Elevated Tank No. 8 and No. 1 Rehabilitation - Bid Award
History
Elevated Tank No. 8 (Tank 8) is located at 15501 Park Station Boulevard, was built in 1979 by Chicago Bridge & Ironworks, and is a 500,000-gallon elevated single pedestal tank.
Elevated Tank No. 1 (Tank 1) is located at 117801 S. Wolf Road, was built in 1994, also by Chicago Bridge & Iron Works, and is a 2,000,000-gallon elevated single pedestal tank.
In October 2015, Pittsburg Tank & Tower Maintenance Company was hired to complete a full inspection of all seven (7) water towers. At the time of the inspection, Tanks 8 & 1 had very minor failures in the coating system, so it was recommended to renovate the tanks in the next five (5) years. Due to the other towers having more immediate concerns, as the annual plan was developed for all the towers, Tanks 8 & 1 were pushed slightly further out.
On June 26, 2019, the Illinois EPA conducted an inspection of the Village’s water system. Though no violations were found, the report did include a recommendation to address paint issues and re-paint Tank 8 & 1. Village staff was then required to submit a plan of action to comply with its recommendation. The Illinois EPA was informed that plans to renovate all seven (7) water towers was already underway.
Tanks 8 & 1 will be the sixth and the seventh, respectively, of seven (7) water towers to be rehabilitated. Public Works staff has been working closely with Christopher B. Burke Engineering on the rehabilitation design. The rehabilitation work includes surface repair and repainting, a new concrete floor, antenna and fall protection corral, and miscellaneous steelwork. The new exterior paint scheme is proposed to match the paint scheme that was Board approved in 2019, which features the new Village logo and white exterior on Tank 1. Tank 8 will also have a Centennial West logo added that was Board approved.
