Cylindrical Water Tank Reline Birmingham

Project Brief

Following a routine insurance inspection, the team at this shopping centre in the Midlands were alerted to serious internal corrosion within their large cylindrical sprinkler tank. The tank formed a critical part of the centre’s fire suppression system, and its deteriorated condition posed a significant risk - not just to safety, but to the centre’s operational continuity.

A full tank replacement was quickly dismissed due to high costs and the complex nature of access to the area. However, repairing the existing tank also posed a challenge - the only access hatch was positioned at the top of the tank, making safe entry and exit for engineers extremely difficult. The site needed a practical, cost-effective solution that would extend the tank’s service life without compromising on compliance or safety. Titan was brought in to develop a bespoke reline strategy that met all of these requirements.

Solution

Our team devised and delivered a comprehensive reline strategy to restore the tank and ensure it remained fit for purpose for the long term. Our full turnkey proposal included:

  • New Low-Level Access Hatch: A new hatch was fabricated and installed at the base of the tank, dramatically improving accessibility and ensuring safer entry for this project and future inspections or maintenance.

  • Internal Cleaning and Preparation: With access resolved, the team thoroughly cleaned and prepared the tank’s internal surfaces to ensure optimum adhesion of the lining system.

  • Polyurethane Coating Application: A WRAS-approved polyurethane coating was applied internally. This advanced solution forms a tough, flexible, seamless membrane that protects against corrosion, withstands structural movement, and is designed for long-term performance in water-retaining environments.

  • Turnkey Delivery: The works were carried out by Titan’s in-house engineers, ensuring full accountability, precise coordination, and excellent communication from start to finish.

Key Benefits Delivered

 

  • Safe Maintenance Access: The new base-level access hatch means the tank can now be safely entered and exited in line with best practice.

  • Significant Cost Savings: Relining the tank rather than replacing it saved the client thousands, without compromising on performance or compliance.

  • Long-Term Protection: The polyurethane lining is guaranteed for 10 years, giving the client peace of mind and excellent value for money.

  • Seamless Execution: The project was delivered safely, on time, and to a high standard, without disruption to the centre’s day-to-day operations.
