A high-performance containment system starts long before the coating is applied—it starts with the right process.
When installing a polyurea lining to concrete containments, tank bases or trucking stations proper preparation and priming are critical to ensuring long-term performance and adhesion to the concrete substrate.
Key steps in the process:
✔ Surface Preparation – Abrasive blasting the concrete to achieve the required profile (CSP 3–5), opening pores for optimal bonding
✔ Thorough Cleaning – Removing all dust, debris, and contaminants that could compromise adhesion
✔ Concrete Repairs – Addressing small cracks, spalls, and penetrations to create a sound substrate
✔ Primer Application – Applying a compatible primer to seal the surface and promote maximum adhesion
✔ Polyurea Application (60 mils) – Spray-applying a seamless, chemical-resistant coating at the specified thickness for durability and containment integrity
The end result is a seamless, impermeable barrier designed to withstand harsh conditions, prevent leaks, and extend the life of the containment system.
At Bugle Energy Services, we focus on doing it right from the ground up—because quality prep and application make all the difference in the field.
