FORT Facility Kft. - Surface cleaning, cleaning

Tank cleaning is a specialist surface cleaning service for the internal and external surfaces of industrial, operational, building-services and other process tanks. The appropriate cleaning method is always selected according to the material, size, condition, accessibility and previous use of the tank, as well as the type of contamination present.

We provide tank cleaning using chemical cleaning, high-pressure water cleaning, soda blasting, sandblasting, dry ice cleaning and laser cleaning. The aim in every case is to ensure that the process is effective, controlled and adapted to the underlying surface.

We clean tanks made from carbon steel, stainless steel and concrete. Depending on the task, cleaning can be carried out on the external surfaces, internal surfaces or both. For internal tank cleaning, accessibility, safe working conditions, ventilation and a detailed assessment of the site are particularly important.

Every tank cleaning project is preceded by an on-site survey. During this assessment, we determine the required technology, equipment, working method and schedule, as well as whether external or internal scaffolding will be required. Tank cleaning is carried out at the customer’s site and adapted to the specific industrial or institutional environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which technologies are used for tank cleaning?

The cleaning technology is always selected according to the material, condition, size and accessibility of the tank and the type of contamination. Depending on the task, we may use chemical cleaning, high-pressure water cleaning, soda blasting, sandblasting, dry ice cleaning or laser cleaning.

Do we provide internal tank cleaning?

Yes. We also clean internal tank surfaces. In these cases, the work is preceded by a detailed on-site assessment, as accessibility, ventilation, safe working conditions and the condition of the tank fundamentally influence how the project can be carried out.

Can scaffolding be required during tank cleaning?

Yes. For larger, taller or difficult-to-access tanks, external or internal scaffolding may be required. This is always determined during the site survey, based on the design of the tank and the accessibility of the surfaces to be cleaned.

Can tank cleaning damage the surface?

The technology is always adapted to the material and condition of the tank. Carbon steel, stainless steel and concrete tanks may each require different cleaning methods. Careful technology selection helps achieve effective cleaning while protecting the underlying surface as far as possible.

Why is an on-site survey important before tank cleaning?

Tank cleaning is a complex task, and the exact technology, equipment requirements, working method, scaffolding requirements and schedule can only be determined once the site conditions are known. The assessment allows us to select an appropriate, effective and safe cleaning solution.

Choosing the right cleaning technology can result in significant time and cost savings.

For more than 35 years, we have been helping our clients select the most effective cleaning and surface cleaning solutions throughout Budapest and across Hungary.
