Summary Of Works

Located in a dedicated plant room, the structure supplies all potable water supplies to the hospital. It is a twin compartment, sectional tank constructed from 1000mm x 1000mm galvanised, mild steel pressed panels.

The total size of the tank is approximately 7.0m long x 5.5m wide x 3.0m high and has an internal sectional, steel, divisional wall which splits the tank into 2 No. compartments, each sized at approximately:- 3m x 7m x 3m and 2.5m x 7m x 3m.

The internals of the steel substrate had been previously coated with a bitumen paint which should no longer be used in potable /drinking water tanks due to their carcinogenic properties and high solvent content which can leach into the water putting users at risk of serious health issues. This existing coating had started to de-bond from the steel substrate resulting in significant corrosion providing nutrients for harmful bacteria such as Legionella.
