DETAILED FRP TANK EVALUATION AND REPORTS
Fiberglass-reinforced plastic tanks are built for demanding service environments, but they still require periodic inspection to identify laminate damage, chemical attack, impact damage, cracks, blisters, delamination, nozzle stress, interior wear, and other conditions that can lead to leaks, downtime, or compliance concerns.
Plastech Services inspects fiberglass tanks used in industrial, municipal, and commercial facilities, including ASTs, USTs, chemical storage tanks, process tanks, wastewater tanks, and water treatment systems.
VISUAL INSPECTION
Identify surface damage, cracks, blisters, delamination, exposed fibers, dry spots, crazing, deformation, and laminate wear.
TESTING & EVALUATION
Evaluate tank condition through appropriate inspection methods, documentation, and service-specific review.
REPAIR & RELINE PLANNING
When damage is found, Plastech can recommend repair, reline, or maintenance options based on tank condition and service requirements.
PROVEN RESULTS
RESTORING INTEGRITY TO DEGRADED FRP TANKS
Drag the slider below to see how our inspection and repair planning process can transform a severely compromised, chemically degraded fiberglass tank back to peak operational safety.
MOST FIBERGLASS TANK PROBLEMS START BELOW THE SURFACE
HIDDEN LAMINATE DAMAGE
Blisters, delamination, crazing, cracking, dry spots, and resin degradation can weaken fiberglass tank performance before obvious leaks appear.
CHEMICAL EXPOSURE
Stored chemicals, process fluids, vapors, and service conditions can degrade resin systems and affect tank integrity over time.
MISSED MAINTENANCE
Missed inspections can allow small fiberglass tank issues to become larger repair, shutdown, or compliance concerns.
COMMON FIBERGLASS TANK PROBLEMS FOUND DURING INSPECTION
Many fiberglass tank issues begin below the surface. Routine inspection helps identify early signs of FRP tank damage before they turn into leaks, emergency repairs, or costly downtime.
01. LAMINATE CRACKING
Cracks may appear from impact, stress, movement, aging, chemical exposure, or prior repair failure.
02. BLISTERING
Raised blisters can indicate resin breakdown, chemical exposure, permeation, or deeper laminate stress.
03. DELAMINATION
Delamination occurs when layers of fiberglass laminate separate, reducing structural continuity and containment reliability.
04. NOZZLE/MANWAY STRESS
Openings, fittings, nozzles, and manways are common stress points where cracks, leaks, or laminate fatigue can develop.
05. INTERIOR WEAR
Tank floors, bottoms, and low points may show abrasion, sediment wear, chemical attack, or exposed reinforcement.
06. EXTERIOR DAMANGE
Exterior surfaces may show impact damage, UV exposure, coating failure, mechanical damage, or support-related stress.
METHODOLOGY
HOW OUR FIBERGLASS TANK INSPECTION WORKS
Plastech follows a structured inspection process to help industrial teams understand the condition of their fiberglass tanks and determine the right next step.
Step 02
TANK PREPARATION
Depending on the tank and inspection scope, preparation may include draining, flushing, cleaning, access planning, and confined-space safety coordination.
Step 03
INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR INSPECTION
Our team evaluates visible FRP tank conditions including the shell, floor, roof, manways, nozzles, fittings, anchoring points, supports, exterior surfaces, and interior laminate.
Step 04
DAMAGE IDENTIFICATION
Inspection may identify cracking, blistering, delamination, crazing, dry spots, deformation, exposed fibers, chemical attack, impact damage, or previous repair concerns.
Step 05
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Plastech provides inspection findings and recommendations to help determine whether the tank should be monitored, repaired, relined, modified, or replaced.
Step 06
REPAIR OR RELINE SUPPORT
If repair work is needed, Plastech can support fiberglass tank repair, relining, nozzle modification, manway repair, and other FRP restoration services.

FIBERGLASS TANK INSPECTION FAQS
Common questions regarding our repair protocols and timelines.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD FIBERGLASS TANKS BE INSPECTED?
Inspection frequency depends on the tank type, stored contents, service conditions, regulatory requirements, owner standards, and previous inspection findings. Industrial fiberglass tanks should be inspected periodically and whenever there are signs of leakage, laminate damage, chemical attack, impact damage, or performance concerns.
WHAT DOES A FIBERGLASS TANK INSPECTION INCLUDE?
A fiberglass tank inspection may include review of the tank shell, floor, roof, interior laminate, exterior surfaces, manways, nozzles, fittings, supports, anchoring points, and previous repair areas. Inspectors look for cracks, blisters, delamination, dry spots, exposed fibers, deformation, chemical attack, and signs of leakage.
WHAT ARE THE COMMON SIGNS OF FIBEGLASS TANK DAMAGE?
Common signs include cracks, blisters, soft spots, delamination, discoloration, exposed fibers, seepage, deformation, chemical attack, worn tank bottoms, damaged fittings, stressed nozzles, and failed prior repairs.
DO FIBERGLASS TANKS NEED TO BE EMPTIED FOR INSPECTION?
Interior inspection typically requires the tank to be drained, flushed, cleaned, and prepared for safe access. The exact preparation depends on the tank contents, inspection scope, facility requirements, and safety procedures.
WHAT INFORMATION SHOULD I PROVIDED BEFORE SCHEDULING AN FRP TANK INSPECTION?
Helpful information includes tank size, stored contents, tank location, manufacturer information, date of last inspection, known issues, previous inspection reports, photos, and whether the tank is above-ground or underground.
CAN PLASTECH REPAIR DAMANGE FOUND DURING INSPECTION?
Yes. Plastech provides fiberglass tank repair, relining, modification, and maintenance support. If damage is found during inspection, Plastech can help recommend the appropriate next step based on tank condition and service requirements.
DOES PLASTECH INSPECT ABOVE GROUND AND UNDERGROUND STROAGE TANKS?
Yes. Plastech supports fiberglass tank inspection for above-ground storage tanks, underground storage tanks, and industrial FRP tanks used in chemical processing, water treatment, wastewater, and other corrosive service environments.
