Is Your Asset Fit for Service?
Proper maintenance and inspection of your tanks and pipelines are essential in preventing costly repairs and mitigating risks. Ferrous Protection’s expert Lining Inspections services ensure that your industrial storage assets remain operational and compliant, safeguarding against potential risks and maintaining the integrity of your stored products.
Corrosion and lining degradation can cause significant issues, including:

-
Leakage and Environmental Hazards: The failure to address corrosion could lead to leaks, with dangerous consequences such as environmental contamination and potential financial penalties.
-
Irreparable Damage: Left unchecked, corrosion can lead to extensive damage, requiring costly tank replacements and added logistical complications.

Case Studies
Case Study: Tank Lining Inspection for a Major UK Oil Terminal
Client: Leading Oil Terminal in the UK
Project Value: £120,000
Project Brief: Ferrous Protection was commissioned by a major oil terminal to conduct a detailed inspection of a crude oil storage tank. The tank, which had been in service for over 10 years, showed signs of internal corrosion, which could potentially affect the quality of stored oil and lead to contamination. Our team of certified inspectors was deployed to assess the tank lining.
Inspection Process:
-
Destructive Testing: We conducted adhesion pull-off tests and cross-cut tests on the existing coating to assess its condition and integrity.
-
Non-Destructive Testing: Ultrasonic thickness testing was carried out to evaluate the tank’s structural integrity.
-
Inspection Findings: The internal lining had significant degradation in certain areas, but the tank structure itself remained intact.
Recommended Action: We recommended a polyurea tank lining application to replace the degraded sections, along with a full internal blasting procedure to ensure a durable, long-lasting result. Additionally, we suggested robust monitoring and routine inspections every 18 months to maintain the tank’s integrity.
Outcome:
-
On Time, On Budget: The refurbishment was completed in 4 weeks, with no safety incidents.
-
Client Satisfaction: The client was highly satisfied with the outcome and the tank was put back into service, with an estimated 15 additional years of life.
-
Ongoing Relationship: Since this project, the client has placed several more inspection and lining contracts with Ferrous Protection.

The job has gone well, the team was well-organized, and the work was executed well. A nice, professional job. The weekly update is also refreshing rather than having to chase companies for progress updates.
– Project Manager, Statutory Corporation of the Ministry of Defence
Just a short email to pass on our appreciation for the works executed during the last two weeks. We found your team to be punctual, helpful, hardworking, and a credit to your company. From the repair to the GRP lining of the large jet fuel tank to the minor touch-up repairs on the small diesel tanks, the works were carried out seamlessly and to a high standard. This has been confirmed by the independent coating inspector today. Please pass on our thanks to Mariusz and Marian, and we look forward to working with FPL again in the near future.
