tank renovation / defect removal

With TAK, old and defective systems can be renovated quickly and professionally!

Together with you, we will develop a transparent restructuring concept.

Here we work with the latest materials and processes!


In order to maintain the functionality of your tank system, tank renovation can help to save costs in the long term and also minimize the risk of oil leaks to protect the environment.

If, during a tank cleaning or a recurring inspection, it is determined that the tank system is no longer in a safe operating condition or that the tank drip tray has significant defects, we recommend renovating it using an inner tank lining (leak protection lining).

tank renovation

This special leak protection is designed for cylindrical and rectangular steel tank systems. By installing the leak protection lining, the tank becomes double-walled.

This means that complex renovation work on the tank rooms and tanks in accordance with TRbF 20 is no longer necessary. The leak protection lining is specially made for each tank. It is spread out inside the tank and fixed to the inside wall of the tank using a vacuum. A leak warning device is used to monitor and maintain the vacuum.

How much does tank renovation cost?

For our customers, the prices are fair and affordable.

The exact costs depend on the tank design, tank size, necessary assembly work and local conditions. Our experts will be happy to advise you and provide you with an individual offer!

We will discuss all relevant parameters for carrying out the work with you in advance and create a measurement sheet. Transparency when preparing an offer is our top priority.

Unlike other providers, we do not work with hidden costs, but with fixed prices .

Are heating oil tank systems or the construction of new tank systems still permitted?

What you need to know (as of 01/2023):

It is planned that from January 1, 2026, renewable energies will be used proportionally when installing a new oil heating system.
The type and level of required integration of renewable energies has not yet been determined.

Until December 31, 2025, the installation of a new oil heating system in an existing building will be possible as before.

  • In most cases, operators of heating oil tank systems do not yet have to take any action in connection with the Building Energy Act (GEG).

  • Systems that are more than 30 years old must be replaced or upgraded under certain circumstances. These requirements also apply if you modernise your property on a larger scale

  • There is no general ban on oil heating systems. However, the installation of oil boilers will no longer be permitted everywhere from 2024.
    However, oil heating systems may still be installed and put into operation until the end of 2023.

A plastic tank must be replaced if the following conditions apply:

  • Bulge in the bottom area of the tank (so-called elephant foot).

  • in the event of deformations in the tank roof, as this could endanger connecting lines for filling and venting the tank as well as for removing heating oil

  • in case of brittleness or heavily discolored container walls

  • if there are signs of excessive stretching

  • in the case of other irregularities in the tank system (e.g. tilted to the side, bulging or kinking inwards)

  • tilt of the container

Does my tank system meet the current legal requirements?

heating oil tank system

As the operator of a heating oil tank system, you are responsible for its proper operation.

According to Section 46 Paragraph 1 AwSV, the operator must also regularly ensure that the system is operated without defects.

As a specialized company, we would be happy to check this for you as part of a safety inspection.

The collecting tray or the collecting room was criticized.
What can I do?

The collection trays/collection rooms are often criticized during expert inspections. The problem with the collection rooms is that over time, cracks form in the paint and cement plaster in the masonry. Due to this damage, the protective function of the collection rooms is no longer ensured.

The defect may only be remedied by a specialist company.

A three-layer oil-resistant coating is required by law for the renovation of the drip tray. As a specialist company, we will work with you to find the optimal solution for the renovation of your tank system.
