Expert Underground & buried fire suppression tank lining

Tank liner cost is driven by tank size, depth, access, substrate type, existing corrosion, required surface preparation, structural repairs, and the selected lining system. Buried fire suppression tanks may also require leak mitigation, manway access, pipe penetration detailing, or concrete waterproofing. AmTech evaluates each project before recommending a scope so the estimate reflects actual site conditions rather than a generic liner price.

A properly specified and installed tank liner can provide decades of serviceable use, especially when surface preparation, substrate repairs, and lining selection match the tank’s operating conditions. Longevity depends on corrosion severity, water chemistry, movement, access, maintenance, and inspection intervals. AmTech’s proprietary systems and BLUE CHECK warranty program are designed to extend service life and reduce premature lining failure.

In many cases, yes. If the tank structure can be repaired and access is adequate, lining can restore corrosion protection and watertight performance at a lower disruption level than replacement. AmTech inspects the tank, identifies steel or concrete deterioration, repairs compromised areas, and applies a compatible lining or waterproofing system to extend the usable life of the asset.

AmTech works on steel and concrete storage tanks, including underground, buried, and below-grade tanks used for fire suppression water reserves. Services can include lining, concrete sealing, waterproofing, nozzle and penetration repairs, manway retrofits, abrasive blasting, and emergency leak response. The selected system depends on tank construction, condition, access, and whether corrosion or water infiltration is the primary concern.

Preparation typically includes inspection, cleaning, removal of old coatings, rust, scale, contaminants, and loose concrete, followed by abrasive blasting, hydroblasting, or mechanical profiling as appropriate. Crews verify surface profile and environmental conditions before application. Proper preparation is critical because liner adhesion, waterproofing performance, and long-term corrosion resistance all depend on a clean, sound substrate.

Yes. AmTech provides emergency tank repair services for active leaks, corrosion breakthrough, structural cracks, lining delamination, nozzle problems, and shutdown-related integrity issues. Crews can perform rapid assessment, temporary containment, substrate repair, and lining or coating restoration using materials such as DuraChem, HydraStone, PLS 755 Tank Tape, and other compatible repair systems.

AmTech’s work is supported by credentials and compliance experience including NFPA membership, ANSI compliant systems, NSF compliant systems, NLPA compliance, API compliance, UL listed systems, OSHA 10, OSHA 30, and NLPA Special Inspector expertise. Field crews follow project-specific preparation and application protocols designed to meet or exceed applicable tank repair, safety, and lining requirements.

AmTech provides tank lining and repair services across all 50 U.S. states, Canada, and the Caribbean. Crews travel to commercial, municipal, industrial, institutional, and government facilities to perform on-site tank assessment, surface preparation, repair, waterproofing, and lining. Nationwide coverage helps facility teams address buried tank issues without relying on inexperienced local subcontractors.
