The autumn scenery in Vail provided an impressive backdrop for one of our recent projects. Our team completed overflow protection improvements on an existing water storage tank.
Our crew prepped the site, safely took down and secured the communication tower and railing, and added new overflow fittings to the tank. We then installed about 90 feet of overflow pipe, designed to handle up to 3,500 gallons per minute, with check valves and three concrete bases to hold it in place.
Overflow piping gives a tank a safe, controlled way to release excess water if it ever fills past capacity, which protects the tank and the surrounding ground from damage and erosion. The check valves help keep the water supply clean by preventing outside water, debris, and critters from getting into the tank through the pipe.
Thank you to our client for the opportunity to support their water system, and to our field crew for their work on this one.
