Water Tank Corrosion and Leaks Due to Defective Exterior Coating

A domestic water distributor experienced premature corrosion damage on several carbon steel water storage tanks. APTECH was hired by the company to conduct an independent review of the tank corrosion protection system. Our review consisted of examining the design specification and tank inspection results. We concluded that the original coating material which was specified by the designer was inadequate. We recommended alternative coating methods and materials.
