Efficient Climate Control for Winter Tank Refurbishment

Due to tank dimensions equal to 22,911 m2 and the project running through the middle of winter, this was a large-scale project. Site location and terrain, although beautiful, were difficult to get to, and installation of our equipment on a reasonable lay-down area to ensure proper delivery of the processed and heated air to the tank presented its challenges. Our Technicians worked hard and managed to site the equipment in an accessible area and close enough to the target area for the processed air not to be affected by lengthy ducting distances.

Construction Company Solves Drying Issues with Polygon

A construction company building a new school in London was having issues drying screed and walls to the optimum level. Contractors must be certain that the walls and floors in any new construction have been dried properly; failure to do this could mean that, in time flooring may lift and mould could develop. Ultimately, this could require the contractor to revisit the job to do remedial work, costing them and the client time, money and loss of reputation.

Effective Ship Preservation

The shipping industry often requires ships be laid-up or mothballed while awaiting sale, repair or disposal. These massive vessels are impractical to anchor at the docks, so these ships are usually laid-up in open waters.

Blasting and coating oil tanks during winter months

Our customer had been contracted to prep the surfaces and to apply a coating liner system on the interior sections of two newly constructed giant crude oil storage tankers. Each tank was 225 feet in diameter and 62 feet high with a floating roof. The assignment was to abrasive blast the inside surfaces of the steel tanks, clean out the abrasive, prepare a clean, dry surface for coating and spray the coatings on the floors and walls to a height of two feet above the floors with an epoxy coating. The two-foot height for coating the walls was specified to protect the surface against water that accumulates in the tank and can rise to that level below the oil stored in the tanks.

Drying Wooden Floors

While textile floor coverings remain common in commercial spaces, more residential properties are now opting for traditional or panelled timber floors, which are also susceptible to moisture damage. Timber flooring comes in a variety of forms, from tongue-and-groove boards nailed to timber subfloors, to parquet blocks and laminated wood glued to concrete. Typically, the more expensive the timber flooring, the more moisture-resistant it is, improving the likelihood of successful restoration.
