Liners for Storage Tanks
Steel and concrete tanks must be protected internally and externally to make sure that nothing gets out and nothing gets in. For more than 30 years, industrial and municipal professionals have relied on GSE products and services to protect their concrete and steel tanks from corrosion and leakage.
Primary Tank Liners for Containment
GSE HDPE geomembranes and concrete protection products have been installed inside steel and concrete tanks of all sizes to preserve aging tanks and protect the tank walls from corrosion. For potable water tank liners, the geomembrane prevents contaminants or sediment from entering the tank.
GSE HDPE geomembranes can be attached to steel or concrete tank walls using stainless steel batten strips. For concrete foundations, attach geomembrane securely and more economically with GSE PolyLock HDPE concrete embedment attachment strips. GSE StudLiner HDPE, a concrete protective liner product, is available in a range of thicknesses and configurations for specific applications.
Tank Leak Detection with Enhanced Linings
GSE Conductive geomembrane technology can also help with tank protection. A GSE Conductive liner system can be completely spark-tested once installed to find liner damage, and in the case of exposed installations can be retested periodically for long-term maintenance.
For leak detection, GSE HDPE geomembrane liners are generally installed in conjunction with a GSE drainage geocomposite inside the ringwall. The two layers help to quickly channel leaked liquids to a leak detection sump.
Secondary Containment for Tanks
GSE materials and technology are also the industry choice for secondary protection and spill containment. From small tanks to entire tank farms, GSE geomembranes have been proven in many secondary containment area applications.
Tank Corrosion Protection
GSE HDPE geomembrane lining systems are the preferred choice for providing corrosion protection to concrete and steel tank surfaces:
- Attach standard GSE geomembrane sheeting to the concrete surface with batten strips or GSE PolyLock concrete embedment strips.
- Install GSE StudLiner concrete protective liner systems into new concrete or to existing concrete with injected mortar. GSE StudLiner’s extruded studs lock into the concrete for a tight, smooth and rigid surface.
GSE provides a full range of installation services. No other company has achieved our level of experience and training. We can provide a complete range of products, expertise and technical support on projects of any size.
