Durability and longevity are key in protecting steel structures within the tidal and splash zone of the Hauraki Gulf.

Metspray was commissioned to apply the thermal zinc/aluminium alloy metal spray and glass-filled epoxy coating system in factory. Handling structural steel frames of 5 tonne, 6m x 10m posed its own challenges for ensuring a seamless coating film.

Metspray undertook onsite repair work (due to transport and erection damage) direct with Downer Construction to ensure the coating met integrity and warranty requirements.

During repair work, Metspray addressed challenges that included the proximity of tidal salt water and adhering to strict environmental requirements to ensure no contamination of the surrounding area.
