The scope

The requirement for this job was to install a liner in a very old, square, in-ground water tank that had been hand dug out and poured in 6-inch sections at a time, by the owner’s father.

We weren’t the only company contacted about fitting a liner in this water tank, but we were the only one that instilled the faith of the owner in our ability to successfully undertake and complete the job.

Once the tank was completely empty and the root systems removed, we could see exactly what we were dealing with, and it was then that we could tell that the structural integrity of 2 of the tank walls had been compromised by a large horizontal separation with a vertical crack below that the ground had started to force inwards.

Not being one to ever be beaten by a challenge, Leigh put his problem-solving cap on and suggested reinforcing the walls by installing bracing to the inside of the tank walls. The owners were happy to run with Leigh’s suggestion and once the bracing was in place, we were able to continue as normal with the installation of the liner.  Everything else went to plan and at the end of the day we had another very happy customer.

We also had a little helper for the day, the cute little Jasper.

About Water Tank Liners

Water tank liners are an essential component in the maintenance and longevity of water storage systems. These liners, often made from durable materials like polyethylene or PVC, serve as a protective layer, preventing leaks and corrosion that could compromise the tank’s integrity. They are particularly beneficial in areas with harsh environmental conditions, as they can withstand extreme temperatures and resist UV damage. Water tank liners also play a crucial role in preserving water quality by preventing contamination from the tank material or external sources. Whether it’s for residential, commercial, or industrial use, water tank liners are a cost-effective solution for enhancing the lifespan and performance of your water storage system. Their application ensures the safe and efficient storage of water, making them an indispensable part of any water management strategy.
