Indefinite
With planned service contracts
Hours
Not days or weeks
Any Tank
Concrete, steel, or timber
A Timbertank kept on a planned service programme can be extended indefinitely in service life.
Routine service can often be completed in hours rather than forcing lengthy closures , especially valuable for local authorities and industrial operators who rely on continuous supply.
Ongoing commitment
Service contracts tailored to each installation , from routine cleaning to full rehabilitation.
With a consistent and well-planned service programme, the service life of a Timbertank can be extended indefinitely. The structure is inherently accessible for cleaning, inspection, repair, and liner-related work, which keeps maintenance practical rather than disruptive.
Timbertanks offers specified service contracts tailored to the requirements of each installation, and many local authority and industrial clients already rely on that programme for ongoing care with limited downtime.
Specified contracts
Service programmes are planned individually around each site and installation.
Short outages
Routine work generally takes only a few hours rather than long reservoir closures.
Easy intervention
Cleaning, service, and repair can be carried out with controlled and limited downtime.
Remotely operated vehicles give the service team a controlled way to assess and clean submerged tank areas. Where tank conditions allow, the work can be completed with water retained and with less interruption to the asset.
Underwater camera access helps the team review visible internal conditions, sediment build-up, liners, fittings, and other submerged areas before maintenance decisions are made.
A remotely operated vacuum removes settled material from the tank floor while reducing the need for manual entry. The approach can suit timber, steel, concrete, and other water tanks.
Timbertanks is increasingly being called upon to make failing concrete and steel tanks watertight again. Our liner systems, cable work, and roof solutions can be applied to restore function and recover value from assets that would otherwise continue to deteriorate.
That rehabilitation work is often a practical alternative to total replacement, especially where the existing structure still offers value but needs a robust internal and structural upgrade to return to service.
Concrete tanks
Liners and roof systems can restore waterproof performance and service reliability
Steel tanks
Cables, liners, and structural detailing can extend working life where replacement is not ideal
Asset recovery
Return function to threatened infrastructure and protect the original capital investment
As Timbertank applications have expanded, so has the range of supporting accessories and custom detailing. Standard configurations can be adapted around site access, operator safety, valve arrangements, instrumentation, and maintenance preferences.
Walkways, caged ladders, valve boxes, and water-level indicators are all common additions, and the system remains flexible enough to accommodate broader project-specific requirements as the operating brief evolves.
Access systems
Walkways and caged ladders for safe routine inspection and maintenance.
Control points
Valve boxes and related fittings integrated neatly into the installation.
Monitoring
Water-level indicators and project-specific accessories to suit operational needs.
