Expert Fuel Tank Repair Services — Professional Contractors

AmTech maintains strategically positioned field crews across North America for rapid emergency deployment. For critical failures such as active leaks, corrosion breakthroughs, or regulatory shutdown situations, we can typically mobilize experienced teams within 24-48 hours depending on your location. Our crews arrive with instant-cure DuraChem® lining materials, structural welding equipment, and fiberglass repair systems ready to address most emergency scenarios on-site. We prioritize containment, temporary leak mitigation, and permanent repairs to minimize environmental risk and facility downtime.

We repair all major fuel tank types and configurations: above-ground atmospheric storage tanks (ASTs), underground storage tanks (USTs), both single-wall and double-wall designs, vertical and horizontal orientations, and tanks constructed from steel, fiberglass (FRP), concrete, or composite materials. Our crews handle petroleum products including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, heating oil, crude oil, biofuel blends (E10, E15, E85, biodiesel), and petrochemical liquids. We work on tanks ranging from small 500-gallon USTs at service stations to massive 1-million-gallon+ ASTs at refineries and bulk storage terminals.

Yes, all structural steel repairs are performed in strict accordance with API Standard 653 (Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction), the petroleum industry's recognized standard for storage tank integrity. Our field engineers hold NLPA Special Inspector credentials and ensure repairs meet EPA underground storage tank regulations, NFPA fire protection codes, OSHA safety requirements, and state-specific environmental compliance standards. We provide complete documentation including ultrasonic thickness test results, weld inspection reports, coating application records, and pressure test certifications to demonstrate regulatory compliance for facility audits.

Project duration depends on the scope of damage and repair method. Emergency leak repairs with our instant-cure DuraChem® system can often restore a tank to service within 24-72 hours. More extensive repairs involving structural steel replacement, complete interior blasting, and multi-component lining installations typically require 5-14 days depending on tank size and access limitations. Unlike traditional epoxy or vinyl ester systems that require 7-14 days of cure time alone, our proprietary DuraChem® linings cure instantly on application, dramatically reducing facility downtime. We provide detailed project timelines during the engineering assessment phase.

AmTech's proprietary lining systems are engineered for decades of service life when properly installed and maintained. Our DuraChem® 500 series polylinings typically provide 20-30+ years of corrosion protection in petroleum service, backed by our industry-leading BLUE CHECK warranty program. The HydraStone® cementitious systems used in specialty applications offer similar longevity. Actual service life depends on factors including stored product chemistry, operating temperatures, fill/draw cycles, and maintenance practices. Our warranties cover material performance and workmanship, with specific terms detailed during project engineering based on your facility's unique operating conditions.

Yes, in many cases. For underground storage tanks, our Genesis Double-Wall Retrofit System converts existing single-wall USTs into EPA-compliant double-wall tanks with full interstitial monitoring capability — all performed through existing manways without excavation. This approach saves tens of thousands of dollars compared to tank replacement and eliminates surface disruption. For above-ground tanks, we perform in-place repairs including interior lining, floor pan installation, nozzle replacement, and structural welding without removing the tank from its foundation. Emergency repairs are specifically designed for minimal-disruption execution to keep facilities operational.

All AmTech fuel tank repairs are backed by our comprehensive BLUE CHECK warranty program, which we describe as the best warranty program in the tank lining business. Warranty terms are project-specific based on the lining system installed, tank construction, stored product, and operating conditions. Typical coverage includes material performance guarantees against corrosion breakthrough, delamination, or coating failure, plus workmanship warranties covering application quality and substrate preparation. Our proprietary DuraChem® and HydraStone® systems carry extended warranty options not available with generic coating products. Complete warranty documentation is provided at project completion with registered coverage.

Yes, AmTech provides 24/7 emergency response services for critical fuel tank failures that require immediate attention. If your facility experiences an active leak, sudden corrosion breakthrough, nozzle blowout, or regulatory shutdown, contact our emergency hotline at 888-839-0373 or reach Project Engineer Greg Comeau directly at 603-315-8839. Our dispatch coordinates rapid crew mobilization with the materials and equipment needed to contain the situation, perform temporary mitigation if necessary, and execute permanent repairs. We understand that fuel tank failures represent environmental liability, operational disruption, and regulatory exposure — our emergency protocols prioritize containment and compliance.
