A concrete water tank stores the water your household or building drinks, cooks and bathes with. If its lining fails or isn't potable-safe, you risk leaks, contamination and concrete damage. Here's what every property owner in Qatar should know.
Tank linings must do two things ordinary coatings don't: hold water under constant pressure from the inside, and be non-toxic and safe for drinking water. Using a general waterproofing product inside a potable tank is a serious mistake.
We line concrete water tanks with SR Flex — an acrylic-modified cementitious coating that is tested to BS 6920 for potable water, resists hydrostatic pressure (tested to 50 m head), bonds to damp concrete and stays flexible. It protects both the water and the structure.
Have tanks inspected periodically and re-coated when the lining shows wear. Catching it early avoids contamination and costly structural repair.
We supply and apply potable-safe tank waterproofing across Qatar. Book a free tank inspection or learn about SR Flex.
Yes. SR Flex is non-toxic and tested to BS 6920 for contact with potable water, making it suitable for lining concrete drinking-water tanks and reservoirs.
With a quality potable-safe lining, 8–10+ years is typical. We recommend a periodic inspection to catch wear early and re-coat before problems develop.
Yes — we drain, prepare, apply and cure the lining efficiently, then it's flood-tested before being returned to service. We schedule to minimise downtime.
