Raw Water Tank Repairs
Professional Raw Water Tank Repair Solutions
Raw water tanks operate in demanding environments where untreated water, sediment loads, biological activity, and chemical variability accelerate internal deterioration. Over time, these conditions can lead to corrosion, liner failure, structural weakening, and contamination risks that impact downstream treatment systems and operational reliability.
Our raw water tank repair services are specifically designed to address the challenges associated with untreated water storage. We restore structural integrity, rehabilitate internal protection systems, and implement durable repair solutions that extend asset lifespan while safeguarding water supply performance.

Challenges Specific to Raw Water Storage Tanks
Raw water tanks operate in aggressive, untreated environments that accelerate internal deterioration.
Key challenges include:
- Sediment build-up increasing floor pressure
- Biological growth damaging coatings
- Variable water chemistry weakening steel and concrete
- Fluctuating water levels stressing joints
- Debris impact wearing inlet and outlet components
- Contamination risk affecting downstream treatment systems
These conditions require repair solutions specifically designed for untreated water storage — not standard tank repairs.
Signs Your Raw Water Tank Requires Repair
Early intervention prevents structural failure and costly operational disruption.
Common indicators that a raw water tank requires professional attention include:
- Visible corrosion, especially at the base or along internal seams
- Persistent leaks around joints, penetrations, or floor plates
- Excessive sludge accumulation affecting water volume and stability
- Rust staining or surface pitting
- Reduced water quality entering treatment systems
If these issues are present, targeted repair should be scheduled before deterioration escalates and compromises system performance.
Our Raw Water Tank Repair Approach
Raw water tanks require repair solutions tailored to untreated and sediment-heavy conditions.
Our approach includes:
- Detailed condition assessment of corrosion and structural wear.
- Corrosion treatment and surface restoration
- Floor and wall reinforcement where sediment has caused deterioration
- Sealing of joints and penetrations to eliminate leakage
- Final inspection to verify structural integrity and performance
Raven American Tanks delivers repair strategies specifically engineered for the demands of untreated raw water storage environments.

FAQ
Can a raw water tank be repaired instead of replaced?
In many cases, yes. Structural reinforcement and relining can restore integrity and extend service life without the cost of full replacement.
How long does a raw water tank repair project take?
Project duration depends on tank size and damage severity. After inspection, a clear scope and timeline are provided.
What causes accelerated corrosion in raw water tanks?
High sediment loads, biological activity, fluctuating pH levels, and prolonged moisture exposure significantly increase corrosion rates.
Can repairs be completed without shutting down operations?
In many cases, raw water storage tank repair services can be planned to minimise operational disruption. The approach depends on tank configuration, system layout, and overall facility requirements.
