Belzona 5892

Problem: The original tank was very rusted and the original coating was mostly worn off. They didn't even know if the tank could be saved but were willing to try a new coating system. This facility has many residents and they were afraid the tank would fail and there would not be any money budgeted to get a new tank as quickly as they would need it. This was the only tank they had for this purpose.
