Belzona Facts

The engine functions as a propulsion system for a ship. As the engine room is a confined space with limited access, removing and replacing the engine casing was not only expensive, but logistically difficult. Welding repairs are also undesirable due to risk of fire in the engine room. Belzona was selected to carry our a cold cured repair in-situ, overall reducing the cost, down time and safety risk of the repair.
