Project Details

Severe internal corrosion with many areas measuring below 50% wall thickness and several through-wall failures was discovered in a 400,000-gallon, 60 ft. diameter raw water storage tank. The tank had not been internally protected with an immersion-grade coating system upon installation ten years prior.

The Advanced FRP team applied an internal carbon fiber composite reinforcement system with an immersion-grade coating that provided corrosion protection and structural reinforcement and a 30-year, maintenance-free life extension for the tank.
