Durable, Corrosion-Resistant Composite Tank Repair and Reinforcement

Tanks can experience failures due to a variety of factors, often tied to specific service conditions.

With expertise spanning industries from Nuclear Power to Oil and Gas, FRP Repair Solutions provides reliable, maintenance-free structural reinforcement solutions for tanks affected by corrosion, erosion, mechanical damage, or chemical degradation.

We work with you to develop the optimal repair strategy, minimizing operational downtime and helping you avoid the costly and time-intensive process of tank replacement.

Traditional Repair Process vs. Carbon Fiber Repair

Conventional tank repair methods for addressing through-wall failures or severe corrosion typically involve welding a steel plate over the damaged area. This process can be labor-intensive, challenging, and time-consuming, often causing damage to any existing coatings in the heat-affected zone. Additionally, once the steel plate is installed, the entire repair area requires re-coating to protect against future corrosion.

An excellent alternative is using a composite carbon fiber reinforcement system. Unlike welding, carbon fiber repair involves no hot work, and since it’s non-metallic, it won’t corrode like metal alternatives.

Carbon fiber composites are gaining popularity in industrial tank repairs due to their resistance to corrosion, superior strength compared to steel, long-lasting durability, easy application, and cold curing properties. These advantages make it a highly effective and efficient solution.

Thanks to carbon fiber’s versatility, it can be applied to tanks of any size or condition, regardless of the damage location or operating environment. Whether you need to patch a small leak or completely rebuild a tank, carbon fiber can be tailored to provide the best repair solution. FRP Repair Solutions offers designed composite solutions to deliver optimal performance without requiring elevated temperature curing.

For internal tank applications, carbon fiber composites also offer long-term protection against internal corrosion and erosion.
