The Scope

We were contacted about a leaking water tank that was located underneath an apartment building in Kingston, ACT. The building was only new, but the water tank was leaking into the underground carpark and causing major problems.

There were a couple of options that were being looked at, one being to paint a membrane on the walls and floor of the water tank and the other was to install a liner.

The whole process had to be approved by the body corporate, who kept switching backward and forwards between the 2 options, they even had the water tank pumped out to Xray it for further investigation, but eventually they decided to put their faith in us and go with installing the liner.

A custom liner was manufactured, with custom flanges also being machined to seal around the existing pipe work.  With the tank measuring 14.5 x 8.5 x 2.4h, it was the biggest, and first rectangular tank that we installed a liner in.

About Water Tank Liners

Water tank liners play a pivotal role in the upkeep and durability of water storage systems. These liners, typically crafted from robust materials such as polyethylene or PVC, act as a safeguard, warding off leaks and corrosion that could jeopardize the tank’s structural soundness. They prove especially useful in harsh environmental conditions, capable of enduring severe temperatures and resisting UV harm. By preventing contamination from the tank material or external factors, water tank liners are instrumental in maintaining water purity. They are a cost-efficient method for improving the longevity and functionality of water storage systems, whether for residential, commercial, or industrial purposes. The use of water tank liners guarantees the secure and effective storage of water, rendering them an essential element in any water management plan.
