Cleaning it out
Confined space work, in a harness, moving material that has been settling for years. It is the least glamorous thing we do and the thing most likely to buy a tank another decade.

Liner replacement, internal cleaning and scheduled servicing that keeps a tank watertight and compliant.
A tank that somebody checks does not usually become an emergency. A tank that nobody checks eventually does, and it picks the moment.
Sludge and build-up out, floor and walls back to something you can actually inspect.
A worn liner swapped out before it fails, in a shell that is otherwise good for years yet.
Eyes on the seams, the seals, the roof steel and the access, and a straight answer on what needs doing and when.
Work planned around your shutdown rather than around ours, so the tank is out of service once and not twice.
We service tanks we did not build. Most of the ones we service, we did not build.
Crews working both islands out of Christchurch, so a servicing round does not need a local contractor in every region.
Almost all of this work happens where the owner never looks. That is exactly why it gets left, and why leaving it costs more than doing it.

A liner is a consumable. The shell around it is not. Replacing one before it goes is a service call, and replacing one after it goes is a very different conversation.
What changes between a fire water tank and an effluent tank is the liner, the fittings and the compliance around it. The steel gets the same treatment either way.
