Reservoir Lining Contractors
Line or reline steel, concrete and farm reservoirs with PVC, HDPE or bitumen systems matched to structure, water chemistry and how the reservoir is used.
Reservoirs take many forms in South Africa — corrugated galvanised steel tanks on farms, concrete farm dams, process ponds at mines and flat-roofed storage on commercial sites. Each substrate needs a different lining approach. Damtech supplies and installs PVC inside steel tanks, HDPE on prepared earth reservoirs, and torch-on bitumen where rigid concrete walls must be bonded waterproof.

Reservoir Lining Options
PVC is flexible, cost-effective inside steel shells and smaller ponds. HDPE suits large surface areas and exposed earth batters with UV-stable grades. Bitumen torch-on bonds to primed concrete where sheet geomembrane cannot anchor to vertical rigid walls alone.
Steel Reservoirs
Corrugated galvanised tanks from Damtech include PVC lining, columns, inlet/outlet and overflow as standard. Relining replaces failed PVC without scrapping sound steel — common when outlets corrode or lining ages past weld integrity at the floor seam.
Concrete Reservoirs
Farm cement dams, irrigation canals and commercial water-retaining structures often receive torch-on bitumen after crack repair and moisture testing. HDPE may line earth embankments surrounding concrete walls where a hybrid system is required.
PVC, HDPE and Bitumen Comparison
Choose PVC for tank interiors and compact ponds; HDPE for hectares-scale lining; bitumen where heat-bonded adhesion to concrete is mandatory. We inspect first rather than defaulting to one catalogue product.
Repair and Relining
Failed internal liners, delaminated torch-on and outlet leaks are repaired or fully relined after substrate assessment. Pair reservoir work with our leaking dam repair service when earth dams and tanks share one water system.
