Restoring Secondary Containment Integrity and Environmental Protection
Secondary containment systems are critical for preventing chemical leaks, environmental exposure, and regulatory violations. Over time, concrete and steel containment structures deteriorate due to chemical attack, moisture intrusion, corrosion, and physical wear. When containment systems fail, facilities face safety risks, compliance concerns, costly repairs and fines.
Secondary containment repair provides a proactive solution to restore containment integrity, protect underlying structures, and extend service life without full replacement.
RAK Industrial Services delivers secondary containment rehabilitation and lining solutions designed for long-term chemical resistance, corrosion protection, and regulatory compliance.
Common Secondary Containment Issues
- Cracked, spalled, or significantly damaged concrete
- Severely eroded concrete surfaces and exposed rebar
- Corroded steel structures
- Failed or delaminated coatings
- Chemical penetration
- Loss of containment barrier integrity
- Failed trenches or sumps
If left unaddressed, these issues can lead to leaks, environmental exposure, and expensive reconstruction.
