Ameycespa (East) Limited is a waste management company offering a comprehensive range of waste and recycling services to businesses, local authorities, schools and colleges, health and social care services and householders.
Ameycespa had two internal chemical tank bunds holding sulphuric acid and a 'scrubber tank' in which chemicals were mixed. Over the two years the tanks had been in operation damage had occurred to the concrete bund floor in the chemical storage area.
In addition, the company had two newly-built external bunds that needed lining with fibreglass before tanks were to be installed. The work needed to be done quickly - tanks were due to arrive from Spain, so the storage tank bund had to be ready.
We grit blasted the internal chemical tank bunds to remove debris and then made minor but necessary repairs. Next we applied a high-quality vinyl ester resin using a four-coat system able to protect against 76% concentrations of sulphuric acid - good environmental practice.
A protective tent was erected over the external bunds, allowing us to work in all weathers and meet the important deadline. We were then able to apply chemical resistant fibreglass lining to the two new concrete bunds.
We were able to work quickly, applying top-quality fibreglass linings to meet the deadline.
Wayne Surry, Site Supervisor, Sui Generis, says:
"Whilst making good the existing bunds, it was a great opportunity to line the new bunds, ensuring they benefited from a long-term, maintenance free lining from the outset."

Industrial Bund Lining Service
The 2 existing sulphuric acid tanks and scrubber tank bund had to be grit blasted to prepare the surface for application, and minor fill-in repairs made before GRP lining.
Over the 2 years that the tanks had been in operation, chemicals had already damaged the concrete bund floor, so a fibreglass lining was required for protection.
As well as lining existing bunded areas, the client decided to line newly built concrete bunds from the outset, as a long-term maintenance free solution.
The tank bund area had a protective cover tent erected so that the work could be completed in time for the arrival of the tanks from Spain.
