Fiberglass Pressure Vessels and Custom Tank Solutions

American Fiberglass Tank Repair provides FRP tank inspection, repair, relining, nozzle and manway modification, emergency response, heating panel repair, potable and process water tank repair, chemical storage tank repair, and tanker trailer relining. Services focus on extending the life of existing fiberglass vessels through engineer-driven evaluation, compatible materials, and field work scheduled around operational requirements.

An FRP tank should be inspected when it shows liner wear, spidering, weeping, shell distortion, nozzle stress, abrasion, chemical attack, or unexplained product loss. Periodic inspections are also recommended for critical storage assets, especially chemical, potable water, wastewater, and process tanks. AFTR uses visual, ultrasonic, laser, Barcol hardness, and high-intensity backlight methods to identify hidden deterioration.

In many cases, yes. FRP tanks with compromised corrosion coats, nozzle damage, impact damage, capillary migration, or localized structural problems can often be repaired or relined. Repair avoids replacement lead times, reduces capital expense, and keeps existing foundations, piping, and operating layouts intact. A detailed inspection determines whether targeted repair, full relining, or replacement is the safest path.

Yes. Emergency services are available 24/7 for incidents such as forklift impacts, dropped equipment, tipped tanks, sudden leaks, and urgent lining failures. Field crews mobilize with stocked Service-Pack containers carrying resins, glass media, tools, and repair materials. The response typically includes damage assessment, structural or lining repair, and inspection before the vessel returns to service.

AFTR works with custom-blended isophthalic and terephthalic polyester, vinylester, and epoxy resin systems for demanding chemicals and temperatures. Common applications include sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide, ferric chloride, hydrochloric acid, deionized water, potable water, and process fluids. Resin, veil, mat, and laminate selections are matched to the product, concentration, temperature, and tank condition.

Yes. Existing FRP nozzles, ports, and manways can often be relocated, resized, added, or blocked off without replacing the entire tank. The process includes preparing the tank body, cutting or closing ports, installing pre-fabricated nozzles, sealing internal surfaces, and laminating the assembly into the shell and corrosion lining using materials compatible with the tank’s service.

Services are scheduled around customer operations, including planned shutdowns, night shifts, weekends, and year-round maintenance windows. Crews can support routine work, urgent repairs, and outage-based relining projects. They are equipped to manage challenging ambient conditions with heating or cooling of the tank and work area, helping keep critical repairs aligned with production schedules.

American Fiberglass Tank Repair serves customers across all 50 U.S. states, including Hawaii and Puerto Rico, as well as Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and select international locations. The company also operates dedicated FRP tanker trailer relining facilities in Ashland, NH and Franklin, NH, supporting bulk chemical haulers and specialty fleets in the Eastern U.S. and Canada.
