The Industry
The Challenge:
The Solution:
•The caissons were first grit blasted internally and externally to ISO 8501-1 cleanliness standard SA 2 ½ in accordance with Corrocoat’s standard procedures.
•The internal surfaces were lined with Polyglass VEF at 1,500 microns followed by a coat of Biofoul at 350 microns. This high performance composite lining combination offers high resistance to aggressive service conditions and a design life in seawater of over 25 years.
•The external surfaces were also protected with Polyglass VEF at 1500 microns. In both the internal and externalcases, after grit blasting the field joint area were masked off and left uncoated to prevent heat damage to the lining during welding.
Due to the extensive worldwide coverage offered by Corrocoat, after delivery Corrocoat’s South African operation were able to mobilize to site to fully protect the internal and external field joints after welding.
