Client and Facility Overview
Specializing in tank storage and logistics, our client plays a critical role in the industrial landscape of the Gulf Coast. They manage an extensive array of facilities designed to safely and efficiently store and transport essential liquids and gasses. The site houses over 88 tanks that are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, including intense UV rays and a highly corrosive saltwater atmosphere. These tanks are integral to our client's operations, making their maintenance a high priority.
Driving Factors
With harsh environmental stressors such as relentless UV radiation and corrosive salt water, our client needed a robust protection system to prevent corrosion and extend the life of their tanks. In addition, this project aimed to improve the overall morale and appearance of the site by revitalizing the tank exteriors.
