Water Tank

AIS Taloja

Problem:

Main frame of the water tank was badly damaged due to corrosion of the embedded steel.

Solution:

• Mainframe was treated for corrosion with anticorrosive coatings and corrosion inhibitors
• Cracked sections were grouted with epoxy grout
• Main frame section was rebuilt using polymer modified mortar and wrapped with GFRP Wraps.
• Building up of the section and application of weather proof paint.

Preparation of a working platform below the mainframe was a major challenge involved in the project.
