Corroded and Leaking Cold Water Storage Tanks. London Tavern

The Client Specialist Coatings GB Ltd. Fast turnaround for emergency tank repair to leaking cold water storage tanks. 20 years + new working life expected. Trafalgar Tavern, Greenwich, London Leaking Galvanised Steel Water Tanks. Wedding Booked!! During 2018 major refurbishment works at the Trafalgar Tavern it was unexpectedly discovered that the cold-water storage tanks in the roof void were badly corroded and had started seeping water. The tanks in question were a pair of galvanised steel welded tanks of an unknown age. Both tanks had started to seep small amounts of water through some locations on the tank walls and also around the pipe connections. Challenges This had to be treated as an emergency repair situation because the client had a wedding booked the following weekend and there was no time to replace the tanks. All works had to be completed within a single site visit and as quickly as possible. The client was looking for a long-term repair solution for the tanks. The tanks were located within the roof void of the building with the only access via a roof hatch. Both tanks exhibited extreme and advanced corrosion.
