What is Water Tank Refurbishment?
Water tank refurbishment restores and upgrades existing storage tanks to improve safety, performance, and service life. It extends the life of ageing assets without the cost of full replacement.
Tank refurbishment may include surface preparation, corrosion treatment, protective coatings, liner replacement, and structural improvements. Every solution is tailored to the tank’s condition and operational requirements.
At Raven American Tanks, every project begins with a detailed inspection and condition assessment. This helps us recommend the most effective refurbishment solution while minimising downtime.
When Does an Water Tank Need Refurbishment?
Water tanks should be refurbished when signs of deterioration begin to affect their safety, performance, or compliance. Addressing these issues early helps prevent costly repairs and unplanned downtime.
Common signs that tank refurbishment is required:
- Corrosion or rust on steel surfaces
- Damaged or failing protective coatings
- Cracked or deteriorated tank liners
- Water leaks or structural damage
- Reduced storage performance
- Ageing tanks that no longer meet industry standards
If these issues are identified during a tank inspection, refurbishment can restore the tank’s condition, improve performance, and significantly extend its service life.
Tank Refurbishment, Repair, or Replacement
Tank refurbishment is often a more practical and cost-effective solution than tank repair or full replacement. The right approach depends on the tank’s condition, operational requirements, and long-term maintenance goals.
| Tank Refurbishment | Tank Repair | Tank Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Restores the entire tank system | Repairs a specific defect | Replaces the entire tank |
| Extends service life | Resolves isolated damage | Provides a completely new asset |
| Improves long-term reliability | Addresses immediate issues | Requires full installation |
| Lower cost than replacement | Lowest upfront cost | Highest capital investment |
| Ideal for ageing tanks | Best for minor damage | Required for severely deteriorated tanks |
| Minimal operational downtime | Minimal downtime | Longest downtime |
If your tank has widespread deterioration, refurbishment is often the most cost-effective long-term solution. If the damage is isolated, a targeted tank repair may be sufficient.

Water Tank Refurbishment Process
Every tank refurbishment project follows a structured process to restore performance, extend service life, and minimise operational downtime.
1. Tank Inspection & Condition Assessment
We inspect the tank to identify corrosion, coating failure, structural defects, and liner damage. This assessment determines the most effective refurbishment approach.
2. Surface Preparation
Damaged coatings, corrosion, and contaminants are removed using the appropriate surface preparation methods.
3. Structural Restoration
Any damaged components are repaired or reinforced to restore the tank’s structural integrity before refurbishment continues.
4. Protective Coatings & Liner Installation
New protective coating systems or tank liner installation are completed to improve corrosion resistance, prevent leaks, and enhance long-term durability.
5. Quality Inspection & Testing
The refurbished tank is inspected and tested to verify performance, safety, and compliance with project requirements.

Once all work is completed and verified, the tank is returned to service with improved reliability and an extended operational life.
