Project Description – Repair leaks in exterior of Grain Silo at a Correctional Facility
Application - Repair and seal holes and lap joints in the sheet metal on the exterior of the grain silo.
Industry - Government – Corrections Facility
Contractor – CMS Technical Consultant in conjunction with facility inmates
Problem - The seam where two layers of sheet metal that overlapped, had a gap that was allowing water to permeate the Grain Silo. The permeating moisture was causing rust spots and premature failure of the outer layer. This is a common problem for this Corrections facility and is a simple, cost effective and quick solution to an ongoing problem.
Solution - Cleaned and prepared surface using coarse sand paper. Removed dust, dirt and debris. Mixed and applied Belzona 1212 to fill the gapped areas the seams with overlap on both sides.
Product Applied - Belzona 1212
