Elevated Tanks Restored In Calhoun Falls

12/29/2015

0 Comments

 
In 2013, Dunn & Associates assisted the Town of Calhoun Falls in researching funding opportunities to completely rehabilitate the two (2) elevated water storage tanks serving the Town.  The tanks were in serious need of repair and repainting so we pursued a grant through the SC Rural Infrastructure Authority. 

Thanks to the hard work of our team, the Town, and the RIA staff, a grant of $293,000 was secured in mid-2014 and we are now in the final stages of closing the project out.  Utility Service Co., Inc. did a fantastic job and the Town now has a state of the art paint system installed on its tanks that will serve future generations to come!

William Street Tank

The Williams Street Tank is a 250,000 gallon multi-leg tank that stands visible from Highway 72.  With several coats of paint delaminating (peeling) from the steel structure, it was recommended to completely strip all of the existing lead-based paint from the interior and exterior by sandblasting within a full containment curtain to ensure protection of the surrounding environment.  The new paint system is a Tnemec product and will last for 25-30 years!  We worked with the Town and the contractor to develop a new logo using Tanklogos.com so that the Williams Street Tank can stand as a “welcome sign” as you ride along Highway 72 into Town.

​State Park Tank

As the name indicates, the 100,000 gallon State Park Tank was constructed inside the Calhoun Falls State Park in 1989.  Because the tank is “newer”, the existing paint was in relatively good shape and was a candidate for routine recoating.  This process involved the power washing and cleaning of all interior and exterior surfaces, followed by painting with a Tnemec product designed to last 20-25 years!

Clemson University is a special place for all of the engineers at Dunn & Associates.  As alumni, we celebrate the University’s academic and athletic accomplishments and have embraced the opportunity to develop a professional relationship with the University as well.  

In 2012, we were tasked with conducting a capacity study for the water and sewer systems to determine the impact of the Douthit Hills Student Community.  We continued our analysis of the University’s water system in 2013 and designed modifications to the iconic Kite Hill Water Standpipe that were constructed in 2014.  We are pleased to announce that after a year of hard work, our latest design, a new 1 Million Gallon elevated water storage tank, is currently under construction! 

Located off of Clemson Boulevard (Hwy 76) and Highway 93, the new tank will be constructed over the next two (2) years under the supervision of Holder Construction.  The tank site has been cleared of trees and earthwork has begun.  We will continue to share periodic project updates! 

Go Tigers!
