Industrial Tank Color Coding & Safety System Install in Beloit, WI

Location:Beloit, Wisconsin
Location:Beloit, Wisconsin

Client and Facility Overview

Fairbanks Morse, located in Beloit, Wisconsin, operates a specialized industrial facility featuring test stand equipment and associated storage tanks. The project took place at their White Avenue location, which maintains strict safety protocols for their industrial operations. Butters Fetting Inc., the primary contractor, partnered with Painters USA to ensure proper execution of the tank identification system.

Requested Maintenance

The client required a comprehensive color-coding system for their LE01 Test Stand HT/LT & LO tanks and associated piping. This color-coding initiative was implemented to:

  • Enhance facility safety through clear visual identification of stored liquids
  • Meet rigorous facility safety requirements
  • Establish consistent compliance with Fairbanks Morse Defense Test Stand standard color palette
  • Include newly installed tanks and connected piping systems

Decision Driver and Timing

The implementation of a standardized color-coding system was driven by the critical need for immediate visual identification of tank contents, directly supporting workplace safety protocols. The project timing aligned with the installation of new tanks, ensuring proper identification systems were in place from the start of operations.

Scope of Work

Surface Preparation: Hand cleaning and power tool preparation of new steel tanks and piping to ensure optimal coating adhesion

Coating Application: Two-coat system utilizing SW Macro-Poxy, selected for its durability and performance in industrial settings

Safety Implementation: Comprehensive safety measures including:

  • Establishment of Controlled Access Zones (CAZ) with red boundary tape
  • Full PPE requirements including protective gloves, spray suits, and respirators
  • Safety cone and caution tape deployment
  • Proper aerial lift certification and harness requirements

Project Management: 

  • Coordination with facility operations for power access (110 20-amp)
  • Waste management through designated hoppers
  • Clear communication protocols for any unforeseen conditions
  • Quality control throughout application process

Notable Details

Safety Protocols: Implemented extensive safety measures including a detailed Controlled Access Zone (CAZ) system to protect both workers and facility personnel during the coating application process

Specialized Standards: Adhered to Fairbanks Morse Defense Test Stand's specific color palette requirements, ensuring consistency with facility-wide identification protocols

Quality Assurance: Maintained strict quality control through a two-coat application system, ensuring proper coverage and durability

Coordination Planning: Established clear delineation of responsibilities between Painters USA and facility management, including power source access and equipment logistics

Contingency Management: Incorporated detailed unforeseen conditions protocols with a two-day notification window for addressing unexpected challenges

Client Satisfaction

The project was successfully completed within the contracted budget, meeting all safety requirements and facility standards. The new color-coding system provides clear visual identification of tank contents, enhancing operational safety and efficiency at the facility. The professional execution and attention to safety protocols aligned perfectly with Fairbanks Morse's high industrial standards.
