Application Situation
The open drain is a general run-off for rain water on-site.
Application Method
The application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflet TCC-15. The drain was pressure washed to remove any dirt & contaminants and allowed to dry. A fillet of Belzona® 4131 was formed along the base/wall interface followed by two coats of Belzona® 5811.
Belzona Facts
Belzona were approached to assist with this application after the company received a direct instruction from a government agency to stop the leakage as the plant was next to a river & they considered an environmental problem possible.
