Problem: Pipelines of petrochemical storage tanks have been subject to vibration during loading and unloading. This problem is exacerbated by the increased frequency of loading and discharge, and the damage to the structure is also more serious. Therefore, an additional support frame is needed to solve this problem. However, due to safety restrictions, hot work is not allowed. In this case, the customer specifically chose Belzona's cold-bonded steel sheet as an additional support frame.
