TMI Coatings was contracted to fiberglass walls, partitions and paint the ceiling in a sanitation room. TMI fiberglassed 14’ up the walls and applied epoxy coating material to the ceiling and remainder of the approximately 20’ high walls. The customer wanted fiberglass with mat reinforcement applied directly to the concrete to reduce the risk of water seeping behind sheet fiberglass panels causing mold and mildew.
During one of the final walk-throughs with the contact, he stated that TMI’s workmanship was excellent and was very happy the way the coating system was applied. He also said it brightened up the room and helped improve light reflectivity.

A mechanical company hired TMI Coatings to line the interior of a condensate tank at a private college in the Twin Cities. This was a critical shut down requiring work be completed in the shortest amount of time. Because the condensate tank was a part of the heating system at the college dormitories and many college students were going to be away over the Easter holiday, the client felt it was a good time to complete the tank lining.
Friday morning, TMI began sandblasting the interior of the tank. TMI completed sandblasting on Saturday, removed abrasive/blew down the tank and tested the profile. Sunday morning, TMI applied putty to the pitted areas to restore deep pits prior to applying the second coat to the interior of the tank and force curing. TMI completed the project by noon on Sunday which gave the owner plenty of time to do any maintenance that had to be done prior to start up Monday morning. Joe Pallansch, the site contact, commented that TMI’s supervisor was very professional, courteous and he was also happy with TMI’s workmanship, clean up and completing work within the timeline.
