Installer Spotlight: Midwest Infrastructure Coatings Delivers Big Results for a Small Town When the City of Wheatland, Missouri, needed to take action against severe inflow and infiltration (I&I) problems, they turned to Midwest Infrastructure Coatings—an OBIC-certified installer with a service territory spanning Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and northeast Texas—known for delivering high-quality work with precision and efficiency. Facing aging infrastructure and limited funds, Wheatland’s leaders sought a way to repair their wastewater system faster than their budget would normally allow. Thanks to federal ARPA funding, the city was able to move forward with an aggressive plan: rehabilitating nearly their entire manhole system in one coordinated effort. Over the course of four months in 2024, MIC lined 260 manholes—all but two in the entire city—and rehabilitated the main lift station, which measured six feet in diameter and extended 20 feet deep.

When concrete began deteriorating on its exterior walls, the dam's operators needed a solution that would endure and maintain the dam's operational integrity. In 2023, ART was called in to help address these issues on one half of the dam wall using OBIC products. After those successful repairs, ART returned in 2024 to complete the remaining sections on the other side of the wall. One section in need of repair was approximately 10' x 10' in size, one was approximately 4' x 15', and the
