Recent projects undertaken by our dedicated teams of in-house fibreglass laminating technicians. All of these applications have ensured that industry have fulfilled their environmental and health & safety responsibilities.

	Braithwaite Sectional Water Tank MILD STEEL SECTIONAL BRAITHWAITE WATER TANK This Braithwaite water storage tank situated at a school in Weaverham, Cheshire supplied water for both the hot and cold systems but had not been treated for over 40 years. Although the tank was not leaking it was severely corroded inside contaminating the water it contained. The built up layers of corrosion were removed manually and then the internal surfaces were grit blasted to provide an acceptable profile for the new lining. Sturmac applied a 3mm thick laminate to all internal areas, followed by a polyester gel coat. The result was a complete success, returning a product that is contaminant free and can be easily cleaned and maintained. View an interactive slideshow of this project here
	Cylindrical Tank Sturmac were asked to provide a solution to this leaking, bitumen coated cylindrical mixing tank, situated in Liverpool. Ordinarily the preparation would be shot-blasting to remove the existing coating and to provide a key for the new fibreglass lining. Due to the characteristics of bitumen this was not possible, instead a barrier layer of a 2 pack water based epoxy primer was applied to seal the bitumen and provide an acceptable surface to fibreglass line.

	Gas Oil / Diesel Bund With the implementation of the Environmental Agency’s new regulations concerning secondary containment areas, Sturmac were commissioned to ensure this bund area complied. The bund belonging to a Cheshire based food manufacturing company was leaking through the brickwork. With an impervious fibreglass lining applied to all internal surfaces conformity was assured.

	Molasses / Animal Fat Bund This newly constructed secondary containment area, owned by an animal feeds manufacturer located in Cheshire, was required to comply with the Environmental Agency’s legislation regarding such areas. Sturmac were contracted to provide a completely leak-proof fibreglass lining. View an interactive slideshow of this project here
	Water Feature Water Features historically suffer from leakages, this one sited in public gardens, North London was no exception. Sturmac were engaged to rectify the problems. The area was shot-blasted to remove the existing degraded coating and 2 layers of fibreglass matting and 1 layer of fibreglass tissue were applied, followed by a pigmented Gel Coat. This returned a seamless, watertight lining. View an interactive slideshow here
	Pressing Plant Fibreglass Repair This pressing plant, sited in Merseyside, was holed and badly leaking. Due to this a slip hazard had been created to the floor area alongside the equipment. By patch repairing the holed sections using pre-fabricated fibreglass strips adhered using bonding paste and overlaid with 2 applications of fibreglass matting, the equipment was repaired and the Health & Safety issue negated.
