Ashburton Underground Drinking Water Storage Tanks

This project involved two large 434 feet (133.3meter) diameter below grade concrete tanks designed to store up to 50 million gallons (189 million liters) of drinking water for the city of Baltimore, Maryland.  These two tanks were part of a broader initiative that included work at Druid Hill Reservoir, Montebello Water Filtration Plant, and Gilford Reservoir.  The scope of work included Hallaton Environmental Lining installing prefabricated 40 mil (1.0 mm) PVC liners to the top of each concrete tank to ensure they are sealed and waterproof.
