / building services tank. In the case of potable / cold water services / building services tanks, it is vitally important that the stored water be kept in a wholesome condition, as required under the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, Health & Safety at Work Acts and Control of Substances hazardous to health regulations.

External Inspection & Survey. What we provide for our customers:
Visual inspection and assessment, including if necessary the use of an ultrasound-scanning device, to assist in the assessment of the condition of:
Tank wall sheets
Pipe work, spools and flanges
Covers
Ancillary equipment, including immersion heaters, valves, contents gauges and level control switches
Ladders, platforms and hand-railing
Top and bottom rolled angles
Holding down brackets and bolts
Water Tank Liners
Underwater Camera
A video of the interior of the tank can be produced and presented as part of an assessment report. Using the submersible camera unit means that the tank does not need to be drained, thereby avoiding the need of increased insurance premiums in the case of a fire tank and for alternative water supplies to be arranged, in the case of drinking water or process water tanks. The cost replacing the stored water and the overall environmental impact is eliminated or greatly reduced.
