RESTORATION OF ANTI-CORROSION COATINGS
VERTICAL GROUP LTD performs professional restoration of anti-corrosion coatings on metal structures, industrial facilities, chimneys, pipelines, towers and antennas, regardless of the height and inaccessibility of the site.
Our teams work using the rope access method (alpine method), which allows for safe, precise and efficient implementation of projects on any sites in industry, infrastructure and construction. Combining modern technologies for cleaning, priming and painting, we guarantee long-term protection of metal surfaces, reliability of structures and extension of their service life.
The use of rope access allows for economical implementation without the need for scaffolding, platforms, cranes or heavy machinery, optimizing the time and costs of the project, without compromising on safety and quality.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our teams of rope access technicians perform the full range of construction and repair services related to the restoration of anti-corrosion coatings, including:
CLEANING OF METAL STRUCTURES
The restoration of the anti-corrosion coating on metal surfaces begins with cleaning the base and removing rust, old paint and other contaminants from the metal. The techniques we use are:
- Sandblasting to various degrees of metallic shine;
- Shot blasting – used for heavily corroded areas;
- Water blasting under pressure above 1200 bar – an environmentally friendly method without damaging the material;
- Mechanical cleaning – with metal brushes for slightly corroded surfaces;
- Chemical cleaning – when mechanical methods are unsuitable.
PRIMING AND PAINTING
After cleaning the base, it is primed and painted, and depending on the material used, the thickness of the layers is according to the manufacturer’s requirements. The application of the primer and the finishing layer is carried out mechanized with airless painting machines or manually with rollers and brushes when the metal elements are small or are located in hard-to-reach areas. In our work, we use high-quality anti-corrosion paints, resistant to weathering, chemicals and mechanical damage.
ADVANTAGES AND APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY
The use of rope access allows for safe, effective and economical restoration of anti-corrosion coatings on metal structures, regardless of height and accessibility. The main advantages of the alpine method are:
- Accessibility – teams reach all areas of the structures, including high, sloping and hard-to-reach areas inaccessible to scaffolding or platforms.
- Speed – eliminates the need for scaffolding and cranes, which speeds up project implementation and shortens completion times.
- Cost-effectiveness – eliminates the costs of heavy equipment and logistics, optimizes resources and provides a cost-effective solution for industrial sites.
- Safety – all activities are carried out by certified specialists with professional rope access equipment, which minimizes the risk to personnel and facilities.
The technology is applicable to a wide range of industrial and infrastructure sites: metal structures, bridges, towers, antennas, silos, tanks, pipelines and machinery, ensuring long-term protection against corrosion and reliable operation.
