Kavya,

The cost of the material is included so do not add the $1.20. the installation includes the surface p reparation, the labor to install a two or three coat epoxy lining system. The cost would include a ll labor and material. The system is as follows:

1) Steel Tank Lining System Surface preparation: SSPC-SP5 White metal Blast Cl eaning

Primer: Series 61-5002 Tneme-Liner Beige primer ap plied at 8.0 -10.0 dry mils

Finish: Series 61-5001 Tneme-Liner Gray Finish app lied at 8.0 - 10.0 dry mils I hope this helps!

Hi Dan,

Thank you very much for your help! To clarify, woul d the cost per square foot be the sum of two costs below, i.e., $8+$1.20? Or does the installation cost already include the $1.20? Also, could you briefly summarize the installation proces s? Does liner installation happen once the tanks are already installed?

Thanks again for all of your help. Have a great Ind ependence Day weekend!

The total installed cost for the liner for the inte rior of the tanks and vessels would range from $8.0 0 - $10.00 a square foot. This is a total installed cost including the coating. The material will vary depending on the system we decide to use . I believe our Series 61 Tneme-Liner is the system we will use and it cost $1.20 per sq.ft. Please let me know how I can be of any help!

Hi Dan,

I hadn't heard back from you or Vaughn so I wanted to check in. Do you think you can still provide us cost information on coatings this week? We're now most interested in the coating cost for t anks, particularly on a cost per gallon or square f oot basis, if that helps narrow our request at all. We're on a tight deadline and it would help us greatly to get any basic budgetary information as soon as possible.

Thanks and have a great Independence Day weekend, KavyaKavya P. Kasturi, Environmental Engineer
