Water & Wastewater Coating & Repair Services

Immersion is the hardest service a coating ever sees, and here it is the default condition. Clarifier floors, basin walls, and steel tanks corrode wherever flow turns stagnant and the old lining has worn through. We prepare the interior and apply the lining as one continuous cold-cure film. No liner-replacement weld seams to recoat, and no heat soak on thin shell steel. The asset comes back inside the same shutdown the utility already scheduled.

On potable assets we work only with materials certified safe for direct drinking-water contact, on steel tanks and on the concrete in tanks and channels alike. Secondary containment and process walls take a chemical-resistant lining matched to the worst-case spill. On tank bases we seal the steel-to-concrete chime against the water ingress that rots floor plate from underneath. Digesters and process vessels running hot and aggressive take a ceramic-filled immersion lining built for that load.

Pumps and valves are where lost efficiency turns up on the power bill. Erosion-corrosion and cavitation reshape impeller vanes and casing profiles until the pump is off its head curve. We rebuild the vane geometry and the casing wear areas, then lay a smooth coating that restores the hydraulic profile. No weld heat goes in, so the impeller needs no rebalancing for a heat-affected zone. Cavitation-prone surfaces take a cold-applied elastomer that absorbs the implosion energy rather than letting it pit the metal.

Valve bodies erode down the flow path and corrode at the gasket faces, and they fail there long before the trim or the actuator does. We rebuild the eroded body cavities and bonnet faces cold, then overcoat with an erosion-resistant layer, so the valve is restored without ever being cut out for the shop. Worn shafts, journals, and keyways get rebuilt cold and machined back to the specified diameter. Pump and machine bases get re-grouted to spread load evenly and pull vibration out of the rotating gear.

Concrete around a plant takes a beating from spalling, acid attack, and exposed rebar that keeps the spall cycle running. We rebuild and resurface damaged concrete cold, from crack patching to deep bulk-fill, and we prime exposed reinforcing bar before the cover goes back on, so the corrosion that caused the spall actually stops. Acid-retaining walls, drains, and channels take a chemical-resistant lining over prepared concrete. Worked joints get resealed with a flexible compound that moves instead of splitting open again.

Structural steel, handrails, supports, and skids lose paint or galvanizing at the edges and welds first. We blast-clean the steel and apply a barrier coating that resets the recoat clock and keeps a corroded handrail anchor from turning into a fall hazard. Pipework and tank exteriors take the same treatment at supports, girth welds, and coating gaps, before metal loss ever reaches an inspection limit.

Bends, tees, and elbows wear first, because flow turbulence concentrates erosion and corrosion at every change of direction. We line and wrap those contoured fittings with a composite that follows the geometry, so the spool stays put instead of being cut out and re-welded. Thinned or damaged pressurized pipe takes an engineered resin-and-fiber wrap applied with the line still online. That work follows the recognized composite-repair practices the inspection world knows, ISO 24817 and ASME PCC-2.

When a line is already weeping, we seal the live leak cold with the line still pressurized, then overwrap it for a permanent fix, with no product evacuation and no hot work. Corroded pipe and tank walls, pinholes, and through-wall defects get rebuilt with compounds that bond to damp, contaminated steel. The result is the same across all of it. The basin stays wet, the flow keeps moving, the downtime stays inside the window you planned, and the repaired asset comes back on its design profile rather than waiting on a replacement order. If it cannot wait, the 24-hour on-call crew is already nearby on the Texas Gulf Coast.
