Denso Covercoat protects Transo Pipebridges
Denso Covercoat protects Transo Pipebridges
Transco has chosen Winn & Coales Denso Covercoat System for protection of two gas mains on bridges in a maintenance and renovation programane.
One bridge is at Brigg, South Humberside, where a 15 inch diameter gas main is carried over the River Ancholme. The other is near Doncaster, carrying an 8 inch main over the River Don. Both lengths of exposed main are approximately 50 metres in length.
Following mechanical wire brushing to remove corrosion and old coating materials the Transco workforce treated the pipes with the petrolatum based Denso Covercoat system.
The structural steel of one of the bridges was also given the Covercoat treatment. The other bridge structure was given coat of Protal 59/AC rust tolerant primer.
The protective systems were all finished off with two coats of green Protal 5051 solvent-free epoxy topcoat.
