• Tank replacement and capacity upgrades

• Foundation and drainage corrections

• Coatings/corrosion protection programs

• Schedule-controlled tie-ins that maintain fire protection coverage

3) Condensate Storage Tanks (CSTs) and Steam-System Support Tanks

Used in power and industrial boiler systems to stabilize feedwater supply.

Common project needs:

• Tank refurbishment and corrosion protection

• Tie-ins during outages and shutdowns

• Foundation/support improvements

• Area preservation to reduce repeat maintenance

4) Chemical Dosing and Treatment Tanks

Used for water treatment (pH control, disinfection, anti-scalants, inhibitors) and process support.

Common project needs:

• Compatibility-driven tank replacement

• Secondary containment upgrades and coatings

• Drainage and spill control improvements

• Safe access and improved maintainability

5) Cooling Tower Basins and Associated Tanks

Support stable cooling water operations and reduce downtime risk.

Common project needs:

• Basin repairs and sealing

• Protective coatings/linings

• Corrosion protection for surrounding steel and anchors

• Shutdown-window execution when cooling capacity must be protected

Best Practices for Long-Term Utility Tank Reliability

Facilities typically get better outcomes when they:

1. Treat foundations and drainage as reliability-critical

2. Maintain coatings and corrosion protection before degradation spreads

3. Seal joints/penetrations and repair cracks early

4. Build safe access for inspection and routine maintenance

5. Plan tie-ins and transitions around outages to reduce operational risk
