Water tank liners are part of water retention systems which are often overlooked. However, anyone who has a had a tank liner installed in their pressed steel, concrete or galvanised tank will know that without a flexible, durable liner supported by a protective underlay, your tank is left vulnerable to cracking or the onset of corrosion and bacteria colonisation.

Water tank refurbishment is an essential process every water tank owner needs to undertake at one point or another. Like any industrial enhancement project, a water tank will not last indefinitely – it is only through regular maintenance that you can benefit from water collection in the long run.

Keeping your water tank in peak condition is important for maintaining water quality. Learn how here:    

When people think of ways to fight fire, the words “water storage tanks and tank liners” rarely cross their lips. However, those who are serious about the hazards fire presents know that a robust, reliable tank whose internal surfaces are protected by a high-quality tank liner can mean the difference between success and failure when it comes to coping with runaway fires.

Pond liners are arguably the most important element that you need to consider when undertaking a home pond project. Whilst it may seem any old piece of plastic will do, the truth is that poor quality pond liners, or even good quality liners that are incorrectly installed, have the potential to lead to numerous problems after your project has reached completion, which results in you incurring additional costs and possibly having to start again. So to save time and money it is worth planning.

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber liners are extensively used for a number of different applications. The flat sheet liner can be fabricated for lining garden ponds, irrigation and slurry lagoons, lakes and reservoirs. EPDM liners are also used for bespoke projects such as the fabrication of box-welded liners for ornamental vertically-sided ponds. 

Effective damp proofing is now a regulatory requirement for all new buildings, and the first line of defence is always the damp proof course that separates the inside of a building from damp rising up from the ground and into the structure through capillary action.

So, you have decided you want to install a pond in your garden but can't decide which will be the best way to line your build. Choices include a prefabricated glass fibre pond, a sheet 2-D liner or a box-welded pond liner. Each option has it's merits as well as features that need some further consideration before making your final decision. Box welded pond liners are a convenient alternative to installing a flexible 2-D pond liner for vertically sided ponds and particularly those built to home Koi carp.

A bladder surge vessel is a storage reservoir at the downstream end or a dam or reservoir to absorb sudden rises of pressure and to provide extra water during a brief drop in pressure.

There are many types of water storage facilities for fire protection. Constructed types include elevated, ground-level or below the ground metal or rubberised storage tanks. Natural storage facilities include ponds, lakes and reservoirs. To be effective in water containment, water storage facilities need to be managed and maintained to regulation standards to guarantee supply in the event of a fire.

We are often asked about the difference between Butyl and EPDM rubber lake liners used for lining ponds, lakes, reservoirs, slurry lagoons or other structures used to contain water. Here is an explanation and a look at the features and benefits of both types of lake liners >>
