Expert Tank & Industrial Services Across North America

AmTech services all tank types and materials including steel above-ground storage tanks (ASTs), underground storage tanks (USTs), fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks, concrete tanks, and laminate structures. We work on potable water tanks, domestic hot water systems, fire suppression tanks, wastewater collection and treatment tanks, chemical storage vessels, petroleum fuel tanks (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, crude oil), and industrial process tanks. Our proprietary lining systems are engineered for specific service environments—DuraChem® 500 series for chemical resistance, HydraStone Alkrete® for high-temperature water applications up to 900°F, and Armor Shield® for petroleum products.

AmTech maintains strategically positioned crews across the United States and Canada to enable rapid emergency response. When you contact our emergency service line, our field engineers assess the situation and typically mobilize a crew within 24-48 hours depending on location and severity. Emergency crews arrive equipped with DuraChem® instant-cure linings, HydraStone® cement systems, fiberglass repair materials, PLS 755 Tank Tape, and welding equipment to address most failure scenarios on-site. We prioritize leak containment, temporary mitigation, and rapid restoration to minimize environmental risk, facility downtime, and regulatory exposure.

The DuraChem® 500 series is AmTech's proprietary 100% solids poly lining system that cures instantly on contact, creating a seamless monolithic barrier inside the tank. Unlike traditional epoxy or vinyl ester coatings that require multi-day cure times between coats, DuraChem® builds up full thickness in a single spray application pass with no seams, joints, or overlap areas. It produces zero VOCs, bonds directly to steel, concrete, and fiberglass, and resists aggressive acids, caustics, solvents, and corrosive chemicals across a wide pH and temperature range. Tanks can often return to service the same day or next day, dramatically reducing facility shutdowns.

Yes, all structural steel repairs on above-ground atmospheric storage tanks are performed in accordance with API Standard 653 (Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction). This includes ultrasonic thickness testing to identify wall thinning and permeation, cutting out corroded or perforated sections, welding in new steel plate, and restoring structural integrity before surface preparation and lining application. Our field engineers are trained in API 653 requirements and work closely with facility engineers and third-party inspectors to ensure full regulatory compliance. We also perform manway retrofitting to provide code-compliant access for future inspections.

AmTech uses the appropriate surface preparation method based on substrate type, existing corrosion, project environment, and the specified lining system. Methods include dry abrasive blasting (sandblasting) using garnet, aluminum oxide, or steel grit for heavy rust and mill scale removal; wet abrasive blasting to reduce airborne dust in occupied facilities; water blasting (hydroblasting) for removing loose coatings and biological growth; chemical cleaning for sensitive substrates; and manual profiling with power tools for spot repairs. All work is performed to SSPC and NACE standards, with surface profile verified using replica tape or digital gauges before coating application.

The BLUE CHECK warranty program is AmTech's comprehensive performance guarantee covering materials, workmanship, and lining system integrity. It represents the best warranty coverage in the tank lining industry, backed by our 55+ years of field-proven performance and status as the largest cementitious tank lining installer in North America. The specific warranty terms—including duration, coverage scope, and conditions—are tailored to each project based on tank type, stored substance, operating conditions, and lining system specified. All warranty details are provided in writing before project commencement.

Yes, AmTech's proprietary Genesis Double Wall Retrofit System converts existing single-wall underground storage tanks into fully compliant double-wall tanks with interstitial monitoring capability. Rather than excavating and replacing the entire tank—a process costing tens of thousands of dollars and causing extended shutdowns—the Genesis system installs a secondary containment wall inside the existing tank with monitoring ports between the walls. The system is compatible with petroleum fuels, alcohol-blended fuels (E10, E15, E85), biodiesel, and petrochemicals, allowing facilities to meet current EPA and state environmental regulations without full tank replacement.

AmTech provides tank and industrial services across all 50 United States, throughout Canada, and in the Caribbean. We maintain our own engineer-led field crews strategically positioned across North America to ensure rapid response times and consistent service quality. Whether your facility is in a major metropolitan area or a remote industrial site, AmTech has the logistical capability and field experience to mobilize crews, deliver proprietary materials, and execute complex tank lining and repair projects. Emergency services are available 24/7 across our entire service territory.
