Fiberglass Tank Inspection & Testing
We provide detailed fiberglass tank inspection reports using thickness testing and visual assessments to identify resin bloom or laminate wear before a failure occurs.
Secondary Containment & Floor Coatings
Protect your facility with high-performance coatings designed for sodium hypochlorite and alum storage areas. Our coatings ensure your secondary containment meets all regulatory standards.
Potable Water & Chemical Feed System Repairs
We utilize plastic welding to repair chemical feed skids and thermoplastic piping, ensuring leak-free performance for both wastewater and potable water applications.
Pulp & Paper Mill FAQs
How do you repair leaking chemical feed systems or thermoplastic piping?
The team utilizes precision industrial plastic welding to repair chemical feed skids and thermoplastic piping on-site. This technique creates leak-free performance for both potable water and wastewater applications, effectively restoring aging delivery systems without the need for full replacement.
What is involved in a professional fiberglass tank inspection and testing?
PlasTech provides comprehensive fiberglass tank inspection services using visual assessments and thickness testing to identify early signs of wear like resin bloom or laminate degradation. These detailed reports allow facility managers to address structural issues before a catastrophic failure occurs.
What coatings are recommended for secondary containment areas and how do they help meet regulatory standards?
We provide high-performance protective coatings specifically engineered for the aggressive environments of secondary containment and floor areas. For areas housing sodium hypochlorite or alum, we typically recommend heavy-duty epoxy or polyurea systems that offer exceptional chemical resistance and durability. These coatings are applied to create a seamless, non-porous barrier over concrete or steel, ensuring that your secondary containment meets EPA 40 CFR 264.175 and other regulatory mandates. In addition to chemical protection, these systems can be customized with non-slip textures to enhance worker safety in damp or caustic environments. Proper surface preparation and precision application by an experienced contractor are critical to ensuring the coating system provides long-term protection against leaks and spills.
Can you repair or reline existing fiberglass tanks instead of replacing them during a plant shutdown?
Yes, our fiberglass services include both fiberglass tank repair and fiberglass tank relining options that are ideal for execution during a scheduled shutdown. Relining involves the application of a new internal corrosion barrier using advanced resins, which can extend the service life of a vessel by 10 to 15 years. This is often a more cost-effective and timely solution than full tank replacement, particularly for large stationary tanks or underground storage tanks (USTs) where the logistics of removal are complex. By performing these repairs during a shutdown, we ensure that the structural integrity of your water treatment assets is restored without interrupting the facility's production cycle.
Does PlasTech handle the installation of new fiberglass piping or just the repair of existing lines?
Our expert team manages both fiberglass pipe repair and install projects for a wide variety of industrial and municipal applications. As an ISO 9001 certified specialty contractor, we follow industry-leading procedures to ensure that new installations are tailored to the specific flow and chemical resistance requirements of your facility. Our services include the installation of leading brands such as Red Thread and Green Thread piping, as well as the application of advanced pipe wraps to reinforce aging sections. By combining pre-fabrication with precision field craftsmanship, we ensure that your wastewater management system remains safe, long-lasting, and leak-free.
What industrial sectors do you serve and how do you customize services for each?
Since 1988, we have provided specialty contracting for both municipalities and industrial plants, including sectors such as chemical processing, pulp and paper mills, power generation, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Our approach is to customize our services, whether it is fiberglass tank inspection, protective coatings, or mechanical contracting, to the specific environmental stressors of each industry. For municipalities, we focus on maintaining the longevity of potable water infrastructure and ensuring environmental compliance for wastewater treatment. For industrial clients, we emphasize rapid outage response and high-performance solutions for aggressive chemical environments to ensure continuous, safe operation.
