During a further application of the same system to an adjacent pipebridge this year (2016), Winn & Coales (Denso) Ltd took the opportunity to inspect the system which was applied previously.
The company reports that apart from some dirt and moss on the pipe, as expected the system is still functioning extremely well and will continue to protect the structure for many years to come.
Prior to the latest application of the Steelcoat system to the adjacent pipebridge the residue of the previous coating was removed by hand surface preparation carried out to St2 standard.
The Denso Steelcoat system consists of application of Hi-Tack Primer followed by Denso Profiling Mastic on required surface areas. This is followed by Hi-Tack Tape, Ultraseal Tape and a Denso Acrylic top coat.
