Project summary
NGP was contracted to carry out a full Base Coating procedure on a new box cooler unit for Weka Marine. The job was executed on-site at a facility in Tallinn and included preparation, blasting, coating, and final cleaning.
How we worked
Upon arrival, the cooler was pre-positioned at the workshop. We sandblasted the unit using garnet grit 30/60 to ensure optimal surface roughness. The cooler was then washed to remove blasting residue before the coating process began.
Results
The box cooler received two coats of Säkatonit Extra AR-F Red, ensuring corrosion protection. After curing, we laid the cooler flat and cleaned the tubesheet while flushing each individual pipe with air.
What we used
- Garnet grit 30/60
- Säkatonit Extra AR-F Red (2 coats)
- Air flushing tools
- Manual grinding and cleaning equipment
Reflections
The project was completed efficiently in close collaboration with the local agent. The cooler is now fully protected and ready for installation. A smooth, well-executed job from start to finish.
