Dura-Plate 301 addresses each of the three challenges of UHP. It has become a symbol of the safe adoption of UHP for high-durability projects since starting its expanded global use more than a decade ago.
UHP water jetting, offering reduced health and safety dangers compared to abrasive blasting – and potentially, reduced labour costs – is particularly relevant for the maintenance of offshore structures, refineries, storage tanks, marine vessels, ballast tanks and steel bridges. Te cost of downtime on maintenance has long been an issue in many offshore European locations, with shortened seasons for coating depending on how low temperatures have fallen in winter. Te Dura-Plate 301W offers a longer painting calendar, and with it, increased efficiencies and reduced overall project costs.
l Meets the design standard of the oil & gas, petrochemical, hydrocarbon and LPG/LNG industries: – Fully ANSI/ASME design – Includes NACE requirements
Fig.3. UHP water jetting has challenges that must be tackled before its many advantages can be reaped.
Te advantages for new-build projects speak volumes, with comparative savings against abrasive blasting including: reduced chamber operating costs; fewer weather constraints; a reduced environmental impact; and reduced labour costs. Approvals from all recognised international bodies have been granted for the suite of Dura-Plate 301 products, including Norsok, Navsea/US Navy and the IMO. Te range also has the world’s first IMO PSPC approval for UHP water jetting and a zinc-free shop primer. Full approvals are expected soon. l
