Tank Restoration & Lining
Steel Tank Lining
Internal lining that stops corrosion and protects stored product in steel tanks.
Steel Tank Lining and Corrosion Protection
Steel tanks corrode from the inside when exposed to water, fuels and chemicals. An internal lining isolates the steel from the stored liquid, extending tank life and protecting product quality.
Falcon prepares the steel surface to the required standard and applies a lining system suited to the stored liquid and temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a corroded steel tank be lined?
If the remaining steel thickness and structural condition allow, yes. Thickness inspection determines whether lining or another route is appropriate.
What surface preparation is needed?
Steel is cleaned and profiled, usually by abrasive blasting to the specified cleanliness and profile, because lining adhesion depends on it.
Do you line fuel tanks?
Lining suitability depends on the fuel type and requirements, and we confirm compatibility first.
