Project summary
We visited the Avenza site to observe and support the use of Valhall Gel in ongoing preservation and cleaning work. The goal was to better understand user practices, resolve technical questions, and provide guidance for more efficient results.
How we worked
The visit included a full HSE induction, site tour of the project, and a demonstration of how Valhall Gel was being applied. We discussed challenges related to aluminium and zinc surfaces and evaluated their equipment limitations.
Results
The team on site had a solid understanding of how to use the product and was highly satisfied—reporting a time-saving of about one month on cleaning and preservation. The job was successfully completed using 100 bar HP cleaning and large volumes of water, as higher pressures could damage structural elements.
What we used
- Valhall Gel
- HP washer (limited to ~100 bar)
- Technical support and guidance from NGP
- On-site demonstration and consultation
Reflections
Despite limitations in equipment pressure, the customer achieved strong results by compensating with increased water volume. We addressed technical concerns effectively and identified interest from the team in marine applications for Valhall Gel. A follow-up with case presentations was agreed upon.
