Corrosion & Coatings
Corrosion is the single largest driver of water tank deterioration in Australia, and it rarely announces itself early. By the time a coating failure is visible from the outside, the mechanism behind it has usually been running for years.
These articles cover how to read the failure modes, how coating systems and cathodic protection actually protect steel, and where concrete and steel assets deteriorate through fundamentally different processes that need different responses.
How to Read a Tank Coating Failure: Blistering, Delamination and Undercutting
Coating failure on a steel tank is not one thing — it is a diagnosis. Learn to read blistering, delamination, undercutting and holidays, and what each one tells you about the asset underneath.
