Tank Lining

Specialist Coatings have a range of materials can be applied to a wide range of different substrates including mild steel, stainless steel, fiberglass and concrete. We have materials that can even be applied underwater. We have materials applied to damp concrete surfaces and to very new “Green” concrete.

We even have a dust-free Nu-Tank potable water lining tank system with a 48hr return to service. We have our own QA and Inspection service to check the condition of tank linings, including the coating thickness and micro-porosity.

Drawing on years of international experience in corrosion prevention, we offer a specialise, comprehensive service for the on-site lining for all types of industrial storage and process tanks, no matter how big or small.

Applying an internal lining to a tank in-situ is always more cost-effective than replacing the tank and is certainly more environmentally friendly. At SCGB we understand, however, that the ongoing purity of the contained product itself is your first and foremost priority.

By adding neutral linings to the internal surfaces of your vessel, we are able to guarantee the safe containment of your product with zero contamination.

To ensure the maximum lifespan of our service to you, our range of impervious internal linings bond permanently to mild and stainless steel, fiberglass and all types of concrete. This guarantees that the lining will last the lifetime of the vessel.

Incorporating the latest technology in corrosion prevention, we can offer you the most time-efficient solution to any storage vessel problem, with the minimum amount of disruption. We use materials and techniques suitable for a wide range of chemical and temperature environments, including underwater applications; we even have a dust-free Nu-Tank potable water lining tank system with a 48 hour return to service.

Our tank lining materials are normally based on epoxy resins, vinyl ester resins, biphenyl ester resins, MIO, fiberglass laminates and glass flake technology.

Tank Inspection

In addition to this, we also supply our own QA and inspection service checking the condition of new and existing tank linings, including the coating thickness and micro-porosity.

Although many bulk storage tanks are now located within a secondary containment bunded area, many have been constructed from materials that are not resistant to the chemicals that are being stored in the tanks or vessels located within them. In many situations the concrete is porous.

Secondary Bung Containment Lining

At SCGB we offer a service of secondary containment bund lining solutions. These are resistant to a wide range of chemical products used in industry, including aggressive and harsh chemical environments as well as relatively inert chemicals.

With time-efficiency and convenience at heart, we also have a range of ultra-fast hardening polyuria materials that are completely elastmeric and flexible for treating areas that are located on unstable surfaces such as loose shale. These areas can be walked upon within minutes following application.

It is essential that all liquid materials are stored correctly and safely and in the event of spillage or an accident, aggressive and harsh chemicals will be contained in the catchment area and recovered with the minimum of losses.

These measures are particularly important when considering that the Environment Agency and Europe are taking an ever closer watch regarding the Control of Major Accident Hazard prevention (COMAH) and in the event of an incident of the effect it would have on the environment.

Our secondary containment linings are normally based on epoxy resins, vinyl ester resins, biphenyl ester resins, fiberglass laminates and glass flake technology.
