CASE 148

Tank repair

The Challenge

  • Seal a corrosion leak at the top of the storage tank, where another company has been unsuccessful on two occasions
  • Eliminate welding seam between 2 plates with height difference of 11 mm
  • Repair must be done without stopping production
  • Take care of limited accessibility to the workshop
  • Carry out repairs in accordance with the ISO 24817 standard

Solution

  • Development of a solution in cooperation with Henkel
  • Durable LOCTITE patch application by our own certified applicators
  • Completing the job completely autonomously with our own service truck

Production Profits

  • Repairing the leak with a level difference between 2 plates of 11 mm at the weld is a challenge, where repair attempts by third parties have failed.
  • This LOCTITE patching solution avoids unforeseen additional repair costs and unwanted decommissioning of the storage tanks.
  • The repair is done without shutting down production in an environment with limited access. Uptimise/Durallco’s service truck provides the perfect solution here.
