Industrial Tank Services & Solutions

AmTech services all tank types and materials including steel above-ground storage tanks (ASTs), underground storage tanks (USTs), concrete tanks, fiberglass tanks, FRP tanks, and laminate tanks. We handle tanks storing potable water, domestic hot water, fire suppression water, wastewater, chemicals (acids, alkalis, solvents), petroleum products (crude oil, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel), and industrial process fluids. Our capabilities cover single-wall and double-wall configurations, pressurized and atmospheric tanks, and sizes from small residential systems to million-gallon industrial storage facilities.

Project duration varies based on tank size, condition, and lining system selected. AmTech's proprietary DuraChem® 500 series instant-cure polylining dramatically reduces downtime compared to traditional multi-coat systems—many tanks return to service within 24-48 hours including surface preparation and curing. Conventional epoxy or cement systems requiring extended cure times may take 5-10 days. Emergency repairs are prioritized with crews mobilizing within hours. During initial assessment, our engineers provide accurate timeline projections specific to your tank's configuration and service requirements.

DuraChem® 500 series is AmTech's proprietary 100% solids polylining system that cures instantly on contact during spray application, creating a seamless monolithic chemical-resistant barrier. Unlike traditional epoxy coatings requiring multiple coats and days of cure time between applications, DuraChem® eliminates extended facility shutdowns and produces zero VOCs during installation. The system bonds directly to steel, concrete, and fiberglass substrates and resists aggressive chemical environments including acids, alkalis, petroleum products, and hydrogen sulfide in wastewater applications. It's engineered specifically for industrial storage tanks where downtime costs are critical.

Yes, AmTech provides 24/7 emergency response for critical tank failures including active leaks, corrosion breakthroughs, lining failures, structural cracks, and regulatory shutdowns. Our engineer-led field crews mobilize rapidly across all 50 states and Canada with proprietary repair materials pre-staged for immediate deployment. Emergency services include temporary containment, structural steel repairs, instant-cure lining application, fiberglass laminate repairs, and leak sealing using PLS 755 Tank Tape. We prioritize restoring tank integrity quickly to minimize facility downtime, prevent environmental incidents, and maintain regulatory compliance during unexpected failures.

AmTech's crews perform comprehensive surface preparation tailored to each tank's substrate material and existing condition. Methods include dry abrasive blasting (sandblasting), wet abrasive blasting for dust control, water blasting (hydroblasting) for coating removal, chemical cleaning, and manual profiling using power tools. Blast media selection—garnet, glass beads, walnut shells, aluminum oxide, or steel grit—depends on substrate type and required profile depth. All work achieves SSPC-SP5 White Metal, SSPC-SP6 Commercial Blast, or SSPC-SP10 Near-White Blast standards as specified for the subsequent lining system. Profile verification using replica tape confirms adhesion requirements are met.

All AmTech services meet or exceed API (American Petroleum Institute) standards including API 653 for tank inspection and repair, NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) specifications, SSPC (Society for Protective Coatings) surface preparation standards, ASTM testing protocols, NSF standards for potable water contact, NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) codes, and EPA/state environmental regulations. Our HydraStone Alkrete® system is NSF-certified for drinking water applications. Field crews hold OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 certifications, and our project engineers include NLPA Special Inspectors ensuring leak prevention compliance for regulated underground storage tanks.

The Genesis system is AmTech's proprietary technology that converts existing single-wall underground storage tanks into fully compliant double-wall tanks with interstitial monitoring—without excavation or tank replacement. A secondary containment wall is installed inside the existing tank with monitoring ports between walls, meeting EPA and state environmental regulations for petroleum fuels, alcohol-blended fuels (E10/E15/E85), biodiesel, and petrochemical storage. This eliminates the massive expense of full tank replacement (often $50,000-$150,000) while maintaining regulatory compliance and extending tank service life, making it ideal for gas stations and fuel distribution facilities facing upgrade requirements.

AmTech's Blue Check warranty program provides comprehensive coverage for materials and workmanship across our proprietary lining systems including DuraChem® polylinings, HydraStone Alkrete® cement systems, Armor Shield® coatings, and AT BiFlex® fiberglass systems. Warranty terms vary by application, tank service conditions, and lining system selected—our engineers specify appropriate coverage during project planning. With over 55 years of proven field performance and thousands of successful installations nationwide, AmTech's warranty is backed by documented long-term reliability in the most demanding petroleum, chemical, water, and wastewater storage environments.
