About Project

The Millwood Water Treatment Plant in Ashdown, Arkansas, is part of the Texarkana Water Utilities and serves the citizens of southwest Arkansas.

In February of 2022, Thomas Industrial Coatings (TIC) started a six-week project to renovate two settling basins (20,760 square feet) in the water treatment facility. The scope of work called for SSPC HP WC high-pressure water cleaning, muriatic acid cleaning, and SSPC SP 7 brush blasting of the floors.

A 3,500-square-foot flocculation (waste mixer) was also part of the renovation project, with the same surface preparation performed. Additionally, one of the basins required the exact scope of work to extend two feet past the basin wall. This basin also required approximately 800 square feet of concrete repairs and key joint saw cutting to terminate the liner consistently. To complete the scope, the scrubbers in the basins were removed with a crane before production.

The coating system used was ceramic epoxy, applied using a plural-component paint pump. All project areas received two applications of 50 mils dry film thickness each, while specific coatings were used to remediate exposed rebar and spalling concrete areas.
