Water Truck Tank Crack Repair and Reinforcement
What the customer needed
A water truck tank had developed cracks. They needed repairing and reinforcing to stop the damage from spreading and keep the truck working.
What we did
We ground the inside of the tank clean to remove the damaged material. Then we bent and formed 1/8 inch flat bar to match the inside shape of the tank, heated and positioned each reinforcement piece, and welded it into place with 0.045 inch E71T dual shield wire.
What made it tricky
Damaged material, rust and very tight access inside the tank. Forming the reinforcement to the tank's own shape is what let the repair be done properly.
The result
The truck was repaired without unnecessary downtime, so the customer could keep working.
