Tank Restoration & Lining
FRP / GRP Lining
Fiberglass lining that protects tanks and vessels from corrosion and chemical attack.
FRP / GRP Lining for Tanks and Vessels
An FRP/GRP lining gives steel or concrete tanks and vessels a new corrosion- and chemical-resistant surface, avoiding replacement of the structure behind it.
The laminate and resin are chosen for the stored liquid and temperature, applied over a properly prepared substrate, then inspected and tested.
Tank Restoration & LiningWhat We Offer
New-tank protection
Corrosion protection built into new steel or concrete tanks.
Restoration of ageing tanks
A fresh protective surface inside tanks that are leaking or deteriorating.
Steel and concrete substrates
Lining systems for both common tank substrates.
Resin selection
Resin matched to the stored liquid and operating temperature.
Waterproofing benefit
A continuous laminate that also seals the substrate.
Documented quality checks
Inspection and test results recorded for handover.
Lining Scope
- Application
- Internal lining of tanks, vessels and containment
- Substrate
- Steel or concrete, prepared to the lining system requirement
- Chemical / service requirement
- Stored liquid, concentration and temperature reviewed to select the resin system
- Surface preparation
- Cleaning, profiling and repair before lining
- Lining system
- FRP/GRP laminate — resin and reinforcement matched to the service
- Inspection & testing
- Visual inspection, thickness checks, Barcol hardness and spark / holiday testing where applicable
Where It’s Used
How We Apply an FRP Lining
- 01
Assess the substrate
Condition, defects and moisture of the steel or concrete.
- 02
Prepare the surface
Cleaning, profiling and repair to the system requirement.
- 03
Apply the lining
Laminate built up to the specified thickness.
- 04
Inspect and test
Thickness, hardness and holiday testing as applicable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can an FRP lining be applied to?
Typically steel and concrete tanks and vessels once the substrate is suitably prepared. Substrate condition is checked during assessment.
How long does an FRP lining last?
Service life depends on the stored product, temperature, substrate condition and surface preparation. We advise on expected performance for your case.
How is the lining inspected?
Visual inspection, thickness checks, Barcol hardness and spark or holiday testing are carried out as applicable.
