Belzona Facts
Welding was being considered but this would have taken several weeks to complete as it would have involved removing the edge plates, welding and re-machining. The Belzona application was completed in-situ and in a fraction the time the welding option would have taken. Twenty-eight kilograms of Belzona® 1311 were used in the application.
