| Project: | Relining of Wet Well |
Ferro Monk were awarded the contract to recoat the wet well at Edith Weston, which was suffering severe hydrogen sulphide attack.
Wet chambers and surfaces are traditionally difficult to deal with, but Ferro Monk were able to accomplish this challenging project thanks to their use of Ultracoat, a sprayed epoxy resin system, with excellent characteristics for use in damp environments.
Following initial rigorous cleaning and preparation of the wet well, the two part 100% solid structured epoxy resin was applied using patented equipment onto the still damp surface and the work progressed.
Once spraying was completed, the asset was quickly brought back into operation.
Developed and well-proven in the USA by Warren Environmental and more recently in partnership with Fernco Environmental, Ferro Monk is delighted to be the first approved partner in the UK offering a strong track record and excellent technical capabilities in the drainage repair industry.
Key benefits of Ultracoat
Sprayable onto damp substrates: reacts and bonds well to damp surfaces.
Speed: assets can be brought into use in around two hours from application.
Chemical resistance: tolerant to high levels of sulphur dioxide, acids and Alkalis.
High bond strength on many backgrounds including concrete, steel, brick, fibreglass and asbestos.
Improves structural integrity: strengthens corroded / weakened structures such as tanks, chambers, manholes and culverts.
Environmentally friendly: 100% epoxy with no volatile organic compounds.
High safety values: can be applied in confined spaces, no combustion or hazardous material risks.
Resistant to algae and bacterial growth.
Exceptional versatility: sprayed insitu, it will take the shape of the substrate. Strong track record: in use for almost twenty years, with over 45,000 manhole chambers rehabilitated to date.
Admirable credentials: the only coating approved by the US Navy for potable water, fuel oil and sewerage applications.
