Project Details

The project involved a collaborative effort among Banner's various departments, the City of Volga, and the South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (SD DANR). Banner and the City worked with the SD DANR to secure funding for the project through the State SRF Drinking Water program. Banner's Water Department and Environmental Department worked together on the report to meet the requirements of the SRF funding.

During surveying, the civil, structural, and water departments collaborated to design the 750,000-gallon water tower for the City of Volga. The structural group not only assisted with the structural design but also with the high-performance coating system required on the water tower to protect the metal from corrosion and maintain the tower's design life. This continued through the construction portion of the project, as Banner provided on-site RPR services, including NACE staff, during the coating application.

A unique aspect of the project was a logo design contest held by the City to select the logo for the tank. The winning submission can now be seen on the tank.

  • Facility Planning/Engineering Reports
  • Water System Design
