Tank panel replacement is a targeted structural service designed to restore the integrity of water storage systems where individual panels or panel sections have deteriorated, deformed, or failed. This approach allows affected areas to be addressed without dismantling or replacing the entire tank.
Raven Tanks delivers panel replacement solutions for operational water storage assets where safety, compliance, or performance must be restored efficiently. Each project is assessed individually to ensure the replacement scope is appropriate to the tank’s condition and operating requirements.
All works are planned to minimise downtime and site disruption, allowing systems to return to service as quickly as possible following panel replacement.
Panel replacement may be required for both potable water and fire water storage tanks when corrosion, impact damage, coating failure, or long-term wear compromises specific panels. While refurbishment and replacement are often discussed together, panel replacement represents a distinct structural solution.
Raven Tanks provides dedicated panel replacement services for galvanised water tanks and fire tanks, ensuring compromised panels are removed and replaced with compliant components. This process supports the original design life of the tank while maintaining operational safety and regulatory alignment.
Panel replacement is undertaken independently of routine maintenance and inspection programs, ensuring a clear service boundary and fit-for-purpose outcomes.
In many cases, damage is limited to a single panel or a small number of panels rather than the entire tank structure. Panel replacement provides a practical solution by addressing only the affected areas while preserving the remaining tank components.
Our team isolates the replacement zone, removes damaged panels, and installs new panels compatible with the existing tank configuration. Once complete, the tank can be safely returned to service following controlled refilling and verification checks.
Some applications require uninterrupted access to water during panel replacement works. Where system downtime is not acceptable, temporary bypass panel tank installations can be provided to maintain water availability throughout the replacement process.
These temporary systems are configured to suit site-specific flow, capacity, and regulatory requirements, allowing operations to continue while permanent panel replacement works are completed.
Where panel degradation is extensive and replacement is no longer viable, complete tank removal may be required as a preparatory step for system upgrades or new installations.
Raven Tanks can safely dismantle existing panel tanks, manage transportation, and remove redundant components in accordance with site and environmental requirements. This service is delivered only when panel replacement is deemed unsuitable.
Following panel replacement or tank removal, new tank installations can be delivered where system redesign or capacity upgrades are required. Raven Tanks supplies and installs panel tanks configured to suit site constraints, operational demands, and long-term performance objectives.
Each installation is planned to integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure while meeting applicable standards and compliance requirements.
Panel replacement works often require adjustments to associated pipework, fittings, and electrical components. All plumbing and electrical connectivity is managed by licensed, qualified technicians to ensure safe and compliant system operation.
Where required, existing connections can be upgraded or reconfigured to align with the new panel layout and restore full system functionality.
Panel replacement projects require precise coordination, controlled sequencing, and strict site management to ensure safety, compliance, and uninterrupted operations. Raven Tanks delivers end-to-end project oversight, covering planning, access control, installation scheduling, and post-replacement verification.
Each project is managed with careful consideration of surrounding infrastructure, operational requirements, and site-specific constraints. Our teams work efficiently within industrial, commercial, and municipal environments to minimise disruption while maintaining consistent quality standards.
Where panel replacement restores structural performance locally, broader deterioration may indicate the need for more comprehensive refurbishment solutions to support long-term asset integrity and service life.
We know our clients often have important questions before starting a project. Here are clear answers to help you make informed decisions with confidence.
Tank panel replacement is suitable when damage is isolated to individual panels and the overall tank structure remains sound. This approach allows structural performance to be restored without full tank removal or major system changes.
In most cases, the tank is temporarily isolated and drained to allow safe panel removal and installation. Where continuous water availability is required, alternative arrangements may be considered during the replacement process.
Yes. Replacing compromised panels helps restore structural integrity and supports continued operation, provided the remaining components meet design and performance requirements.
The scope is defined based on visible condition, access limitations, and structural assessment outcomes. Replacement recommendations focus only on affected panels to ensure efficient, targeted remediation.
