At CSC Services, we know how vital the integrity of water infrastructure is, not just for today, but for years to come.
When a routine regulatory inspection uncovered critical coating failures in a service reservoir, our team stepped in with urgency, expertise and a focus on long-term protection.
During a regulatory inspection, CSC Services’ water industry specialists and the client’s project engineer discovered that the internal elastic polyurethane membrane lining of the service reservoir was beginning to fail. Signs of distress such as blistering, delamination and pin holing posed a real threat to the reservoir’s watertight seal. Additionally, the access cover which was once secure, showed signs of degradation as well as compromised seals, signalling growing concerns across the structure.
The job wasn’t a small touch up. It demanded careful planning and execution. The reservoir’s entire internal coating system had to be removed without damaging the underlying substrate. That meant balancing powerful removal techniques with gentle methods, all while working in a confined, critical environment. The challenge was substantial – a full-scale preparation, complex logistics and the need for absolute precision.
CSC Services answered the call with a finely tuned removal and coatings repair programme. Our team evaluated the condition thoroughly before implementing a multi-step approach. This began with the controlled removal of the failing membrane, combined with non-aggressive techniques such as high-pressure water jetting and hand tooling. This nuanced approach ensured the integrity of the substrate was preserved.
Once the old coating was stripped, we inspected the surfaces and prepared them for recoating, ensuring they met both industry and client standards.
The result was a clean, stable substrate ready for a new, durable lining that restores full functionality and prolongs service life.
This project underscores CSC Services’ commitment to asset longevity and operational safety. By removing failing materials and enabling a clean slate for reapplication, our work delivers:
