Fiberglass Tank Repair Process

Western Underground Fiberglass can repair fiberglass tanks without excavation.

Here is an example of our fiberglass tank repair process. The pictures show the step-by-step process of the actual fiberglass repair.

		Looking down through access and manway into the tank All tools, equipment and personnel have to go through this opening. Also, the ventilation tubes pass through here.
		Inside of tank The tank is loaded with debris which has come in through the breaks in the tank.
		Debris removed from tank

		Preparing the tank Pieces of broken fiberglass which were removed to prepare the cracks in the tank for repair.
		First layers of fiberglass The initial fiberglass layers seal the area from water and debris outside the tank.
		Next layers of filler Next we create a smooth contour over the top of the damaged area.
