Tank Repairs
Structural repair: Engineered Composite repairs can be customised for external and internal strengthening of steel and concrete tanks. When installed internally, the systems serve as a structural linker restoring steel loss while protecting against harmful chemicals in immersion. The system can be used externally for hoop strengthening, fix holes in the shell and tank roofs.
Capabilities
- Repair leaks, reinforce thin-wall sections, and structural deficiencies using a patch or full hoop band.
- API 653 Compliant for repairing tanks originally constructed to AWWA D100, AWWA D103, API 620, API 650, BS EN 13121-2 and PD 5500
- Minimal to no downtime without hotwork
Corrosion Protection
VISCOTAQ ® is a state-of-the-art solution for the elimination of salt, osmosis problems, adhesion problems, surface preparation concerns and more. This unique coating utilises Van Der Waals bonding principles to create adhesion at a molecular level. This unique amorphous a-polar poly-olefin formula exhibits permanent wetting characteristics, 100% inert with high chemical resistance and allows for forgiving on surface preparation before installation.
Capabilities
- Viscous-elastic amorphous a-polar poly-olefin
- Immediate adhesion to substrate without primer
- Remains in pliable and flexible state
- Permanent wetting characteristics
- Wide temperature range up to +100°C/+202°F
- Glass transition temperature <-40°C/-40°F
- Self-healing characteristics
- Eliminates MIC
- No curing time
- Forgiving on surface preparation (minimum commercial wire brush)
- Cohesive fracture (peel test)
- 100% inert formulation, no solvents, no primers
- Material remains in semi-solid state over entire lifetime
- Virtually impermeable to moisture
- No problems with salts or osmosis
- Extremely low cathodic disbondment values (0-3mm/0-0,12” to ASTM G8)
- Excellent dripping/sliding resistance due to high yield point
- Weather resistant/UV resistant
- Easy failure-free application
