Marine Piling
Port Facilities, wharfs and assets within 1Km of the coast.
Sheet piling driven over 20 years ago was designed to be sacrificial and was not protected. Replacing this is now an expensive process with areas under vessel loading wharfs even harder to maintain.
- As a rescue coating, Goldseal can be applied directly to the 20mm thick rust on sheet piles. If the sheet piling already has holes in it Goldseal can be trowelled into these cavities as a filler before overcoating the whole area by airless spray.
- As Programmed Maintenance, Goldseal can be applied to a clean air chiselled sheet pile (when all the rust scale has been removed) without sandblasting. It is very effective at filling the gap between the concrete wharf deck and the sheet pile top or filling vertical gaps in the sheet pile overlap where sea water often has free access.
- Clean and coat by section, completing the coating of that section in one work shift.
Steel Pile Interiors
Goldseal can be applied by 360 degree nozzle to new steel piles that have yet to be driven or to existing pile interiors exhibiting internal salt and condensation oxidation.
- The internals should be washed and large nodes removed if practical, to help lay down a coherent coating.
- The Goldseal is sprayed at over 70 degrees Celsius. It flows into cracks and, self levels, penetrates and capillaries into spray shadow areas.
- The pile cap can then be re-fitted.
