Movement of the ground can cause concrete to crack and break. Flexible liners will move with the ground. Leak monitors can be installed with a liner enabling leaks to be repaired before any major damage is done. Some fertilizer chemicals have been known to seep through concrete containment. Flexible tank liners are made with many different types of formulas to contain specific chemicals, ensuring no leakage or breakdown of the liner system.
Space is another main reason liners are preferable over concrete.
The amount of space needed for concrete as secondary containment may be impaired because of other structures, tanks, etc. A liner can be mechanically installed inside the tank with a leak monitor. This gives dual containment with added protection that a leak can be confined to the area between the tank and the liner, and the leak can be repaired before any chemical is spilled onto the ground. Field Lining Systems Inc., can custom fabricate any size liner to fit inside your vessel, keep your farm pond from losing water, cover your crops or fabricate a berm around your storage tank to keep chemicals from seeping into the soil or surrounding area. A liner system in your storage tank will also ensure a longer life for your vessel, keeping corrosive chemicals from damaging the container.
