Pipework penetrations through walls and floors can be very challenging to prevent water engrossment. Cooling tower plumbing, pipelines from refrigeration holding tanks, chillers, or compressors must be sealed correctly. All of this equipment causes additional challenges for sealing any pipework penetrations, as excessive vibration and movement from the cooling tower fans and pumps and attack from chemicals that are used for water treatment.
Membrane coating system for concrete, steel and cool store panels
Cooling towers and refrigeration systems can leak – splash and spray chemicals over building roofs, plantroom floors and concrete pad. These chemicals attack concrete causing pitting and steel causing corrosion.
Damaged concrete can allow water and chemical leaks into adjoining rooms or building levels.
Corroded steel roofs allow water and chemical leaks into building.
Water treatment chemicals are sometimes contained in bunded areas that can be damaged by the corrosive chemicals. The application of RepelCoat PUME-200 stops further damage and water / chemical leaks.
