A Fresh Look for Long Island’s Tallest Water Tank

The Greenlawn Water District owns and maintains the tallest water storage tank on Long Island. At 219 feet above grade, the tank holds 1 million gallons of water to help support water pressures to Greenlawn’s 12,000 customers. H2M performed preliminary inspection, prepared plans and specifications for the rehabilitation of the tank and provided inspection services during the rehab.

Beginning with a Present Condition Evaluation (PCE), H2M conducted a comprehensive, on-site evaluation of the structure’s current condition. Certain design elements required specialized treatment, such as containment during abrasive blasting operations, considerations for the height of the structure and VOC limitations for potable water interior coating systems in New York State.

Upon completion of the project on schedule and within budget, Robert Santoriello, Superintendent of the Greenlawn Water District said, “This is a prime example of a well-organized firm, keeping us informed throughout the project. H2M has an intimate involvement with the project to ensure success when the final product is completed.”
