These 50,000-gallon FIREGUARD® tanks for Eastern Iowa Airport weigh over 113,000 lbs. each.

All interior and exterior coating processes required NACE Certified testing by a third party with surface preparation, WFT, DFT and holiday testing documented with daily inspection reports.

Included in the project are galvanized, yellow topcoat OSHA compliant catwalk systems with precisely located manway access toe boards. The catwalks were factory manufactured with mounting locations fit to a custom designed template which allowed for flawless installation at the job site.

The tanks were shipped in the customer required chronological order, using 12 axle, steerable RGN trailers for same-day delivery.

Our company used over 250 tons of ‘USA Made’ certified steel to fabricate these tanks, 40 tons of STI proprietary FIREGUARD® Premix and over 600 gallons of affiliate member coatings.

This project spanned 30 weeks of calendar time from start of project to the final pre-shipment inspection.
