Sprinkler tanks can be refurbished using two methods; the epoxy coating system and the flexible lining system. The flexible lining system is generally used in circumstances where tanks have an existing faulty lining or epoxy coating is not a viable option.
The sprinkler epoxy coating system involves the draining and cleaning of the vessel, followed by fibreglass repairs to all leaking and badly corroded areas. The tanks internal surfaces are then cleaned and a three coat epoxy paint system is then applied to prevent any further corrosion.
The flexible lining system involves the draining and cleaning of the vessel, followed by the removal of one lower tank panel. A geomembrane protection layer is then applied to the sprinkler tanks base and walls to protect the lining. The lining is then positioned at the base of the tank; the lining walls are then hoisted into position and secured just below the sprinkler tanks lid. The lining material itself is used as a gasket for all sprinkler tank connections.
During the sprinkler repair or refurbishment procedure, a number of health and safety issues have to be addressed. All our engineers are Confined Space, Working at Height, Mobile Scaffold and First Aid Trained.

Tank refurbishment can be carried out using the epoxy coating system or the flexible lining system. The flexible lining system is generally used in circumstances where sprinkler tanks have an existing faulty lining or are beyond manual repair. The Epoxy coating system consists of draining and cleaning of the vessel, followed by fibreglass repairs to all leaking and corroded areas. Once the internal surfaces are cleaned a three coat epoxy paint system is then applied to prevent further corrosion.
