Tank Maintenance
Tank Maintenance
Unmaintained liquid storage tanks present significant risks to both human and environmental health, as industry regulations are becoming more stringent at both local and global levels.
Neglected tank storage systems often face risks such as contamination, chemical exposure, physical damage, and potential explosions, particularly when cleaning, repairs, or maintenance are necessary.
Whether your facility uses concrete, stainless steel, or galvanized steel panel tanks, each type requires specific considerations regarding its contents and maintenance management.
Our Maintenance Services
Pump Repairs
We regularly evaluate the condition of your tank’s pumps, providing replacement recommendations well before any potential failure.
Pest Control & Vermin-Proofing
We eliminate infestations of insects, birds, rodents, and reptiles. To help reduce contamination from bird droppings, trapped animals, and rodent activity, we install a variety of vermin-proofing components.
Pipe Maintenance
We restore piping, connections, and fittings, while also assessing the condition of the pipe network and clearing any clogged areas.
Access Upgrades
Platform installations, hatch replacements, ladder and stairway repairs, railing upgrades, and a variety of other safety-related installation services.
Flushes & Refills
Tank flushing is a crucial process for removing sludge from the bottom of tanks. Frequent sludge removal is necessary, especially when tanks are regularly opened and exposed to air.
Custom Modifications
Inquire about additional post-assembly accessories such as signage, labeling, or fencing, and we’ll discuss customized tank component solutions with you!
Panel Tank Maintenance Challenges
Regular maintenance of commercial and industrial liquid storage tanks is essential for ensuring the long-term durability of your assets. Well-maintained tanks also contribute to a safe working environment by preventing health hazards like contaminated drinking water and by confirming their structural integrity.
Establishing and executing a maintenance strategy not only reduces workplace or site risks but also sets a baseline condition for future restoration or refurbishment efforts.
It’s crucial to keep detailed records of all maintenance activities and upgrades, and whenever possible, use the same company for each inspection. Tank Builders Philippines will manage and continue maintenance work in alignment with previous services and their outcomes, ensuring your tanks are always in the hands of skilled and experienced professionals.
Why Maintenance is Critical
The primary goal of water storage tank maintenance is to minimize the risk of the following issues:
- Sludge Accumulation – Solid particles eventually settle at the bottom of the tank, forming a dense, sticky sludge. If not removed, this sludge can cause clogged pipelines and filters, leading to contaminated tank contents.
- MIC – Microbial bacterial growth in poorly maintained tanks contaminates water supplies and causes corrosion of seams, bolts, and other surface structures.
- Excess Moisture Accumulation – Moisture and air quality impact your tanks in various ways, leading to leaks, seepage, internal surface damage, and contaminated water reserves.
- Compliance Issues – Unsafe commercial storage tanks involved in a workplace incident can lead to non-compliance and other liability concerns.
- Structural Failures – When structural or panel conditions deteriorate significantly, tank assets can become unsafe for continued use and may need to be disassembled immediately in some cases.
