Restore and upgrade the external structure of your fire water tank with durable coatings, structural reinforcement, and essential component upgrades designed for long-term reliability.
Australian Fire Tanks by Raven Tanks Australia provides professional fire tank refurbishment services designed to restore the structural integrity, external condition, and long-term performance of aging or weathered fire water tanks. Refurbishment focuses on repairing and upgrading external and structural components, helping extend tank lifespan and ensure reliable fire water storage capacity.
Our refurbishment service is ideal for steel, panel, and onsite-built fire water tanks that require structural attention, surface renewal, or external component replacement.
Fire tank refurbishment refers to the restoration and enhancement of the external and structural elements of a water tank without involving internal lining or leak repair work. It is a targeted service used to:
This makes refurbishment a cost-effective option for tanks that are structurally sound internally but require external renewal.
Over time, exposure to UV, moisture, and environmental conditions can cause coating breakdown and corrosion. Our refurbishment process includes:
These treatments help extend the service life of the steel structure and improve its performance under outdoor conditions.
Refurbishment may include strengthening or replacing damaged or weakened external elements such as:
Reinforcing these components ensures long-term tank stability and prevents structural failures during emergency water demand.
Fire water tanks rely on external components to operate correctly. As part of refurbishment, we can replace or upgrade:
Upgrading these elements improves operational safety and compliance readiness.
The tank roof is often the first element to deteriorate. Refurbishment services may include:
A restored roof helps protect water quality and prevents external contamination.
Your fire water tank may benefit from refurbishment if you notice:
Refurbishment is recommended when the internal tank condition is still sound, but the exterior requires renewal.
Each refurbishment project is tailored to the tank’s size, material, and environmental exposure. We focus exclusively on external and structural tank refurbishment, ensuring a service that complements — not duplicates — internal lining, repair, or inspection work.

We follow industry best practices for structural and external refurbishment, using durable materials and proven surface-treatment methods to ensure long-lasting performance.
Refurbishment is a cost-effective way to restore external condition, extend structural lifespan, and upgrade key components without the need for a full tank replacement.
Refurbishment typically includes external recoating, corrosion treatment, structural reinforcement, roof restoration, and upgrades to external components such as ladders, platforms, manways, and pipework.
Timeframes vary depending on the condition of the tank, but most refurbishment projects take from several days to a few weeks, covering all stages from surface preparation to final external finishing.
