A newly-constructed tank in Grand Prairie, TX was recently crowned this year’s Tank of the Year competition, hosted by Tnemec. The eye-catching three-part tank, designed by renowned muralist Eric Henn, was the product of a collaboration between Landmark Structures, Freese and Nichols, Gulf States Protective Coatings, and the City of Grand Prairie, which proudly owns the tank.
Imagery inspired by local Dallas-Fort Worth attractions are sprawled across the tank’s surface, depicting thrilling horse racing action at Lone Star Park, the tranquil beauty of Joe Pool Lake, and the lively atmosphere of Epic Central, an entertainment hub in the city. Strategically placed along Highway 161, the water tank functions as both a vital piece of infrastructure and a stunning work of art.
Tnemec’s Series 700 Hydroflon was applied to the tank, ensuring the vibrant mural remains as captivating as the day it was painted. Imbued with Lumiflon FEVE resin technology, FEVE-based coatings systems are provided with a plethora of benefits. With superior color and gloss retention, as well as anti-corrosive properties, HydroFlon coatings help preserve the structural integrity of the artwork for decades.
