Secondary Containment Coatings

Repair. Protect. Comply.

Secondary containment is your last line of defense against environmental contamination and workplace exposure. When these areas deteriorate, they put your facility, employees, and compliance record at risk. Banks Industrial Group (BIG) specializes in restoring damaged containment structures and applying Belzona’s advanced protective coatings to stop acids, caustics, and other aggressive chemicals from attacking your concrete. The result is long-term protection that reduces risk, extends service life, and keeps your operations moving safely and efficiently.

Minimal Downtime: Fast-curing formulations minimize downtime, often returning containment areas to service within hours instead of weeks required for traditional concrete repairs
Superior Protection: Exceptional chemical resistance shields concrete from acids, caustics, and solvents, even under high-temperature or immersion conditions, extending containment service life
Strong: High-strength mortars rebuild deteriorated concrete with outstanding compressive strength and impact resistance, restoring structural integrity without costly reconstruction
Tenacious Bond: Strong adhesion to concrete, brick, steel, and stone prevents disbondment, ensuring long-term durability and reliable protection in harsh industrial environments
Safe: Cold-applied, 100% solids systems ensure safer application with no hot work, VOCs, or curing delays—keeping projects safety-compliant and operations running smoothly
Elastic Options: Flexible crack-bridging coatings maintain protection even if concrete moves or settles, preventing leaks, failures, and environmental contamination
Versatile: product range allows precise matching of coatings and mortars to each facility’s chemical exposures, operating conditions, and compliance requirements

Restore Instead of Rebuild

Replacing crumbling containment areas can take weeks, cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and shut down operations at critical times. BIG offers a smarter option: restore what you have. Our Belzona repair mortars rebuild eroded floors, spalled walls, and weakened sumps with exceptional compressive strength and impact resistance. Once restored, we seal the surface with chemical-resistant epoxy coatings engineered to withstand everything from splash-and-spill conditions to full immersion in concentrated acids and caustics.

By extending the life of deteriorated structures, our solutions save clients money, reduce downtime, and buy valuable time to plan for eventual replacement on their terms—not under emergency conditions.

Comprehensive Containment Protection

Every project begins with a detailed site evaluation to identify the chemicals involved, exposure conditions, and structural issues. From there, BIG’s trained technicians restore the concrete, seal joints and cracks, and apply the correct protective system to match your environment. Belzona coatings offer outstanding adhesion, crack-bridging flexibility, and proven resistance to aggressive chemicals such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and caustic soda—even at elevated temperatures.

Because our materials are cold-applied, 100% solids, and solvent-free, application is fast, safe, and environmentally responsible. In many cases, containment areas are walk-on ready in just hours and fully resistant to chemical exposure within days—far faster than traditional concrete work.

Extend Service Life, Reduce Costs

Restoration is more than a patch—it’s an investment in longevity. By rebuilding damaged concrete and adding a chemical-resistant barrier, BIG helps clients extend the service life of their existing assets, often by many years. This not only reduces the frequency of major capital projects but also prevents unexpected shutdowns caused by sudden failures. Many clients use our containment restoration services to bridge the gap between today’s repair and a scheduled replacement years down the road, ensuring safe, compliant operation in the meantime.
