Overview The exposed steel piles underneath a jetty required a corrosion protection system which would provide long term preservation of the piles and their performance as part of the overall jetty structure. Challenge Due to environmental concerns, and proximity of the jetty to the sea, grit blasting was not permissible. The new coating system had to ensure long term corrosion protection without the need for significant ongoing maintenance. The project had to be completed in a time & cost efficient manner, whilst exposed to variable weather conditions. Solution The surfaces were prepared using a combination of mechanical preparation and high-pressure water jetting to 500 bar. The following coatings were then applied: Above Waterline: • RS 500P (Primer
