Client Background

Facility Description

Requested Maintenance

The focus of the project centered on the interior preparation and painting of one of their key industrial tanks. This required meticulous planning and execution to address the challenges presented by confined spaces and the need for durable, high-quality finishes.

Decision Driver and Timing

Durability and preservation of the metal within the tank were the driving factors behind this project. As a company that prioritizes the safety and quality of their food products, the client recognized the importance of maintaining their equipment to the highest standards. The need for this maintenance arose from routine inspections, emphasizing the necessity for immediate attention to prevent potential issues affecting production and safety.

Scope of Work

  • Initial power wash using a 6,000 PSI power washer to thoroughly clean the tank's interior
  • Removal of heavy flaking rust through a combination of hand and power tool techniques
  • Application of prime coat using Sherwin Williams 646 Macro-Poxy or PPG Amerlock Epoxy, chosen for their durability and suitability for food processing environments
  • Application of a finish coat with a similarly high build for maximum protection
  • Comprehensive clean-up of the work area post-completion to ensure the facility's cleanliness and safety

Notable Details

Given the project's classification as a confined space endeavor, specialized protocols and safety measures were meticulously followed to ensure the well-being of the workers involved. This included the deployment of trained professionals equipped with the necessary safety gear and expertise in confined space operations.

The use of a high build DTR epoxy mastic for both the prime and finish coats underscores the commitment to using high-quality materials that provide durable and long-lasting protection against corrosion and other potential damages. This choice reflects an understanding of the demanding conditions within food processing tanks and the need for robust solutions.

Upon completion, the emphasis on a thorough clean-up process ensured that the tank was immediately ready for use, minimizing downtime and preserving the cleanliness standards required in a food processing environment.
