Colorful Tanks, BIG Tanks, and a Nearly Completed Office

WILLIAMS

The 500,000 gallon tanks in their completed form. Green was chosen for a couple reasons. Number 1: The dark color will attract the sun light in the winter, heating the air space between the inner and outer tank walls, making it easier to store certain products through the winter. Number 2: It's a great representation of our company. Green (environmentally friendly) products used to grow green (color) products.

GOODLAND

Heartland Tank is moving along on the 2 million gallon tank in Goodland. In this photo they are finishing the welds on the fourth ring. This photo was taken a couple weeks ago. At this time the roof is nearly complete and the tank is almost ready to have the interior coating applied.  When the crew is finished here, they will move to Williams to construct another tank of the same size.

 ST. JOHNS - CORPORATE OFFICE

So close to completion. The flags have been raised and the contractors are working on the final touches as the September 14th public open house draws near.

Just last night they painted the parking lot stripes for those of us who have a difficult time gauging the correct parking space size.

And this is looking in the direction of where the old building stood at one time. Now that it's gone the excavation for site drainage and parking lots can be finished.

 This is a view from the Dewitt Road entrance looking at the east side of the IQ Hub.

 

The landscaping is coming along nicely. The lawn has been seeded and the irrigation system is getting installed. In the background you'll notice the storage building.

 

Here you see the west side of the storage building and the current lay down area for equipment, materials, and dumpsters. Eventually, this will be more parking lot.

  

Up ahead is one of the wood bridges that spans over the rock basin on the walk path. This will be used on those days when employees need to get away from their desk for a minute or two.

Wow! I'm beginning to think i-phone photography might be my thing. What a shot from the north looking south east at the front of the building. I'll admit, the beautiful morning helps a little. Next time maybe I'll use a real camera and see what I'm really capable of.
