| Belzona Bridges The Gap | | | Industry:Water / Wastewater (WATR) | | | Application:Valves, Pipes and Fittings (VPF) | | | Customer Location:Wastewater treatment plant - United Kingdom | | | Application Date:February 1999 | | | Application Situation:A new pipe work section required connecting to existing pipe work. | | | Problem:Having to connect new, industrial polypropylene pipe to the old iron pipe which is severely pitted, making it impossible to obtain a water tight seal for the joint sealing ring. | | | Products:Belzona® 1111 (Super Metal) | | | Substrate:Iron | | | Application Method:The application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflets VPF-1 and VPF-10. | | | Belzona Facts:Due to restricted and muddy working conditions it was not possible to allow machinery to be used for this repair, therefore a hand-held angle grinder was used to prepare the surface. The Belzona® 1111 (Super Metal) made a smooth collar around the pipe thus providing a watertight seal. | | | Photographs Description
