The ADDC at Delma Island faced enormous problems with the applied GRP coating for their potable water storage tanks in their new desalination facility. With climatic conditions varying from 10 to 50 degrees Celsius; the storage tanks developed cracks on the concrete after not even 1 year and the 30 Mio USD plant was stopped. The complete potable water supply of Delma Island was at risk. Therefore VIP Delta was contacted by the consultants due to their longtime experience in the field of water & waster water linings combined with the trouble shooting competences of the VIP Delta crew. Together with VIP´s technical team the consultants designed a recoating solution based on QuickSpray Supreme W, a WRAS and Dubai Municipality potable water approved lining with high elongation and crack bridging properties and a legendary track record. The time was running, but the team runs faster… The old coating was removed, the surface prepared and the VIP linings applied. Two days later tanks were washed down, tested and filled with water – application finished, down time finished, facility back in process. Even three month later zero reduction in water levels, no cracks , nothing but a completely satisfied client impressed by the speed of the application, convenience and system performance.
