Full interior and exterior rehabilitation

Gaffney, SC — Gaffney Board of Public Works
A complete interior and exterior rehab of one of the most recognizable landmarks in the US.
Cayce, SC — City of Cayce
A high-solids, low-VOC interior lining protects against corrosion, and a fluoropolymer exterior holds its color and gloss. Voted the 2018 Tnemec Tank of the Year People's Choice, it serves more than 14,000 people in Cayce.
Mount Jackson, VA — Town of Mount Jackson
Interior and exterior coating of an elevated tank
Fort Mill, SC — York County
Interior and exterior rehab of a 250,000-gallon spheroid painted as a giant baseball, a well-known landmark beside I-77 in Fort Mill. The restored stitching is finished in fluoropolymer for long-lasting color, and the tank was runner-up in the 2011 Tnemec Tank of the Year.
Columbia, SC — City of Columbia
Rehab of a 1.5-million-gallon bolted steel tank built in 1925, renovated instead of replaced. The tank stands on more than 25 legs in a residential neighborhood, so full containment kept blast debris off nearby homes, streets and trees, with no neighbor complaints.
Anderson, SC — City of Anderson
Two new 500,000-gallon tanks painted as hot-air balloons, with multicolor stripes and the pedestals styled as passenger baskets, to promote the city's Great Southeast BalloonFest. Finished with a clear urethane over the color coats for long-lasting gloss, and winner of the 2007 Tnemec Tank of the Year.

High-performance metallic coatings for the exterior exposed steel.
Greensboro, NC — Cone Health
Exterior repaint
Charleston, SC — South Carolina Aquarium
Exterior repaint of the aquarium's steel framing and precast concrete walls on Charleston Harbor, using a fluoropolymer finish on the steel and a breathable acrylic on the concrete to stand up to salt air and hurricane weather. The work was planned around historic-district approvals and the animals living in the work areas.
Charlotte, NC — Carolina Panthers
Restored the stadium's weathered precast concrete panels with a clear water repellent and a wet-look acrylic topcoat that brought back the natural masonry color. The work was done in stages of about 80,000 sq ft so it didn't disrupt football season.
Greenville, SC — City of Greenville
Resinous deck finish for the curved Liberty Bridge, the award-winning centerpiece of downtown Greenville's Falls Park. A 1/8-inch aggregate floor with a UV-resistant urethane finish was chosen for abrasion and slip resistance under heavy foot traffic.
Abbeville, SC — Prysmian Group
Painting of the exterior concrete tower.
North Carolina
Two resinous flooring systems for a new manufacturing facility: a high-gloss blue epoxy with a clear polyurethane topcoat, plus a decorative flake broadcast floor. Durable enough for industrial use, with a high-end architectural look.
Manning, SC — Clarendon County
Patterned exterior coating on tilt-up panels of a new industrial-park spec building (GC: MB Kahn; architect: Carlisle Associates)
Concord, NC — Car Wash
Recoated aged exterior siding
South Carolina
Seamless, slip-resistant resinous flooring for a high school's concession stand and restrooms. The system's base layer tolerates moisture coming up through the concrete slab, and the floor stands up to heavy foot traffic, abrasion, and the constant heavy-duty washing and wet conditions these spaces see.
Goose Creek, SC — Dominion Energy
Recoat of a 550-ft-long power plant cooling tower whose original 1985 Tnemec system lasted more than 30 years. The retained riser piping was shop-blasted and recoated, the rebuilt tower was coated on site during the coldest months of the year, and the plant stayed in operation throughout.
