Sprinkler systems play an invisible but vital role in business and public sector buildings across the UK. They are on standby 24/7, primed to deliver emergency water supplies in the event of a fire. Insurers, as well as building owners, rely upon their effectiveness to limit damage and injury should the worst happen - that is why it is essential that sprinkler tanks are regularly inspected.
Sprinkler tank refurbishment is now a core line of business for Nationwide Water Solutions Limited, one of the UK’s leading commercial and sprinkler tank specialists. In recent years, it has refurbished a vast number of sprinkler tanks – the flagship projects involving a 1.2 million litre tank in Basildon, and bespoke internal insulation and sprinkler tank relining in Sweden. Typically, sprinkler storage ranges from 30,000 litres up to 2 million litres.
A spokesman for Nationwide Water Solutions Limited said: “Because water tanks associated with sprinkler tanks are prone to rust and corrosion or perishing of existing linings, it is imperative they are refurbished if considered beyond practical use.”
Nationwide Water Solutions Limited uses three trusted refurbishment methods – Butyl Tank Linings, EPDM Tank Linings and an Epoxy Repair System - each geared to meet the specific conditions of an individual tank. The methods use the following applications, as dictated by the conditions:
- Epoxy Tank Coating
- Polyethylene Coating
- EPDM Lining
- Butyl Lining
- Flagon Lining
Nationwide Water Solutions Limited is a leader in the field of flexible tank lining. Its Flagon Lining is a complete innovation and was developed in-house. It offers increased resistance to corrosion and extreme temperatures, as well as ageing and perishing. It is high-performing and comes with a 10 year guarantee. It is ideal for underground tanks and those made of concrete or steel.
Nationwide Water Solutions core business is the refurbishment of existing sprinkler storage tanks, refurbishing and relining around a hundred tanks per year. Because refurbishing sprinkler tanks is a specialist field that should only ever be carried out by experts, they pay stringent attention to health and safety guidelines. All its engineers have received relevant training in areas such as working at height, confined spaces, PASMA and first aid to name but a few.
