TMI Coatings has a proven track record in the dismantling and demolition of a
wide variety of tanks. The following describes specific projects in which TMI
safely and professionally dismantled and disposed of tanks following the
Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) rules and regulations.
Lead paint removal at specified intervals
Tank demolition in process
TMI removed the existing foam insulation and then demolished two 75,000 gallon
water storage tanks. The tanks were located on the roof of a large group of silos at Quaker Oats.
TMI removed the existing foam insulation and demolished a one million gallon
welded steel tank, 117 ft. in diameter x 42 ft. high. The tank also had red
lead primer underneath the foam, requiring the removal of foam to be done by
trained TMI workers. The existing foam insulation was transported and incinerated
outstate, per Minnesota environmental regulations.
TMI removed the existing roof of a 95 ft. diameter water reservoir and replaced
the roof with a new aluminum geodesic dome in Minnesota. The existing roof on
this tank was seriously corroded and required replacement. A 150-ton crane was
used to hoist the new geodesic roof frame into place on top of the reservoir
after being constructed on the ground adjacent to the tank.
TMI performed a demolition and removal in Texas of a 500,000 gallon elevated
water storage tank.
TMI removed paint containing lead prior to dismantling a tank in Cedar Park,
Texas. Paint removal was performed with vacuum shrouded power tools. After
removal of the lead paint, the tank was cut, dismantled and disposed of. At
completion of the demolition, TMI took post soil samples to confirm the soil
was clean of lead paint from the demolition process.
