A Midwest dairy plant with 19 tanks, ranging in size from 25’ high to 59’ high, plus some horizontal tanks as well, were a collection of both white and beige tanks added to their plant over the years. They were ready to have a uniform appearance on all tanks. Caution was taken by TMI to protect their vehicles in the plant parking lot (car covers were utilized) and all tank exteriors were pressure washed to clean. Rusted areas were hand tool cleaned – severe rust was removed by brush sandblasting. Both lifts and bosun chairs were used to access all areas of the tanks. Due to the proximity of the vehicle parking lot, TMI chose to brush and roll the tank exteriors. A high gloss urethane was chosen in white, which has excellent color retention.

Before After

TMI Coatings performed protective coating work on three dust collectors, structural steel and catwalks at Mycogen Seeds in Marshalltown, Iowa. TMI performed pressure washing to thoroughly clean all dust collectors and catwalks. The steel was sandblasted to clean and roughen further creating an anchor pattern for new paint adhesion. All steel was primed with a rust-inhibitive metal primer before applying a direct-to-metal paint coating material suitable for industrial environments.
