Water Treatment

Water & Wastewater Treatment Lining and Containment Systems

Water and wastewater treatment facilities require protective lining and containment systems designed to perform in environments with constant moisture exposure, chemical contact, and long service life expectations. Concrete infrastructure in these facilities is continually exposed to conditions that can lead to deterioration if left unprotected.

Abate & Associates installs industrial lining and containment systems for water and wastewater treatment infrastructure, focusing on long-term protection of concrete assets and reduced maintenance over time.

Where We Commonly Work

We work within existing treatment infrastructure to install protective systems in critical areas, including:

• Tanks, basins, and clarifiers

• Channels, trenches, and process areas

• Primary and secondary containment zones

• Wet, damp, and continuously submerged environments

Each area presents different exposure conditions and performance requirements that must be addressed through proper system selection and detailing.

What We’re Solving in Water Treatment Facilities

Concrete structures in water and wastewater facilities are exposed to a combination of challenges that can significantly reduce service life. Common issues we address include:

• Constant moisture exposure leading to concrete degradation

• Chemical attack from treatment chemicals and by-products

• Surface erosion and deterioration in high-flow or submerged areas

• Absorption and contamination in unprotected concrete

• Infrastructure requiring frequent repair or maintenance

Protective lining and containment systems help isolate concrete from these conditions and support long-term infrastructure performance.

Lining and Containment Systems We Install

Abate & Associates installs chemical-resistant and moisture-tolerant lining systems designed specifically for water and wastewater treatment environments. Applications commonly include:

• Tank, basin, and channel linings

• Primary and secondary containment systems

• Trench and process area linings

• Concrete protection in continuously wet or submerged service

System selection is based on chemical exposure, moisture conditions, service environment, and expected service life.

Where required, we work with manufacturers to select systems appropriate for the application.

Surface Preparation and Installation

Long-term performance depends on proper surface preparation and installation. Concrete substrates are mechanically prepared to remove contamination, open the surface, and ensure proper adhesion of lining systems.

Installations are completed with attention to detailing, continuity, and durability, ensuring suitability for infrastructure environments.

Built for Long-Term Infrastructure Performance

Water and wastewater facilities require systems that perform reliably over time, not just at installation. Our approach focuses on:

• Correct surface preparation

• Moisture-tolerant and chemical-resistant systems

• Practical installations suited to infrastructure environments

• Protection of concrete assets to support long-term service life

We deliver proven solutions designed to support reliability, durability, and lifecycle performance in water and wastewater treatment facilities.
