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

The 35 year old spiral casing required to be completely refurbished without any disruption to all other contractors working in this very busy area. It also had to be carried out in a very tight timescale and in cold and very damp conditions during the stations shutdown.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

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

Working within a very tight timescale, severe pitting and corrosion, extremely high humidity, confined space, water ingress and other contractors working adjacent to the spiral refurbishment added to the difficulty of the project.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

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

First coat of Epo-chem\u2122 RA 564 solvent-free glassflake epoxy @ 250\u00b5 by airless spray and brush. All severe areas of pitting were filled with Ceram-chem\u2122 RH 500 solvent-free, high density epoxy putty. Second coat of Ceram-chem\u2122 RP 500 solvent-free, ceramic epoxy system @ 200\u00b5 by airless spray and brush.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

The major technical benefits offered by utilising this complete system assured the client that the work was carried out on time, within budget, with no major delays to the program and no impact on other contractors working in close proximity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
