Tank container repair

Tank container repair: key features

Over time, even strong and hermetically sealed tanks require restoration. This is due to aggressive environments, pressure, the chemical activity of transported substances, and natural material wear.

Reasons for performing tank container repairs:

mechanical damage to the body or frame occurs due to careless loading or impact. Such damage compromises structural strength and requires urgent repair; leaks and seepage of contents indicate loss of tightness due to worn seams, valves, or damaged fittings; corrosion and coating deterioration impair the appearance, strength, and sanitary condition of the container, especially when transporting aggressive substances; frame or tank deformation may occur due to overload or falling, compromising the stability of the container; damage to insulation reduces thermal protection, which is critical when transporting temperature-sensitive cargoes; wear of fittings and valves leads to leaks and operational failures. A faulty sealing system must be replaced in a timely manner.

All work is accompanied by mandatory diagnostics and inspection. We eliminate the causes of malfunctions, not just the external signs, in order to extend the service life of the equipment and ensure its complete safety.

Tank container washing: an essential stage of service

Tank container washing is carried out using modern equipment and chemical solutions suitable for removing residues of chemical, food-grade, and other complex substances. It is especially important to conduct high-quality washing when changing the type of cargo or after transporting hazardous substances (for example, Class 6.1). The procedures include:

• internal and external washing;
• removal of deposits, build-up, and residues;
• cleaning after transporting latex and toxic substances;
• disinfection and purging of the tank;
• maintenance after washing and leak testing.

Washing is also carried out as part of scheduled maintenance before reloading. This helps keep containers in perfect condition and eliminates the risk of cargo contamination.
