Chem & PetroChem Projects:

FRP Hydrogen Piping Replacement
When a pipe was deteriorating at a chemical plant, we were brought in to replace it with a pre-fabricated FRP pipe system.

Tank Farm Secondary Containment Concrete Repair and Lining
This secondary containment area had severely eroded concrete, which could allow chemicals to seep into the ground in the event of a spill.

Prefabricated Structural FRP Liner in Sump
When we saw how saturated this concrete was, we knew that a coating was not going to be an option to restore this sump.

Rubber Lining in Nuclear Waste Tank
The largest single rubber lining application to date! This nuclear waste tank spanned 2.5 acres, and holds 32 million gallons.

Containment Area Repair and Coating
This concrete containment area was completely worn down from excessive acid leaks and puddling.
