Challenge
On the coast of the Black Sea, there is often damage from coastal elements, where high chloride content is present and mechanical equipment is being used in the surrounding areas.
- Minimal surface preparation requirement to not risk damage to surrounding equipment.
- Soil stress present
- Little to no CP coverage above soil, need a lasting material
Solution
STOPAQ Wrappingband + Outerwrap + Outerglass Shield XT + a UV stable Topcoat was used to protect both the buried and aboveground section from corrosion, propagated from the coastal elements. Tough advanced mechanical protection from Outerglass Shield prevented damage from soil stress.
Surface preparation to St.2-St.3 with no shut-down, primers or curing time. Immediate application and immediate backfill.
