Title, Order
Authorizing the Purchase and Installation of a Geopolymer Lining from Vortex in the Amount of $150,000 for
Repairs to the Deicing Fluid Tanks at Bangor International Airport (BGR)
This Order will authorize City of Bangor to purchase and install a geopolymer lining from Vortex for
$150,000 for necessary repairs to the deicing fluid tanks at Bangor International Airport. Vortex
manufactures and installs a geopolymer lining, which has been proven to work effectively to cease
tanks leaks and provides over 10 years of protection. After each winter season, the airport performs
necessary maintenance and repairs on deicing equipment. Unfortunately, the underground deicing
fluid tanks are experiencing significant water infiltration. The Vortex product is highly recommended
and is proven in similar applications. The airport will also experience significant cost savings from
reduced stormwater fees.
This Order supports the City goal to Improve and Develop Safe and Accessible Multi-Modal
Transportation Systems.
