Concrete tanks and waste treatment facilities are critical assets in the UK’s environmental infrastructure — from anaerobic digesters and bunded tanks to energy-from-waste plants and recycling centres. These structures are constantly exposed to harsh chemical, thermal, and mechanical conditions, making regular inspection and maintenance essential to avoid costly failures and environmental risks.
Common defects in reinforced concrete tanks include chemical attack, cracking, reinforcement corrosion, delamination, and concrete degradation due to aggressive waste byproducts. Without early intervention, such issues can lead to leakage, contamination, or even structural failure.
At The Concrete Consultancy 2000 Ltd, we specialise in the surveying, testing, and refurbishment of concrete tanks and waste facilities. Using a combination of visual inspections, hammer tap surveys, covermeter testing, carbonation and chloride profiling, and compressive strength analysis, we provide a full assessment of the asset’s condition. Our interpretive reports include tailored repair strategies, material specifications, and costed recommendations to guide maintenance planning.
We understand the operational sensitivity of these environments and work flexibly to minimise disruption, using non-destructive testing methods (NDT) and remote access solutions when required.
With over 25 years of experience in both public and private sectors, we help facility managers, utility providers, and local authorities maintain the safety, compliance, and long-term durability of their essential waste infrastructure.
