3mm gallon elevated water storage tank |
|
3mm gallon elevated water storage tank for the city of Dallas. This job consisted of blasting the 63,000 sq.ft interior and applying a 10 mil 99.97% zinc metalizing lining system. It is the first of its kind in the southern United States using the very long life metalizing system. |
Lower Colorado River Authority Coal fired power plant |
|
Blastco is relining the failed reinforced vinylester system for the Lower Colorado River Authority's coal fired power plant at the Flue Gas Desulphurization facility in LaGrange, TX. We are using a Plasite 4301 glass reinforced system at 40 mils dft. The original system lasted for over 10 years but became fatigued by chemical and thermal attack from normal operation. |
