Tank Repair Solutions for Corrosion
Tanks can face corrosion after years of use depending on the conditions. Customized and timely tank repair solutions for corrosion are pertinent to ensure your plant gets back on track and fast.
Corrosion often occurs in hidden areas, on bottom heads, or on the inner portion of the tanks. Many tanks experience corrosion on the floor and floor-to-wall joint. In traditional repair options, these can be difficult to reach and repair. Additionally, this can create delays in production and high costs for the facility.
From small patches to a complete rebuild and replacement of the bottom head, Gilbert Industries will engineer and develop a custom tank repair solution.
We are an ASME R Stamp Holder and also have extensive experience with the API 653 standard for repairs.
Our corrosion repair services:
- Bottom Head Replacements

State of the Art Tank Bottom Head Repair System
In addition to other corrosion services, Gilbert Industries has an industry leading process of repairing and/or replacing corroded bottom heads.
Our experienced welders implement our system with little to no disruption to the operations of the plant. This avoids time-consuming and costly tank replacement.
From industries such as Biofuel to Chemical to Food and Beverage, we minimize this downtime to just a few days. Whereas, most plants are accustomed to seeing shut downs for weeks with this type of repair.
The advanced engineering and technology of Gilbert’s decades-long proven tank repair system can be customized to aid in many situations and to a wide range of tanks. Often times our system provides the opportunity to replace just the bottom portion without removing the tank or disconnecting it from surrounding components.
Because we meet the tank literally where it is, our system can be used to repair any damage to a tank, no matter the size or severity, location of tank or operating conditions.

We are actually there right now." He is specifically proud of the way our fabrication team is able to "react quick". He also stated, "We have quality welders on site with decades of experience to handle whatever comes their way."
