Behind the Scenes: Restoring a Corroded Storage Tank with HJ3 TankWrap™
Go behind the scenes of a real-world storage tank repair, addressing generalized steel loss and pitting. See how HJ3’s TankWrap™ carbon fiber composite system delivered a fast, cost-effective repair with minimal downtime, avoiding the need for full tank replacement.
Behind the Scenes: Restoring a Corroded Storage Tank with HJ3 TankWrap™
A recent Tank Repair project addressed a common but critical asset integrity challenge: a storage tank experiencing generalized steel loss and pitting.
These degradation mechanisms, if left unaddressed, can significantly reduce structural integrity, increase safety risks, and accelerate the need for costly asset replacement. Rather than pursuing a disruptive and capital-intensive replacement strategy, the asset owner partnered with HJ3 Composite Technologies to implement a more efficient solution.
Proven in the Field
Our team rapidly assessed the damage, and collaborated closely with an HJ3-certified installer to engineer a repair strategy, and deploy the HJ3 TankWrap™ carbon fiber composite repair system. The result was a streamlined installation process designed to restore structural performance while minimizing operational downtime.
The HJ3 TankWrap™ System Advantage
The HJ3 TankWrap™ system is engineered to address corrosion-related defects such as steel loss and pitting by reinforcing the tank shell with high-strength carbon fiber composites. This approach delivers:
Structural reinforcement
Minimal disruption to operations
Extended service life of existing assets
Significant cost savings compared to full tank replacement
A Smarter Alternative to Replacement
This project highlights how advanced composite repair technologies can provide a safe, compliant, and cost-effective alternative to traditional repair or replacement methods. By leveraging certified installers, engineered systems, and a proven execution framework, HJ3 helps asset owners maintain reliability while controlling risk and cost.
When critical infrastructure fails, time is everything. HJ3’s Speed to Solution™ delivers same-day design calculations, same-day shipments, and no surcharge fees. From shipping $3M in materials in a week to supporting emergency asset repairs, HJ3’s all-in response model sets a new standard in rapid, reliable service.
HJ3’s patented carbon fiber repair system with ESD technology restores structural integrity and safely dissipates static. NFPA-69 compliant, cold-applied, and explosion-resistant, this technology is ideal for high-risk power generation environments.
