Job
Description: The
inside of epoxy coated concrete tanks were sweep grit blasted,
followed by epoxy grouting of obvious cracks. POLYSHIELD SS-100®
was then applied at 60-80 MILS (1½-2MM) on tank floors
and walls.
The
tanks are used to contain lime solution. When converted to deionized
boiler water storage, the concrete floors and walls were prepared
and coated with a 12 mil epoxy system.
Leakage
was observed when the tanks were filled with water. Bechtel Corpora-tion
contacted Hydrodynamics for suggested remedial coating. Hydrodynamics
recommended POLYSHIELD SS-100® due to Polyshield's elastomeric
quality.
Follow-up
Inspection: October 1996, the owner was contacted regarding
performance of the tanks. SPI was informed that the POLYSHIELD
SS-100® is performing according to expectations.
