Proper maintenance is essential to ensure your water tank performs safely, efficiently and reliably. At Franklin Hodge, we offer a comprehensive range of industrial water tank maintenance services, including tank lining and tank refurbishment.
Our industrial water tank maintenance services are designed to keep your tank in top condition, ensuring it delivers exceptional longevity.
Why Industrial Water Tank Maintenance Matters
Whether you use your tank for agriculture, industrial processes or fire suppression, regular maintenance is essential:
Preventing Contamination
Over time, sediment, algae and bacteria can build up in your tank. Routine cleaning and maintenance are essential for ensuring this build-up does not cause the water to become unsafe or unusable.
Avoiding Structural Damage
Regular maintenance and inspections can help spit wear and tear. With our water tank maintenance services, we’ll look for wear and tear, like rust or leaks. Spotting these early is essential as it helps prevent them from turning into costly breakdowns.
Operational Needs
A well-maintained tank will perform better, for longer. This ensures you always have the supply of water when you need it, so there are no disruptions when it comes to business operations.
Regulation Compliance
Regular maintenance checks your tank is in line with water tank regulations. This is essential for ensuring your company and water storage is compliant.
Franklin Hodge Water Industrial Tank Maintenance Services
We offer comprehensive industrial water tank maintenance services, including drone surveys, underwater camera surveys, tank lining replacement/refurbishment and tank repairs.
Drone Surveys
Using cameras mounted on drones we can inspect the entire exterior of your tank, getting to all the hard-to-reach areas without putting anyone at risk. Using drones offers more flexibility as well as greater precision, plus it means we can pass on cost savings to our customers.
Underwater Cameras
We use a remote-operated vehicle (ROV) mounted with a submersible camera. This films the interior of the tank, helping us create an assessment report. Doing this means you can avoid the tank needing to be drained.
Tank Lining
Maintaining the lining is just as important as maintaining the tank itself. We can supply and fit butyl rubber or EPDM materials, which are ideal for water tanks. These provide a completely waterproof seal and, with their closely packed molecular structure, are extremely resistant to the transmission of liquids or vapour.
Maintaining Your Water Tank
In between professional water tank maintenance services, there are a few things you can do to keep your tank in good working order:
- Inspect it for leaks or structural damage every six months
- Clean the inside and outside of the tank to remove sediment, debris and any algae that’s built up
- Drain the tank once a year and replace the water, to remove sediment
- Test the water quality monitoring system frequently, to make sure it’s giving accurate readings
- Prepare the tank for any significant changes in temperature, for example, if you know the temperature is going to drop below freezing
