(1) empty the tank (to eliminate continued water pressure on the wall)
(2) sandblast the outside of the tank
(3) apply a sealant to the outside to the cleaned concrete (to stop flow after it has gotten through the old wall), then wrap the tank with fiberglass to reinforce the old walls
(4) then wrap the outside wall with tension cables to prevent the walls from structurally failing?
That is, use the exterior sealant and fiberglass to prevent seepage through, and use the outside fiberglass and cables to prevent wall failure against the static pressure?
