Hotel in Bournemouth: Potable Water Tank Lining

The hotel in Bournemouth had three galvanised steel cold water storage tanks located on the hotel roof. All three tanks required lining with a potable water tank lining system to ensure they comply with current water regulations and can be maintained more easily. Challenges The work on all three tanks had to be carried out during the hotel’s three day shutdown period. The two larger tanks were constructed of riveted heavy steel and likely to be the original tanks that were installed when the hotel was built during the 1930s. Both riveted water tanks displayed advanced stages of corrosion and very deep pitting. A hole was found in the floor of a smaller, galvanised steel water tank and it was being held together by rust.
