Case Study: Twelve Quays Ferry Terminal

POWERTHERM CS CONTRACT SERVICES LTD www.powertherm.co.uk Case Study: Twelve Quays Ferry Terminal Here we take a look at one of our successful case studies involving the Twelve Quays Ferry Terminal. PROJECT OUTCOME PROJECT High-quality execution of industrial and specialist coatings, surface preparation and associated access services. All coatings passed inspections of a minimum 15-year lifespan before first maintenance. Also, access services were implemented safely. OUTCOME PROJECT RATIONALE The existing linkspan and pontoon structure needed upgrading due to new multi-level berthing requirements of the port, to accommodate Stena Line's larger vessels. PROJECT DETAILS Contract Type: Industry: Marine and CONTRACT Maintenance offshore Services: Timescale: 6 months Surface preparation, industrial coatings and access solutions Workforce: Up to 15 individuals including scaffolders, painting operatives, coatings inspectors and project management SCOPE OF SERVICES Industrial and Access Solutions Specialist Coatings: (Scaffolding, MEWPS): The existing linkspan to the pontoon was mechanically prepared using grinders, ral technical scaffolds were constructed on-site, including tube and fitting, and independent structures, to allow safe access for our wire brushes and needle guns to treat significantly corroded areas. The pontoon structure was subject to high pressure jetting at 35,000 PSI to strip the original weathered coating from its surface. The painting operatives. Our operatives also used mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPS) for access to the linkspan as the port was to remain operational. external surface of the pontoon was primed and coated to give the structure prolonged protection from the River Mersey. The Therefore a fix scaffolding structure was not suitable as it would obstruct traffic flow. ballast tanks within the internal area of the pontoon were grit blasted to treat blistered and weathered The MEWPS were also used to gain access to the external structure of the pontoon over the Mersey. spots, then primed and painted. All new coatings have been applied to the correct depth and quality of finish to achieve a minimum 15-year lifespan before first maintenance.
