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.

Control Humidity and Temperature

The ability to keep a construction project on schedule is detrimental to its ability to provide profit to both the contractor and the owner of the building. Temperature issues at the project site can be chief contributors to delays in the schedule completion and to potential damage to materials at the site. The need to provide a comfortable environment for workers is also necessary in areas where temperatures can reach well below freezing.
