SUBSURFACE WATER INFILTRATION REPAIR

Location

Water storage tank repair at One of the Petrol Station in Singapore

The caused of storage crack.

The crack in the storage tank is likely caused by the expansion and contraction of the ground due to temperature fluctuations, with cold and heat affecting the soil. This movement is leading to water seepage from the ground.

"Underground water slippage" refers to the movement of water through soil and rock layers beneath the surface, often occurring along fault lines or cracks where water can move more freely. This gradual movement of groundwater happens as the water flows more easily along existing paths, due to reduced friction between rock layers.

Technical Solutions

To seal the water leak from the crack, they are using our Smartstic Underwater solution to address the issue.

Carbon steel, stainless steel, industrial-grade plastic, and reinforced concrete are among the most used materials for manufacturing oil storage tanks. Generally, these materials need to be strong, durable, and resistant to corrosion caused by crude oil and petroleum-based products.
