Built in 1791, Airthrey Castle is a historic building and estate which now forms part of the buildings and grounds of the University of Stirling in central Scotland. When the property suffered water damage, it was essential that an expert restoration solution was executed in order to protect the contents and materials inside.
When Bilfinger Salamis, a market-leading service provider for the energy generation industry, was commissioned to blast and paint the Britannia platform in the North Sea, its project managers knew that one important condition of the contract would be the provision of ATEX-certified dehumidification equipment. In December 2012, there was only one provider in the UK capable of delivering such equipment – Polygon.
At a construction site, there was a concern about the moisture level within the anhydrite screed. These types of screed have become a popular alternative to the sand and cement options; however, a potential issue is that they can have a weak surface layer. This means that the drying process can be slower. The contractor must therefore ensure that the screed has been dried to the optimal level before any floor finish such as vinyl, tiles, carpets or wood panelling can be laid. To do this, an accurate moisture assessment is required from a specialist humidity expert.
The water tanks cubic capacity is an area of 140 cubic metres which must be refurbished and waterproofed, but we have to find a solution to supply the process and heated air to achieve the right conditions and to do this the process equipment has to be sited at height 150ft above ground level, maintaining the correct temperature and relative humidity levels is most definitely challenging.
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.
