Premier Tank Inc

Professional Water Tank Rehabilitation Across California

Premier Tank Inc provides comprehensive water tank rehabilitation services for large welded tanks serving municipalities, water districts, and industrial operations throughout California. With over 30 years of experience, we help clients restore aging water tanks to safe, reliable operating condition without the cost or disruption of full replacement.



Rehabilitation is the ideal solution for welded water tanks that are structurally sound but showing signs of age, corrosion, or outdated components. Our process combines inspection, repair, surface preparation, coating, and structural upgrades to significantly extend the service life of existing tank infrastructure.


All rehabilitation work is performed on location, allowing us to address site-specific conditions while minimizing downtime and operational impact.

What Is Water Tank Rehabilitation

Water tank rehabilitation is a structured process that restores and improves an existing tank rather than replacing it. Over time, welded tanks experience wear from constant water pressure, environmental exposure, temperature changes, and internal corrosion. While these conditions may not require demolition, they do demand professional attention.

Rehabilitation typically addresses:

  • Corrosion and coating failure
  • Weld fatigue and structural wear
  • Outdated access and safety features
  • Code or compliance deficiencies
  • Reduced operational efficiency

By addressing these issues together, rehabilitation provides a long-term solution that improves safety, performance, and reliability.

WHEN 

REHABILITATION

IS THE RIGHT CHOICE

Rehabilitation is often recommended when:

  • The tank structure is fundamentally sound
  • Corrosion is present but localized
  • Coatings or linings have reached the end of their service life
  • Inspection reports identify correctable deficiencies
  • Replacement costs are not justified

Premier Tank Inc works with owners, engineers, and inspectors to determine whether rehabilitation is the most practical option. Our goal is to deliver the most cost-effective solution that meets operational and regulatory needs.

REHABILITATION PROCESS

Each rehabilitation project is customized to the specific tank, site, and usage requirements. Our process is thorough, methodical, and designed to deliver lasting results.

01

Initial Inspection and Evaluation

Every rehabilitation project begins with a detailed evaluation of the tank’s condition. We review inspection reports when available and perform on-site assessments to identify structural concerns, corrosion patterns, and safety issues.

This evaluation allows us to define a clear scope of work and avoid unnecessary repairs.

02

Surface Preparation

Proper surface preparation is essential for successful rehabilitation. We remove deteriorated coatings, corrosion, and contaminants through methods such as blasting and grinding. This step exposes the underlying steel and ensures that repairs and new coatings bond correctly.

03

Structural Repairs and Reinforcement

Once surfaces are prepared, we address structural issues including:

  • Weld seam repairs
  • Plate section replacement
  • Reinforcement of weakened areas
  • Structural realignment as needed

All repairs are completed using certified welding methods appropriate for large welded tanks.

04

Coating and Lining Application

Protective coatings are applied to shield the tank from future corrosion and environmental damage. We work with approved coating systems suitable for the tank’s intended use and service environment.

Proper application extends service life and reduces maintenance needs.

05

Component and Safety Upgrades

Rehabilitation often includes upgrading tank components such as:

  • Access hatches and manways
  • Ladders, platforms, and railings
  • Vents and overflow systems
  • Nozzles and connection points

These upgrades improve safety, accessibility, and compliance with current standards.

06

Final Inspection and Documentation

After rehabilitation is complete, we perform final inspections and provide documentation to support compliance, future maintenance planning, and internal records.
