The best time to protect the soil-facing side of a tank bottom is before it becomes the underside of a completed tank.
Once the floor is installed and the tank is in service, access becomes limited, inspection becomes more complicated, and repair activity becomes more disruptive. That is why soil-facing corrosion should be treated as a prevention opportunity, not only a future maintenance issue.
The workflow starts upstream: drawings, plate dimensions, surface preparation, application, QA, staging, delivery, and the correct field procedure.
The tip: move soil-facing corrosion protection into the build process while the steel can still be accessed, inspected, and verified.
EonCoat supports that approach by chemically bonding to properly prepared carbon steel and creating a permanent corrosion solution before the plate is placed into service.
