Even the best liner systems for industrial storage tanks are built for tough conditions, but they do have a lifespan. Coatings can deteriorate, delaminate or lose their reliability to provide protection. In such cases, a fresh coating simply over the old is rarely the solution.
GVMS 1, LLC provides tank liner removal and replacement services designed to restore the interior surface and prepare it for installation of a new protective coating system that will meet current performance requirements.
Once the failed liner has been removed, the tank surface is prepared in accordance with industrial coating standards and project specifications.
The process may include:
- Complete removal of failed liner systems
- Abrasive blasting and surface cleaning
- Removal of debris and contaminants
- Surface profile preparation
- Inspection of exposed surfaces
- Preparation according to coating schedules
- Application readiness verification
Each stage is designed to create the proper foundation for a new protective liner system.
Successful liner installation begins with the proper removal of the failed coating system. Any residue, contamination or surface imperfections will impact the performance of the new liner and detract from its service life.
Our process begins with detailed cleaning of the tank interior using proper blasting techniques to remove degraded liner material and surface contamination. The purpose is to reveal a clean, well prepared substrate ready for inspection and coating application. Proper preparation helps to ensure that the new liner bonds properly and performs as intended under operating conditions.
The level of preparation that goes into applying a coating system has a significant impact on how well it works. The best adhesion, durability, and protection over time are the results of thorough cleaning, blasting, and surface preparation.
When it comes to tank liner services, GVMS 1, LLC follows all coating specifications and adheres to all industry norms. The result? Your tank is now ready to get a new liner system that will shield it from damage and allow for dependable operation for many years.
