OVERVIEW<\/b><\/span><\/p><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The swimming pools on-board the cruise vessel had to be refurbished as the existing tile system required regular maintenance and this was causing major problems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

CHALLENGE<\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Firstly, the existing tiles and concrete backing had to be removed to expose the steel.<\/p>\n

Secondly, an alternative surface preparation method to grit blasting had to be utilised, as grit blasting would aid excessive dust contamination to the surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

The client was looking for a system offering a long-term solution which did not require regular maintenance. Working within a strict time-frame also added to the difficulty of this project.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

SOLUTION<\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Both mechanical preparation and water jetting were utilised as the surface preparation methods, to St2 and WJ-3 standards respectively. Chemco\u2019s solvent-free, wet & rust tolerant<\/strong> primer Epo-chem\u2122 RS 500P<\/strong> was applied followed by two coats of solvent-free, wet tolerant Epo-chem\u2122 RA 500M.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

OUTCOME<\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The project was completed within 20 days, much quicker than the given time-frame.<\/p>\n

The quality of the smooth, high gloss finish and the speed of the contract were to the satisfaction of all concerned. The surface preparation method utilised and the unique solvent-free properties of the Chemco system also allowed other work to continue nearby without disruption.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
