Proper waterproofing is essential for maximizing the lifespan and performance of your above-ground storage tanks. Raven Engineering Group offers specialized services to analyze your infrastructure and implement customized waterproofing systems for comprehensive protection.
The Importance of Tank Waterproofing
- Prevent Leaks: Impermeable barriers prevent ingress of water and leakage of contents, avoiding environmental hazards.
- Minimize Corrosion: Waterproofing enhances structural integrity by reducing oxidation and material breakdown internally and externally.
- Strengthen Stability: Advanced coatings and membranes reinforce overall tank strength and durability.
- Prolong Asset Life: Effective waterproofing solutions greatly extend operational lifespans, optimizing ROI.
Waterproofing Options for Storage Tanks
- Interior Liners: Custom-fitted, chemically resistant liners create leak-proof barriers and prevent internal corrosion.
- External Coatings: Specialized polymer coatings shield exterior tank surfaces from water, UV rays, impacts and other damage.
- Sealants: Liquid membranes reinforce water resistance for joints, rivets, seams and connections.
- Cathodic Protection: Electrochemical systems counteract corrosion for tanks and pipelines.
Critical Factors Influencing Waterproofing Selection
- Tank Composition: The optimal solutions differ for concrete, steel, fiberglass and other tank materials.
- Storage Contents: Waterproofing must be compatible with stored solvents, fuels, water, waste and other contents.
- Climate Conditions: Coatings must withstand humidity, coastal air, freezing, heat and other localized exposure threats.
- Maintenance Requirements: Ease of access, repair costs and lifespans help determine ideal systems.
