Tank Refurbishing Across Western Canada and Alaska
──
Age, corrosion and demanding operating conditions can take their toll on production tanks, but replacement is not always the only option. Integral Manufacturing And Coatings Ltd provides complete tank refurbishment services to extend asset life and restore tanks to safe, reliable operation.
From minor repairs to full rebuilds, each tank is assessed individually. Refurbishment can include structural repairs, component replacement, modifications, surface preparation and industrial coatings based on the tank's condition and operational requirements.
Signs a Tank May Be Ready for Refurbishment
A tank may be worth evaluating when it shows:
🌢 Corrosion or surface deterioration
🌢 Worn or failing coatings
🌢 Damaged or worn components
🌢 Localized damage that may be repairable
🌢 Changing operating requirements requiring modifications
The overall condition of the tank must be assessed to determine whether refurbishment is practical and cost-effective.
Benefits of Tank Refurbishment
When the existing tank is suitable for restoration, refurbishment can provide:
Extended Service Life
Keep a viable asset working longer instead of replacing it prematurely.
Restored Reliability
Repairs and component replacement can help return the tank to dependable operation.
Improved Corrosion Protection
Surface preparation and new protective coatings help renew protection against demanding environments.
Potential Capital-Cost Savings
Refurbishment can cost less than replacing the entire asset when restoration is practical.

Refurbish or Replace?
The right choice depends on the tank's overall condition, extent of corrosion or damage, required repairs, operating needs and the cost of refurbishment compared with replacement.
If the tank can be safely and economically restored, refurbishment may extend its service life while reducing capital costs. Where deterioration is too extensive, replacement may be the more practical option.
