What to Expect

What to Expect

Common questions about wastewater tank coating and lining — from lifespan to repair options.

  • Lifespan: 3-5 years basic maintenance, 15+ years with quality installation
  • Repairs: Yes, damage can be patched without full recoating
  • Benefits: Leak prevention, corrosion protection, extended infrastructure life
  • Downtime: We minimize facility disruption with efficient processes

Our Process

We evaluate your tank's current condition, identify corrosion, coating failures, and environmental factors to recommend the right coating system.

On-site tank condition assessmentCorrosion and coating failure analysisEnvironmental and safety hazard reviewCoating system recommendation

Proper surface prep is the foundation of a lasting coating. We blast surfaces to the required SSPC profile to ensure maximum adhesion.

Abrasive blasting to SSPC standardsRemoval of rust, old coatings, and contaminantsSurface profile verificationEnvironmental containment and dust control

Our SSPC-certified crews apply your coating system in controlled layers, verifying thickness and adhesion at every stage.

We perform a thorough final inspection, provide documentation, and hand off a tank that's ready for years of service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wastewater environments involve harsh chemicals, hydrogen sulfide gas, biological activity, and constant moisture — conditions that destroy standard coatings quickly. We use specialized systems like vinyl-ester linings and polyurea coatings that are engineered specifically for these extreme conditions.

All our crews are confined space entry certified and follow strict OSHA protocols. We perform atmospheric testing, establish ventilation, and maintain rescue-ready standby personnel for every interior tank project. Safety is never compromised.

Yes. We regularly work on active facilities, coordinating with plant operators to isolate individual tanks or sections while the rest of the facility continues operating. We plan our work to minimize any disruption to your treatment process.

Project duration depends on tank size, condition, and the lining system selected. A typical municipal clarifier or digester lining project takes 1 to 3 weeks from surface prep to final cure. We provide detailed timelines during the assessment phase.

What Our Clients Say

Markley Precision Company was easy to work with and the quality of their work is second to none. I have used them on three separate projects and have been very pleased with the quality of work each time. No job seems to be too big or too small. I have used them to blast and paint a 30,000 gallon propane tank, and to blast and paint our vertical bulk storage vessels for nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. They've even done work for me on the Lake Erie Islands, as well, which presented logistical challenges, but MPC didn't miss a beat. I would recommend MPC 100 out of 100 times.

Matt Drennen

Very happy with the work completed so far with MPC. Last year, I had them paint 5 of our 30,000 gallon bullet tanks. The work was completed quickly and professionally. With a years worth of age on them now, they still look as good as new! I was so pleased with their work on the tanks, I hired them to complete an even larger, more complex project blasting and recoating a natural gas processing mechanical refrigeration unit. Even when some concerns came up, they quickly remediated the situation. Extremely happy with the work they've performed!
