Project Details:

• Refurbishment of slopes, floors and curbs in various areas throughout the plant where new stainless steel sumps were being installed.
• Autoclave Area - repaired with High Temperature Membrane No. 89 and 2-4 inches of Acidproof Concrete No. 54SG anchored with wire mesh due severe slopes. This area will see elevated temperatures of potentially 300°F.
• The balance of the remaining areas around the sumps were repaired with Epoxy Polymer Concrete No. 265 at 2-4 inches top coated with 8-12 mils of No. 228 for ease in clean-up after spillage.
