At the methanol plant, lining of the reinforced-concrete fire water tank with anchor sheet has been completed.

13 February 2025

At the methanol production facility of JSC «Metafrax Chemicals», contractor LLC "Sitistroy" successfully completed the lining of a reinforced concrete water storage tank for the fire protection system using V–LOCK polymer anchor sheet.

Lining with V–LOCK anchor sheet (TU 2246-003-56910145-2014) is a reliable engineering solution for protecting reinforced concrete structures against various types of wear and damage. It addresses a number of issues that arise during the operation of industrial sites:

  • Abrasion: V–LOCK sheet has high abrasion resistance, ensuring durability even under intensive use.

  • Liquid infiltration and leakage: The polyethylene from which the anchor sheet is made reliably protects reinforced concrete walls against the penetration of moisture and other liquids, creating reliable waterproofing.

  • Waterproofing failure due to ground settlement: The polymer sheet preserves the waterproofing layer even when ground levels change, ensuring structural stability.

  • Concrete deterioration: V–LOCK lining prevents concrete deterioration, extending the service life of the tank.

Construction of the facility continued from October 2024 to February 2025. The fire water tank measured 12 x 18 x 4 metres, with a volume of 850 cubic metres.
