Tank Maintenance
Unpreserved liquid storage tanks pose risks to human and environmental health, with both local and global industry regulations becoming increasingly stringent across the board.
Contamination, chemical, physical, and explosive hazards are all common risk factors among neglected tank storage systems, especially when it inevitably comes time to clean, repair, or maintain them.
Whether your site operates concrete, stainless steel, or galvanized steel panel tanks, each asset has unique considerations surrounding its contents, and maintenance management.
Raven Tanks Australia Tank Maintenance Services
Pump Repairs
We’ll routinely assess the condition of your tank’s pumps ensuring replacement recommendations are proposed well in advance of failure.
Pest Control & Vermin-Proofing
Elimination of infestations of insects, birds, rodents and reptiles. We install a range of vermin-proofing components to assist with contamination reduction from bird droppings, trapped animals and rodent habitation.
Pipe Maintenance
We restore piping, connections, fittings and more while assessing pipe network conditions and unclogging problem areas.
Access Upgrades
Platform fit-outs, hatch replacements, ladder and stairway repairs, railing revamps and a range of other safety-related installation services.
Flushes & Refills
Tank flushing is an important process designed to remove sludge from the bottom of tanks. Sludge removal must be carried out more often under circumstances where tanks are routinely opened and exposed to air.
Custom Modifications
Ask us about extras including additional post-assembly accessories like signage, labeling, or fencing and we’ll discuss personalized tank component solutions with you!
Panel Tank Maintenance Challenges
Commercial and industrial liquid storage tank maintenance is a must-do in securing proper longevity for your assets. Well-kept tanks also ensure safe work environments are maintained by eliminating health hazards like contaminated drinking water or by revalidating their structural integrity.
Implementing and carrying out a maintenance strategy not only minimizes workplace or site risks but also establishes a condition baseline for future restoration or refurbishment works.
It’s important to keep formal records of all tank maintenance activity and upgrades and, where possible, arrange the same company for every inspection. Raven Tanks Australia will manage and carry on maintenance works in accordance with previous services and their results, ensuring your tanks are in the most capable and experienced hands each time.
Why Maintenance Is Critical
Water storage tank maintenance primarily aims to reduce the opportunity for the following to occur:
- Sludge Build-up – Solid matter eventually sinks to the tank’s floor and dissolves into a dense, sticky sludge-like substance. Unremoved sludge leads to blocked pipelines and filters and contaminated contents.
- MIC – Microbial bacterial growth takes over unkept tanks, contaminating water supplies and corroding away seams, bolts and other surface structures.
- Excess Moisture Build-up – Moisture and air quality affect your tanks in multiple ways causing leaks, seepage spots, internal surface damage and polluted water reserves
- Compliance Complications – Non-compliance and other liability issues may arise if unsafe commercial storage tanks are involved in a workplace incident.
- Structural Failures – Once structural or panel conditions reach a point of disrepair, tank assets become unsafe to remain in operation and in some cases, must immediately be disassembled.
