Concrete Repair Water Industry Case Studies

A sustainable alternative to costly replacement, the Pitfodels Distribution Service Reservoir project showcases how Scottish Water, Morrison Construction, Fraser Bruce, and Sika® collaborated to deliver a complex repair and refurbishment. By strengthening and waterproofing the deteriorated 1930s structure with innovative Sika® systems, the team restored a vital drinking water supply at just a quarter of the cost of new build—futureproofing the reservoir for decades while saving around £3m and significantly reducing environmental impact.

Discover how Sika's Sikagard® P-770 & M-790 provided a reliable, weather-tolerant solution for external repairs, ensuring rapid completion under tight timelines and challenging conditions.

A refurbishment project of a failed concrete tank base using Sika’s Sikagard® M 790 system. Installed by Corroless Eastern Ltd, the vapour-permeable solution provided long-term protection against wastewater exposure, even in uncertain substrate conditions. The project was completed efficiently within two weeks, restoring the tank to full operational use.
