Nominations are Underway
for Tnemec’s 2013 Tank of
the Year Contest
Nominations are now being accepted for
Tnemec’s 2013 Tank of the Year compe-
tition, announced Doug Hansen, director
of sales, Water Tank Market. “This will be
the eighth consecutive year we will recog-
nize the aesthetic, creative and innovative
uses of Tnemec coatings on water tanks,”
Hansen explained. “The deadline for sub-
mitting new construction or renovation
projects is October 1st and all tank styles
are eligible as long as they are completed
by that deadline.”
Nominations can be submitted by vis-
iting www.tnemec.com/tankoftheyear. All
electronic nomination forms must be ac-
companied by a photo or photos of the
tank. Once the deadline has passed, a com-
mittee of water tank enthusiasts will judge
nominations based on several criteria in-
cluding artistic value, significance of the
tank to the surrounding community and
challenges encountered during the project.
Tnemec’s 2012 Tank of the Year
winner prevails in Okaloosa Island,
Florida. With breath-taking detail, the
tank stands as a representation of the
Emerald Coast’s beauty – a painting of
the white sandy beaches and aquamarine seas surrounding the 500,000 gallon
pedestal-style tank. The tank’s exterior
coating system, consisting of a prime
coat of Series 135 Chembuild an intermediate coat of Series 73 Endura-Shield
and a topcoat of the long-term gloss-retentive Series 700 HydroFlon was applied by Ohio-based American Suncraft
Construction Company and mural artist, Eric Henn, with engineering services
provided by Polyengineering, Inc., of
Shalimar, Florida.
“The judges were impressed by the tank’s
colorful artwork depicting the Emerald
Coast, which is named for the color of the
waters reflecting off the quartz sand beaches,” said Doug Hansen. “The tank is a tribute
to the efforts of Okaloosa County government and its citizens to protect their sugar-white beaches and emerald green waters
from all environmental threats.” This idea,
and the tank’s visual emergence, is what beat
out the competition of more than 200 Tank
of the Year nominations last year.
