Problem vs Solution

   
• Finite Element Analysis (FEA) revealed the stainless steel tank was structurally deficient in multiple locations
   
• TankWrap™ structural calculations were performed to fully restore the structural deficiencies
   
• TankWrap™ was utilized in lieu of welded stainless steel angles due to ease of installation in restricted access areas
   
• The exterior of the tank was 200F and operated continuously during the installation
   
• Service life was extended 10 years in the localized areas repaired with TankWrap™
