Interior of tank by CST Industries at DIP. |
Since all aspects of the water treatment facility expansion occurred simultaneously, the job site was active with numerous contractors installing everything from water pipe to pumps to machinery and more. The tank company was provided a compact and specific area for installation of the new structure. Due to its secure mechanical lifting and installation procedure, the build was completed quickly, safely and to specification.
While some tank installations require scaffolding or a time-consuming welding process, CST's bolted tank panels receive their coating at the factory within a controlled environment. Once the prepared panels arrive at the job site, they're installed ring by ring with mechanical lifting jacks that allow for work to be done on the ground level, guaranteeing the safety of personnel. Working on the ground also allows crews to inspect the quality of the tank build from every angle. The bolted panel design requires no welding, but rather simple hardware and gaskets or a sealant to install, ensuring a quick completion process.
The high-quality installation process used drew attention from nearby contractors, as well as from DIP project management, who were impressed with both the speed and safety of the build procedure. The tank's suitability for liquid storage, coupled with its competitive pricing and low-maintenance requirements, made it an excellent choice for the project.
Upon completion of the wastewater treatment plant's irrigation storage tank, DIP has once again engaged CST Industries to build an additional tank, which will be part of the commercial and residential development's West Park second municipal wastewater treatment plant.
