TMI Coatings, Inc. (TMI) recently restored and replaced linings in eight rooftop cooling tower basins on two separate buildings. Cooling tower basins are constantly subjected to chemicals – which can cause corrosion to the metal pan and possible growth of fungus. TMI restored these basins by recommending and installing a new coating system that provides corrosion protection increasing the longevity of these structures.
Procedure:
- Removed the existing failed lining in each basin.
- Sandblasted all surfaces to create an anchor pattern for proper adhesion.
- Applied a primer coat to create a strong bond between the substrate and the subsequent coatings.
- Applied two coats of a urethane elastomer coating which is durable, flexible, and doesn’t promote mold or mildew growth.
Outcome:
TMI recommended the elastomeric tank lining system because it creates a water and chemical resistant barrier. Its seamless finish will extend the life of the basin. This waterproof coating also provides excellent protection against corrosion and abrasions. The two-coat system, combined with a primer coat, bonds tenaciously to concrete and steel substrates – making it a perfect system for cooling tower basins.
