About the Project:

The Facility:

We painted: The pipes outside of the Division of Water Reclamation for the City of Dayton

Condition:

The pipes were rusty and located in a secured area. These pipes are in the open air on the exterior of the building leaving them exposed to the elements.

Project Involvement:

We needed to prep the pipes, and provide lasting protection against the Ohio climate. We were able to accomplish this by utilizing a three step system that involved rust inherited primers and and epoxy top coat.

Special Challenges:

This area is secured and not accessible to the public. We also had to have a three day window to allow all of the products to properly cure before implementing additional coating.
