The challenge
Steel chimneys corrode from both sides: flue gases inside and weather outside. Without a sound coating, the shell loses thickness and its service life shortens quickly.
The coating had to be renewed on the full height of the chimney, safely and with minimal disruption to the plant.
Scope of works
- Height access to the full chimney shell
- Removal of corrosion and loose coating, surface preparation
- Application of an anti-corrosion coating system
- Coating thickness checks and handover
Outcome
The steel chimney is protected again against corrosion. We also manufacture and install steel and COR-TEN chimneys; see our smokestack and flue services and our ultrasonic thickness inspections for steel shells.
