Water storage tanks are essential installations for numerous businesses in the construction, industrial, hospitality and healthcare sectors. Over time, however, these tanks can experience wear and tear, which can then cause leaks, corrosion and contamination risks, which is bad news for businesses.
If you think your business’s water tank is reaching the end of its life, replacing it is not the only option. Water tank refurbishment is a cost-effective solution that can save your business both time and money. In this article, we’ll talk through the benefits of refurbishing your water tank.
Cost Savings
One of the biggest benefits of refurbishing a water tank is the significant cost savings. Choosing complete water tank replacement involves the price of the new tank itself, but also the labour and expenses related to the removal and disposal of the old tank.
Refurbishing, however, means you can extend the lifespan of your existing tank at a fraction of the cost. If the tank is still structurally sound, there’s also no need to worry about issues like corrosion, leaks and lining damage, as refurbishment can address these issues just as well as replacement does.
Minimal Downtime
Your water tank being out of service can cause major disruption to business operations. The downtime can impact production schedules or services. Refurbishment, on the other hand, is a faster solution. Our skilled engineers can refurbish a water tank on-site with minimal interruption to your business, so you can get on with your day-to-day running.
Improved Longevity
Regular water tank maintenance can extend the lifespan of your tank, so it’ll last much longer before you need to arrange a complete replacement. Refurbishing the tank also improves its overall performance and reliability, meaning you can rely on it for a consistent water supply, which is essential for cooling systems, firefighting, and industrial manufacturing processes.
Health and Safety Compliance
As water tanks deteriorate over time, they might not meet health and safety regulations. This can be because the tank is no longer structurally sound. There may also be the risk of contamination to either the public water supply through back-siphonage, the water in the tank, or the processes it supplies further downstream. But with refurbishment, you can ensure your water tank always meets health and safety standards, protecting your water supply and avoiding any regulation penalties.
