Application Situation
Restoring an old irrigation pipline within a pumping station.
Application Method
This applciation was carried out in accordance with system leaflet TCC-05. The internal walls of the pipeline were sandblasted and then any pitted areas were filled in with Belzona 1121. A Belzona SW2 system was then fabriacted to create a "pipe within a pipe" to restore the existing pipeline. Finally 2 coats of Belzona 5821 was applied over the SW2 system to provide corrosion and erosion resistance.
Belzona Facts
The Belzona solution avoided a costly and complex replacement of the system and allowed the pipeline to be put back in service within a few days. Now the plant will be able to cater to the needs of the farmers and avoid lentgthy downtime in the future.
