One of the many benefits of a flexible PVC liner is that only minimal prep work to the substrate area is usually needed to be done. With concrete applications extensive sand blasting and concrete repair isn’t necessary.

Because PVC tank liners are custom fabricated for an exact fit we require precise measurements of the area to be lined. Of those dimensions the most critical would be the inside dimensions of an outlet. Whether too big or too small, an ill-fitting outlet can lead to a premature failure of a flexible liner.

One of the benefits of a flexible PVC liner is that it requires minimal tank preparation which makes installation faster and easier than other lining systems. Before installing a liner there are some common sense considerations to make.

In an earlier post I listed some of the benefits that a flexible PVC liner can offer over an applied coating in providing corrosion resistance to a concrete containment area. I want to expand on one of those benefits; the uniform thickness of a PVC liner.

Witt flexible PVC tank liners can be built to handle accoutrements like outlets, sumps, manways, etc. The questions often asked is, “should they be built into the liner or made separate and field installed?” The answer is both – depending upon a number of factors.

One of the benefits of a Witt PVC liner is that in many cases the end-user can perform the installation themselves (see our video). For customers that don’t have the ability or the time to install themselves we offer a nationwide team of installers.

We can fabricate our tank liners to handle outlets and pipe penetrations. Piping that is straight but comes in at an angle to the tank can be lined but piping that has a bend isn’t as straight forward.

When fabricating a tank liner the more accurate dimensions we are given the better the fit of the liner. What we require are the exact inside dimensions of the tank. From that we will undersize or oversize the liner accordingly to make for a great fitting liner.

Measuring a tank for a drop in tank liner is a pretty easy process. There are a few things to keep in mind though when doing so.

As mentioned in a previous post on tank liners and weirs, building a tank weir into a tank liner is not the best method for handling this type of feature.
