Majestic Hotel, Bournemouth - Potable Water Tank Lining

Majestic Hotel, Bournemouth - Potable Water Tank Lining The Majestic Hotel in Bournemouth has three galvanised steel cold water storage tanks on the roof of their hotel. All three tanks required lining with a potable water tank lining system to make them compliant with current water regulations, easier to clean and to maintain. The work had to be carried out during the hotel’s maintenance shut down period. We had just 3 days to complete the work on all three tanks. The two larger tanks were constructed of riveted heavy steel plates and are likely to be been the original cold water storage tanks dating back to when the hotel was built in the 1930’s, which possibly makes these water tanks amongst the oldest tanks that we have ever worked on. Both of the riveted water tanks displayed advanced stages of corrosion and very deep pitting. For this project we used our potable water tank lining system with manual surface preparation. The work was completed on time with minimum disruption to the hotel. From our side it would have been possible to introduce water into the tanks 6 hours following the final application of resin. These combined works will extend the practical working life of these cold water tanks by another 20 years. The smaller water tank on the roof was of modern construction and made from welded galvanised steel sheet. Although the walls of the tank were in reasonably good condition, during surface preparation a hole about the size of a 50p had developed in the floor which needed to be repaired before the tank could be returned to service. The floor of this tank was literally being held together by rust. The hole was repaired by cleaning and priming the steel. A special resin mortar was applied to the area to strengthen and seal the area. A metal plate was then imbedded into the resin paste and everything over coated it with our water tank lining system, which avoided downtime and the need to have the tank section welded.
