Tank lining and coatings

Interior linings and exterior coatings for storage tanks, containment, and tank farms. Matched to what the tank holds and where it sits.

Overview

Tank linings that last

Tank lining is specialized work. The lining has to match the tank material and its contents, be mixed and applied right, and be inspected before the tank goes back in service. We’ve been coating tanks inside and out since 1983.

Linings for the inside of a tank

An interior tank lining protects the steel or concrete from what’s inside and keeps the contents clean. The material depends on the tank and what it holds. A lining that works for water won’t work for a solvent. We use epoxy linings for most industrial tank coating work, chosen for the chemical the tank holds. Our crews are trained in chemical compatibility, mix on site, and check film thickness as they go.

Coatings for the outside of a tank

Exterior tank coatings are about weather and corrosion. Epoxy gives the toughness and a polyurethane topcoat protects it from UV. For tanks with temperature-sensitive contents, a reflective or UV topcoat keeps the heat down.

Confined space work

Tank interiors are confined spaces. Our crews are trained in confined space entry, and every tank job gets a site-specific safety plan with daily safety checks.

FAQ

Common questions

More FAQs
How long is a tank out of service for a new lining?

It depends on the tank size, how much prep the surface needs, and the cure time of the lining. We set the schedule around your downtime window and give you the return-to-service date in the estimate.

Do you line potable water tanks?

Yes, with linings listed for drinking water contact under NSF/ANSI 61.

Can you coat tanks in a working tank farm?

Yes. Tank farms are a regular part of our work. We coordinate with your operations, work one tank at a time, and handle the logistics of large or remote sites.
