Project Description: The Ocean Sciences' tanks are located at the Memorial University in St. John's, Newfoundland. The consulting engineers required the existing fiber-reinforced polymer tanks to have new openings cut through the existing tank walls.
Solution: Back in September 2006, the decision was made to cut into the existing FRP tanks to accommodate new man-ways for maintenance access.
Fibrwrap Installations reinforced the bottom six-feet of the two tanks with 4 layers of Tyfo® SEH-51A System. An additional two-layers (16-inches wide), was then applied around the openings extending 12-inches beyond the opening edges.
