Challenge

The Star Valley – Green Canyon potable water tank exhibited significant signs of deterioration, posing a direct threat to both structural integrity and potable water quality. As a critical asset for the community, immediate intervention was required to mitigate corrosion risks and prevent potential service interruptions. Full tank replacement was deemed impractical due to high costs and the operational complexities associated with prolonged system downtime. The municipality needed a rehabilitation solution that could be deployed rapidly, comply with rigorous potable water standards, and offer long-term durability.

Results

By implementing OBIC's Armor multi-layer system, approximately 13,000 square feet of tank interior were efficiently rehabilitated in just seven days. The project delivered substantial value, extending the tank's service life by decades, reinforcing structural stability, and safeguarding water quality for the community. This cost-effective, minimally disruptive solution allowed the municipality to avoid a full replacement, minimize system downtime, and achieve a strong long-term return on investment.

About your Customer

OBIC delivers innovative, no-dig repair solutions for municipal and industrial water and wastewater structures, providing durable, customizable products engineered to extend system lifespans by 50 years or more.

The Challenge

The Star Valley – Green Canyon potable water tank, a vital component of the community's water infrastructure, was experiencing advanced deterioration. Corrosion and structural weakening threatened not only the integrity of the tank but also the safety and quality of the potable water supply. With full replacement posing substantial financial and operational challenges, the municipality required a rapid, compliant, and durable rehabilitation solution that would minimize service disruptions and protect public health.

The Solution

After a comprehensive evaluation of available options, the project team partnered with Advanced Lining, an OBIC-certified installer renowned for expertise in surface preparation and high-performance coating application. The tank interior was meticulously sandblasted to achieve the required Concrete Surface Profile (CSP), optimizing adhesion for the restoration system. Advanced Lining then installed the OBIC Armor multi-layer system, which combines a high-performance polyurea coating with a closed-cell foam backing. This engineered solution provides exceptional corrosion resistance, structural reinforcement, and long-term protection specifically tailored for the demands of potable water environments. The streamlined installation process enabled the full rehabilitation of approximately 13,000 square feet within just seven days, ensuring minimal downtime and compliance with industry standards.

The Results

The application of OBIC's Armor system resulted in a robust rehabilitation of the Star Valley – Green Canyon potable water tank, with measurable impact across key performance indicators:

• 13,000 square feet of surface area treated

• Project completed in only 7 days, minimizing community disruption

• Service life extended by decades, reducing the frequency of major interventions

• Structural integrity reinforced to withstand future operational stresses

• Water quality protected for the community

• Cost savings realized by avoiding a full tank replacement OBIC's proven solution enabled the municipality to maximize infrastructure lifespan, ensure regulatory compliance, and achieve significant return on investment while safeguarding critical water resources.
