Rope Access - Confined Space - Internal Silo Re-coating

We completed the internal recoating the top section of an exhaust silo....approx 10 mtres sq.
We have completed an NDT UT thickness inspection to the top of the stack that protrudes externally through the factory plant.......results werent good....thickness gauge in places was down to 2mm .... gauge at installation was 7mm...

Externally the stack was in good condition but the internal was heavily corroded.....grit blasting was not an option here ....light mechanical prep was all we could do ......and light prep.....meant light prep....we had to apply a specialist coating system that would do the job ......we approached our paint suppliers who were on the button on the coating system we should use........Owatrol CIP...a red primer base that needed minimal prep....this made a great key for the two coats of Centrecoat high slip black gloss.
