CASE STUDY

Potable Water Tank Repair

Client: Harrogate Hotel

Industry: Industrial

Scope: Potable Water Tank Repair

Date: January 2012

Location: UK

Products: RS 500P & RA 500M

OVERVIEW

The hotel’s potable water tanks were approximately 90 years old and were in an extremely rusty condition. The client was looking for a coating system which could restore the tanks to “as good as new” condition, as the cost of replacing the tanks far outweighed the cost of relining them.

CHALLENGE

The tanks were extremely rusty and deeply pitted. Working in very cold conditions and within a strict time-frame added to the difficulty of this project.

SOLUTION

Manual preparation was selected as the surface preparation method. One primer coat of solvent-free, wet & rust tolerant Epo-chem™ RS 500P was applied first. This was followed by two topcoats of solvent-free, wet tolerant Epo-chem™ RA 500M.

OUTCOME

The work was completed within 3 working days. Substantial cost savings were achieved by choosing to reline the tanks as opposed to purchasing new tanks. This system is NSF Certified for fresh drinking water applications.

BENEFITS

• Solvent-free
• Restored to “as good as new” condition
• Reduced H&S and Fire Precaution
• No grit blasting
• Substantial time and cost savings
