WHAT IS CONCRETE
TANK WATERPROOFING?
Concrete tank waterproofing – the name says it all! Concrete tank waterproofing is the process of applying durable, corrosion-resistant, and watertight coatings to concrete storage tanks for both internal or external protection. It’s used across diverse private, commercial, and industrial sectors and applications, most often for storing large volumes of water, whether it be drinking water, coolant, or wastewater. Without this added layer of protection, concrete tanks are susceptible to leaks, structural damage, and contamination, risking the safety and usability of contained fluids. For the best, all-purpose protection from water damage, corrosion, infiltration, and more, opt for polyurea concrete tank waterproofing technology.
WHY CHOOSE POLYUREA FOR
CONCRETE TANK WATERPROOFING?
ArmorThane specializes in polyurea coatings technology for a reason! Polyureas are some of the strongest, most versatile coatings available anywhere, and have been used for just about everything you can think of. From industrial flooring and farm equipment coatings to even military blast mitigation and radar absorbance, polyurea is high-performing and all-purpose. For concrete tanks, they offer a unique combination of durability and flexibility, and can easily withstand extreme temperatures, UV rays, high-moisture, harsh abrasion, and forceful impacts. If that wasn’t already enough, polyurea is also safer and more sustainable than traditional alternatives, as it’s made from 100% solids, and with no solvents or volatile organic chemicals (VOCs). Together, this means concrete storage tanks can stand the test of time, and continue to safely and securely store water and other liquids to sustain our populations, power our homes, or process our waste.
TYPES OF WATER TANKS USING
POLYUREA PROTECTIVE COATINGS
Polyurea concrete waterproofing is used extensively across industries and use cases to protect concrete storage tanks from water damage and beyond. Here are just a few common examples:
- Potable concrete water tanks, which serve to store and protect drinking water.
- Stormwater tanks that help manage water runoff and prevent flooding.
- Penstocks can be described as intake structures that help efficiently flow fluids and water in power plants, dams, wastewater treatment facilities, and hydroelectric power plants.
- Industrial and domestic wastewater centers responsible for water purification and distribution.
- Water systems for nuclear power plants, fundamental to their regular and controlled operation.
- Effluent tanks used in the petrochemical industry for oil and gas extraction.

FAQ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Ultimately, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for protecting or waterproofing concrete tanks, and thus we see wide ranging technologies employed for concrete tank waterproofing. However, for the best and most versatile coatings perfect for nearly any surface, and for any application, polyurea remains far and ahead. Polyurea is strong, flexible, safe, and long-lasting, making it the premier waterproofing solution.
As they say, nothing is certain except death and taxes! Likewise, nothing lasts forever, but some things last for a very, very long time. This includes polyurea concrete tank waterproofing, which can provide robust waterproofing for up to several decades or more, with little to no maintenance. So while not technically permanent, with proper application, polyurea coatings can outlast the lifetime of even the structures they protect!
Concrete water storage tanks make for safe and durable containers, perfect for storing everything from wastewater to potable water. However, without protection and maintenance, concrete tanks can crack or leak, causing operational delays, safety concerns, and often huge expenses. Polyurea waterproofing can help prevent cracks and leaks, and protect concrete water tanks from myriad other risks and stressors, inside and out.
