Apartment Building in Bournemouth: Water Tank Lining

A privately owned apartment block located in the centre of Bournemouth, required two galvanised cold water tanks situated in the roof space to be relined. Each tank holds approximately 9,000 litres of water and required a potable water tank lining system to comply with current water legislation and improve maintenance. Challenges As a residential property, an uninterrupted water supply was required at all times. To accommodate this required, the work was carried out over two separate site visits. The tanks, constructed of riveted heavy galvanised steel plates, are likely to be the original tanks installed during the 1930s. The floors displayed advanced stages of corrosion and very deep pitting. Four holes developed in the floor during surface preparation and the removal of rust scale.
