In-Situ Double Wall Fiberglass Tank Construction
Florida DEP Approved Tank EQ# 979
The Rafibra Systems converts a single wall tank to a double wall tank within the existing tank with an interstitial space that can be continuously monitored.
​
The work consists of manufacturing a double wall tank inside an old tank, with a permanent leak detection solution, transforming a single wall tank into a double wall one.

The Rafibra System is used on:
-
Underground and aboveground storage tanks
-
Vertical and horizontal fuel tanks
-
Retail and private fueling stations
-
Oil refineries, Petrochemical and other fuel storage facilities
-
Double wall tanks which are past their life expectancy
-
Single wall steel and fiberglass tanks being converted to double wall tanks
Advantage of our Method:
-
The process takes only 7 days per tank as opposed to an average of 2 months for the traditional tank replacement project
-
Project can be scheduled within weeks as opposed to several months for a tank replacement
-
The structural strength is superior and without a match in the industry and can withstand a pressure test of 70 PSI. A typical shop fabricated tank can only withstand 3 to 5 PSI
-
Most cities and towns do not require special construction permits and approvals for this system
-
Does not have the risk of “change orders” for shoring or dewatering often part of a traditional tank replacement project
-
The cost is less than half of a traditional tank replacement
-
Facilities can remain open while the tanks are built in-situ
