The Difficulty of Storage Tank Corrosion Repair

Corrosion in storage tanks leads to leaks, safety hazards, environmental damage, and productivity loss. It often occurs in hard-to-inspect areas and worsens over time if undetected. Traditional welded repair methods are slow and risky, especially in flammable environments, requiring full tank shutdowns to safely empty, clean, then fix the damage. In some cases, welded repairs are not feasible due to operational challenges such as complex shapes, part availability, or damage severity.

Belzona Repair Compounds Offer a Safe Alternative

Banks Industrial Group uses Belzona composite tank repair methods as a safe, efficient alternative to welding. These room-temperature curing compounds match welded strength without hot work, allowing most tank repairs to be completed in one to two days—often while the tank remains in service. Our durable solutions minimize downtime and extend tank life without the time and cost of traditional maintenance. Contact us today for an estimate.
