Southwest Elevated Water Storage Tank Wins Gold Star Award

Congratulations to our client, the City of Minot, for earning the North Dakota Ready Mix & Concrete Products Association’s Gold Star award for the Governmental category. The Gold Star Awards recognizes architects, engineers, contractors, owners, and concrete producers for Excellence in Concrete for projects that demonstrate innovation, craftsmanship, aesthetics and more.

HEI’s extensive experience and knowledge of the Minot water distribution system along with our previous experience with storage tanks for the City enabled HEI to assist the City in the construction of a new 1.5-million-gallon composite elevated water storage tank.

About The Project

The City of Minot’s hydraulic master plan has referenced adding an additional water storage tank on the south side of town for many years before recent growth made it a necessary project. The system hydraulics and forecasted growth with increased usage dictated the size of the tank. The steel tank height and water level elevation had to match the existing Dakota Square Elevated Tank to enable unified operation of both structures on the South Hill pressure zone.
