Methane Gas Protection

Job Description: Line interior of leachate collection box with POLY-SHIELD SS-100® for protection from deterioration caused by methane gas. Installing contractor applied concrete primer but due to a high water table and the temperatures required for the primer, it was necessary to heat the concrete. There was also water in the bottom of the leachate collection boxes. Due to the temperature application requirements and to remove and dry out the substrate, a primer was needed to heat the concrete substrate.

Follow-up Inspection: The site was revisited in March 1998. Rust Engin-eering was very satisfied with the per-formance of the coating. There was no deterioration noted in the POLY-SHIELD SS-100® coating.
