About Project

Terre du Lac is a 1,200-acre recreational community located in near Bonne Terre, Missouri. The property houses several manmade lakes and a golf course and serves as a permanent home or weekend get-away for over 2,500 residents. In the fall of 2022, Thomas Industrial Coatings was contracted to renovate the exterior and interior of the water tower located in the center of the community.

Erected in 1968, the 50,000-gallon tank stands 56′-feet tall. The 4,000 square feet of the exterior of the tank was pressure washed and SSPC SP-11 power tool cleaned. A Sherwin Williams’ epoxy coating served as the primer and full intermediate coat, while an acrolon coating was applied as the finish coat. New stencils were put in place at the completion of the coating application.

The dry area of the steel tank interior measured 2,750 square feet and was pressure washed and solvent wiped prior to being SSPC SP11 power tool cleaned. Macropoxy 646 was used to prime the dry area and Macropoxy 920 was used as the intermediate coat. Macropoxy 646 was applied as the finish coat of the dry area interior. The 2,400 square feet of the wet area of the tank interior was abrasive blasted to an SP10 near white blast using coal slag. Macropoxy 646 PW was used to stripe coat, prime and finish the wet area of the tank.

In addition, the final line item was to pressure wash the concrete foundation of the tank and apply a coat of epoxy.
