Problem: The client had used weld overlay in the past to build up the worn dredge pumps once they hit their limit. This was a slow, expensive, and inconvenient process due to having to ship them to FL to have the exotic metal welded.

Belzona 1814 applied to all wear areas of the pump
Application Situation
Belzona was a cheaper and faster alternative to the weld overlay of the exotic Ni-Hard metal overlay. Taking 3 days to complete vs 2 weeks. This allowed the client to stop from shipping the pump across the country and also get it back in service in 1/4 of the timeApplication Method

"Priming" coat of 1331 was applied to help with increasing shear adhesion of the 1814
