When concrete sumps suffer acid attack or steel vessels develop wall thinning, complete equipment replacement requires prolonged plant shutdowns and exorbitant civil expenditure. Our in-situ FRP relining service creates a monolithic, leak-proof composite barrier inside existing structures with minimal downtime.

For corroded concrete neutralizing sumps, failing rubber-lined steel tanks, and leaking clarifiers across industrial plants in Andhra Pradesh, our mobile engineering crew executes turnkey in-situ chemical barrier relining:
Following post-cure of the multi-layer fiberglass lining, our technicians scan 100% of the lined surface using high-voltage electrostatic spark testing (10,000V–15,000V DC). Any microscopic pinhole, air void, or thin spot creates an electrical arc to the substrate, triggering an audible alarm for immediate repair, guaranteeing 100% leak-tight chemical containment.
We transform raw customer concept drawings, site laser scans, or damaged metal components into production-ready 3D CAD solid models. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) validates stress distribution, wind overturning moments (IS 875 Part 3), seismic base shears (IS 1893), and nozzle stress concentrations prior to mould tooling fabrication.
Step-by-step methodologies for on-site pipe jointing, tank foundation alignment, relining, and residual life assessment.
Connecting large-diameter filament-wound composite pipes on site requires strict adherence to ASME Section X and ASTM D6041 butt-and-strap jointing standards. Unlike welded steel pipes that require certified radiographic weld inspection, composite field lamination relies on controlled surface grinding, resin wetting, and progressive ply step-down overlapping.
Our field crew executes pipe jointing through a 5-step sequence:
Concrete secondary containment dykes, neutralizer pits, and battery room trenches in chemical plants suffer severe degradation when exposed to intermittent chemical spills. We execute monolithic multi-layer composite relining:
Industrial composite assets operating beyond 10 to 15 years require periodic plant shutdown inspection to evaluate residual structural life. Our technical team conducts comprehensive on-site RLA audits comprising:
From pre-fabrication site audits to crane rigging, hydrostatic proof testing, and confined space safety.
Lifting and positioning large-diameter FRP composite vessels and structural towers requires specialized rigging procedures to prevent point-load crushing of thin-walled shells. Unlike steel vessels which can be choked with steel wire ropes, FRP equipment requires broad, non-abrasive synthetic web slings (minimum 100 mm to 150 mm width) and dedicated spreader beams.
Prior to introducing aggressive industrial chemicals into newly installed composite tanks or piping systems, a strict 3-stage pre-commissioning verification is completed:
Detailed contractor guidance, flanged connection torque protocols, confined space entry, and field QA.
Improper torque application on FRP composite flanges is the leading cause of joint weeping and cracked flange hubs in industrial piping installations. Unlike ductile steel flanges that can tolerate uneven excessive bolting loads, FRP flanges require sequential cross-pattern star tightening using calibrated click-type torque wrenches.
Our standard field installation manual specifies:
Executing internal vessel inspections, barrier relining, or nozzle retrofits inside chemical storage tanks and neutralizing sumps requires strict compliance with industrial confined space entry protocols:
