Benefits
- Extend service life
- Retain asset value
- Comply with regulations
- Maintain water quality
All too often, concrete structures like water storage tanks are considered maintenance free. However, concrete is a very porous material that does require maintenance. It can crack and leak over time, and uncoated concrete in contact with potable water can lead to water quality and compliance issues. USG Water Solutions’ concrete services are designed to restore water storage tanks and keep them in fit-for-purpose condition.
Challenges
- Biofilm buildup
Biofilm can accumulate on uncoated concrete. - Water quality
Biological fouling can lead to nitrification, occurrence of coliform bacteria. - Compliance
High disinfection by-product (DBP) levels can cause compliance issues.
