Overview The roofs of two tanks were suffering from corrosion damage and required to be refurbished. The client mentioned that these roofs are normally repaired every 2-3 years and that they were looking for a system which could offer them long-term corrosion protection. Challenge The roofs had to be refurbished whilst the tanks were in operation; therefore grit blasting was not permissible. There would also be no encapsulation of the roofs due to large costs and setup times; therefore coatings could only be applied by brush/roller. Solution The roofs were prepared by water jetting. One primer coat of wet & rust tolerant epoxy Epo-chemTM RL 500PF was then applied, followed by one topcoat of highly chemical and UV resistant topcoat Epo-chemTM RC 500GTC.
