Challenge
The City of Preston needed to protect nearly 9,000 square feet of newly constructed concrete at its wastewater treatment facility from hydrogen sulfide exposure and harsh service conditions. Without protection, the assets faced accelerated corrosion, structural damage, and increased maintenance costs, requiring a durable, high-performance solution with minimal operational disruption.
Results
Advanced Lining applied OBIC’s Armor Multi-Layer System to deliver long-term corrosion resistance and structural protection. Surface preparation was completed in five days, and the full coating process finished ahead of schedule in two and a half weeks. The project reduced lifecycle maintenance costs, avoided future repairs, and ensured reliable performance for decades, earning praise from inspectors for quality, safety, and attention to detail.

About Advanced Lining Solutions
Advanced Lining is an OBIC-certified installer serving Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Utah, known for precision work, rigorous safety standards, and expertise in large infrastructure projects.The Challenge
When the City of Preston embarked on a significant upgrade to its wastewater treatment facility, it confronted a major risk: nearly 9,000 square feet of new concrete structures were exposed to harsh hydrogen sulfide gas and abrasive flows. Without advanced protection, these critical assets faced accelerated corrosion, deterioration, and potential unplanned repairs, threatening both operational reliability and budget stability. The city’s proactive objective was to implement a protective solution at the outset to secure infrastructure lifespan and minimize long-term maintenance demands.
The Solution
Recognizing the demanding requirements of municipal wastewater infrastructure, Preston selected Advanced Lining a proven OBIC-certified installer known for precision and rigorous safety standards across the Mountain West. After evaluating available technologies, the city chose the OBIC Armor Multi-Layer System for its combination of closed-cell polyurethane foam and polyurea, designed specifically to withstand corrosive, high-impact, and chemically aggressive environments. The installation team completed thorough surface preparation in five days and applied the multi-layer coating system in just two and a half weeks. Project inspectors noted, “Both praised the crew’s attention to detail, quality control, and commitment to safety.” This high standard of workmanship ensured optimal adhesion and long-term performance.
The Results
The completed project delivered robust protection for all new concrete structures, with 9,000 square feet successfully coated and safeguarded well ahead of the October 2024 completion deadline. By preventing corrosion and structural degradation, the city avoided future repair costs and costly facility downtime. The OBIC Armor Multi-Layer System provided enhanced chemical and impact resistance, guaranteeing decades of reliable, efficient wastewater operations. The project’s success is reflected in the performance metrics: 5 days for prep, 2.5 weeks for coating, and a flawless safety record, all validated by third-party quality assurance and inspector praise for Advanced Lining’s execution.
