Water Storage Tank Rehabilitation
Broader planning for existing water storage infrastructure. A rehabilitation scope can involve multiple asset needs, which distinguishes it from a routine recoating project.
- Rehabilitation planning for existing water storage assets.
- Scopes that may involve more than recoating.
- Coating and preparation work within a larger project.
When recoating is not the whole story
Beyond a recoat
Some tanks need more than a new finish. A rehabilitation scope can involve multiple asset needs, so planning starts broader than a routine recoating project.
Multiple needs, one project
Rehabilitation may bring several needs together on the same asset. The scope is defined project by project, based on what the tank and the requirements call for.
Documented involvement
Recorded work includes elevated water tanks in Rising Sun, Indiana and Drayton, North Dakota, and a 1.5 million gallon composite elevated tank in Valdosta, Georgia, including work as a subcontractor to larger tank fabricators. See recorded projects.
How rehabilitation is approached
Rehabilitation looks at an existing water storage asset as a whole rather than a single finish. That can mean a scope with more than one need, planned around the asset and the project.
Coating and preparation remain central to much of this work, and they sit inside a larger view of what the tank requires. Detailed repair offerings depend on what is confirmed for a given project.
The company works as part of a project team, and not every associated task is offered independently or performed in-house. The specifics are confirmed as each project is defined.
What a rehabilitation scope can include
- Coating and surface preparation, inside and out.
- Safety and access hardware, such as a fall prevention device, vandal guard, step-off platform, roof handrail, and painter's railing.
- Tank hardware, such as manways and gaskets, roof hatches and vents, silt rings, sample taps, overflow modifications, and cathodic clips.
- Steel repairs, such as pit welding and lower ring repairs.
- Close-out documentation, including DFT verification reports and floor thickness checks.
- Work as a subcontractor to larger tank fabricators.
Useful details to provide
- The asset and its current condition.
- The needs you are aware of and any work already planned.
- Project documents, specifications, or engineer input you have.
- The project location and site access.
- Your desired timing and any key dates.

Tank rehabilitation questions
A recoating project focuses on the coating itself. Rehabilitation planning takes a broader view of the asset and can involve more than one need, so the scope is defined for the project.
Not every associated task is offered independently or performed in-house. The company has worked as a subcontractor in rehabilitation projects, and the scope is confirmed for each one.
Project documents and engineer input help define the scope. Share what you have and it can be reviewed as part of the discussion.
Projects have taken the team from North Dakota to Louisiana and up and down the east coast, including elevated tanks in Rising Sun, Indiana, Drayton, North Dakota and Valdosta, Georgia. See the projects page for details, or contact us to discuss how your scope compares.
A common guideline is an inspection at least every five years, and that is the interval noted in water district records for one of the projects the company has worked on. Requirements vary by state, owner, and the tank’s own specification, so check what applies to your tank. If an inspection points to coating or rehabilitation work, share the report and we can discuss the scope.
