Danish Corrosion Control

Sandwashing spot repair:
D*C*C* typically place a repair crew of 2 to X amount of people on board the vessel, along with a full complement of sandwashing equipment and HP high pressure washing machines, power tools, dehumidifiers, air-less paint pump and all personal safety protection and equipment necessary to complete the project in a safe and timely manner.



Why sandwash on Voyage?

• Consistently good quality result and good paint adhesion as surface embedded chlorides are removed along with all corrosion
  

• Overlap zones into existing coating is abraded by means of the “quarts sand”
  

• The use of quarts sand (non metallic grit) means ballast system will stay unharmed
  

• Cost per m2 is significantly less than if done at a shipyard or by means of UHP blasting
  

• No shipyard/dock or port costs
  

• No offhire costs as all the work is done while the ship is trading regularly and make earnings.
  

Sandwashing & Recoating – How?

• Corroded and blistered areas removed and surface cleaned to chloride free bare steel
  

• Additional roughness applied to areas without excisting roughness
  

• Overlap zones abraded, creates a perfect key for the new coating
  

• HP wash all affected areas
  

• Areas dried out using industrial size dehumidifiers
  

• New coating applied according to the standards supplied by the paintsupplier
  

• The DCC crew and equipment is mobilized in a port convenient to the ships schedule
  

• A crew typically consists of 2 to 8 people working 3-4 months on/off schedule
  

• The crew are all experienced in sandwashing, hydroblasting and paint application
  

• Project duration is normally 6 to 20 months
  

• Weekly progress reports
  

• Daily logs regards to paint application
