Tank Repair

Concrete tanks, commonly used for water storage or wastewater treatment, can encounter several problems over time. Here are some common problems associated with concrete tanks:

Cracking: Cracks can develop in concrete tanks due to various factors such as shrinkage, settlement, structural overload, or temperature fluctuations. These cracks can compromise the integrity of the tank, leading to leakage and potential contamination of the stored water or wastewater.

Leaks: Over time, concrete tanks may develop leaks due to cracks, joint failures, or degradation of the waterproofing membrane. Leaks can result in the loss of stored water or the infiltration of groundwater, reducing the tank's efficiency and potentially causing damage to surrounding structures or soil.

Corrosion of Reinforcement: Concrete tanks reinforced with steel bars or mesh can experience corrosion if the concrete cover protecting the reinforcement is inadequate or if water infiltrates the structure. Corrosion weakens the steel reinforcement, leading to structural deterioration and potential failure of the tank.

Structural Degradation: Exposure to harsh environments, aggressive chemicals, or prolonged use can cause concrete tanks to deteriorate over time. This degradation can manifest as surface erosion, spalling, scaling, or loss of structural strength. Structural degradation compromises the tank's ability to withstand load and can result in collapse or significant damage.
