Containment Linings in Utah
Alchemy Contractors provides containment lining services for concrete floors, walls, pits and trenches at Utah industrial and commercial facilities. A lining is the protective barrier applied to the containment structure; it is not a temporary dust enclosure. The scope starts with the existing substrate, the liquids it may contact and the facility's operating conditions. We coordinate surface preparation, concrete repairs, coating application and details around joints and penetrations so the specified system can perform as intended.
Protect concrete pits, trenches and containment walls with chemical-resistant lining systems. Discuss surface preparation and repairs with Alchemy in Utah.
Service Scope
- Condition assessment of existing concrete and coatings
- Removal of unsound coatings and preparation for adhesion

- Chemical-resistant lining application to floors and walls
- Joint, corner, drain and penetration detailing
- Relining and localized repairs to existing containment surfaces
Typical Applications
- Process-area containment
- Concrete pits and trenches
- Tank bund walls and floors
- Liquid collection areas
Project Planning
- Identify the chemicals, concentrations, temperatures and potential exposure duration before selecting a lining.
- Review moisture, cracks, existing coatings and substrate condition; these can change the preparation and repair scope.
- Coordinate access, ventilation, curing time and return to service with facility operations.
- Agree on inspection requirements, including thickness or holiday testing when specified for the selected system.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between containment linings and secondary containment?
Containment linings are protective barriers applied to a structure. Secondary containment is the surrounding area or structure intended to collect a release from a tank, vessel or process. A secondary containment area may need a chemical-resistant lining, but its capacity and design are separate engineering considerations.
Can an existing concrete containment area be relined?
Often it can, but the surface must be evaluated first. Loose coatings, contaminated concrete, moisture, movement and active cracks can affect adhesion. The repair and preparation scope should be established before choosing a replacement system.
What information should I send for a containment lining estimate?
Send the Utah project location, approximate floor and wall areas, photographs, current coating condition, chemical exposure information and access or shutdown dates. Specifications and drawings help define joints, drains, penetrations and inspection requirements.
