Field-Erected Steel Tank Repair

T BAILEY LLC’s industrial tank repair division is ready to put over 25 years of experience to work for you by ensuring that your shop-built tank or field-erected tanks are up to code. We service several types of tanks including wastewater tanks, chemical tanks, and fuel tanks are among some of the specialized commercial tank repair services we offer.

Our trained professionals pride themselves on being able to repair any issue, at any location quickly. It doesn’t matter if your tank is on poor soil, in a complex foundation, at a tight site, or in a remote location — our expert crews will get the repairs done and have your tank back in service in record time.

Before working with our team, it is encouraged that you have an independent inspection firm give your tank a comprehensive examination. Depending on your tank type, the examination crew may include NACE Level II/III, API 653, and AWWA D100 inspectors.

After the inspection, you will be given a detailed report with the findings, and it is this report that T BAILEY LLC’s personnel will use when recommending and planning repairs for your tank.

Shop-Built or Field-Erected Water Tank Repair

Safety regulations and AWWA standards have changed a lot over the last several years, which means that many older water tanks are due for maintenance and repair work to be brought up to code. The water tank repair work T BAILEY LLC does include:

Seismic Upgrades

Our experienced professionals will make sure that your shop-built and field-erected water tanks meet current AWWA D100 seismic standards. This could entail:

  • Foundation repairs or modifications
  • Adding additional anchoring systems
  • Tank shell & structure repair
  • Flex joint repair at the foundation
  • Structural modifications to elevated tanks

Corrosion Repair & Prevention

Corrosion Repair

Constructing steel tanks without seal welding the interior roof plate seams and structural plate laps above the water line was common practice. While it may be true that seal welds aren’t required for structural strength, we now know that forgoing these welds results in rust bleeding, leading to corrosion inside the tank.

Our water tank repair division can seal weld all un-welded seams and laps above the waterline — preventing corrosion and securing your tank’s integrity for years to come.

Other corrosion repairs could include:

  • Filling holes with welds
  • Installing tank bottom patches
  • Replacing tank’s entire floor

Tank Repair & Updating Safety Features

It may be that some of the safety elements on your shop-built or field-erected tank need to be updated to reflect current requirements. This may include modifying or replacing some of the following components:

  • Safety climb systems
  • Tie-off systems
  • Ladders
  • Platforms
  • Stair treads
  • Handrails

From gas and fuel tank repairs to repairing storage tanks for chemicals, we offer composite solutions that are guaranteed to last for many years.

There was no better intermediary for ensuring the construction project was always running smoothly and at its peak. They were a great coordinator and leader; able to convince everyone from subcontractors to engineers to follow their lead. This is because they exude knowledge and expertise that inspires trust in their work.

The Nyanza Tank and Booster Replacement had many scheduling hurdles to overcome by T Bailey. The District needed to build the new 2MG tank and booster station while keeping the existing online. T Bailey was able to work with the surrounding neighborhood, come up with innovative solutions, and bring the new tank and booster station online smoothly and with very few changes to the project.

I would like to suggest you work with the company, T Bailey LLC
I strongly reference the partnership of the company for your contractor.

LAKE WHATCOM WATER & SEWER DISTRICT


 

T Bailey LLC has built over a dozen petroleum storage tanks for our site and rebuilt a number of others in our working tank farm in the last several years.

While known for their remarkable speed to complete their work, in our case, it has been done safely despite very congested working conditions with the other trades and often rough weather conditions- both high winds and rain. Work was stopped appropriately when wind was a problem and proper precautions were taken.

Highly experienced oversight was brought in on the more challenging tasks to insure safe completion at our site. T Bailey’s equipment is usually the newest and in the best condition, which I’m sure helps their success.

We’d recommend T Bailey LLC for future work.
