Drying a Ultra High Pressure Water Jet Project at Netune Terminals Vancouver Harbour

Neptune Bulk Terminals in Vancouver, British Columbia needed to re-coat two of its ocean-going Potash Ship Loader conveyors within a 27-day window to prevent interruption of international ship loading schedules. The contractor elected to use ultra high pressure water jetting (UHPWJ) for the steel surface preparation rather than the sand blast medium used on the previous loader conveyors. This required innovative desiccant dehumidification equipment to facilitate rapid drying of the steel upon completion of the UHPWJ work due to an increased moisture load.

This required innovative desiccant dehumidification equipment to facilitate rapid drying of the steel upon completion of the UHPWJ work due to an increased moisture load. Use of climate control equipment assured that critical SSPC surface preparation standards were met and also eliminated any delays due to introduced moisture issues, or weather. The project was completed within the project window and met or exceeded all project timelines.
