Rehabilitation of two1.5MG and 2MG hydro-pillars for Bucks County Water and Sewer Authority
Owned and operated by Bucks County Water and Sewer Authority, the Neshaminy water tanks are prominent landmark for commuters traveling on Rte. 1 in Neshaminy, PA . Give their high visibility status, the Owner and Engineer insisted that high quality, high-performance coatings were specified and installed on the two hydro-pillar tanks. The cost to contain and refinish water tanks along a major US road is substantial, so it was paramount for Bucks County Water and Sewer Authority to use coatings that would elongate the service life of the tank refinishing projects. By using the highest quality materials available to them, BCWSA will benefit from a lower maintenance cost and lower overall cost of tank ownership . As the quality leader in water tank coatings, Tnemec Company high-performance coatings were selected to protect these valuable tank assets. Tnemec Series 701 Hydroflon was specified as the preferred exterior finish coat material because of its industry leading color and gloss retentive properties. Bucks County residents will enjoy these well maintained water tanks for years to come. Table 1 below highlights how Tnemec fluoropolymer materials compare to and outperform other industry materials.
