Norbord Ltd are a manufacturer of MDF sheet and wood panel products, supplying companies such as Wickes and Travis Perkins. A fire tank survey was carried out on three existing sprinkler tanks. All three tanks were leaking badly, and a number of perforation points were identified. We were asked to recommend a plan to repair all three tanks within five day shut down period.

A quote and schedule was forwarded, based on all three tanks being simultaneously repaired. We were awarded the contract in June and works were scheduled to commence in August. Low level access hatches were installed to all three tanks and fibreglass repairs were carried out on numerous leakage areas. The tanks were cleaned, refilled and returned to service one day ahead of schedule. A full tank epoxy coating system is planned for next year to prevent further corrosion and extend the tanks lifespan.

We would like to thank Norbord for awarding us the contract and look forward to working with them again next year.
