CASE STUDY

Efficient Conveyor Corrosion Control

A customer had planned a full belt refurbishment, including rollers, belts, drives, and counterweights, during a scheduled outage. However, due to delayed supplies, they identified an opportunity to address corrosion concerns by sandblasting and painting the conveyor structure. Our Field Coatings team was entrusted with this critical task and had a mere seven days to complete the extensive 120 feet of conveyor and catwalk.

Approach and Solution

Bull Pot Blasting Setup: To meet the demanding production requirements, we leveraged a Bull Pot Blasting setup, enabling the operation of four blast lines simultaneously. This setup significantly increased the output of blast media, allowing for swift and efficient sandblasting.

Two-Shift Turnaround: To fully optimize their equipment, we implemented a two-shift work schedule while ensuring strict safety protocols. The Nix team only interrupted operations for..

Project Highlights

Acid Pit Dike Coating

Our field coatings team recently completed a critical repair project of an acid pit dike. The area around the drain had been experiencing issues with

Drilling Components

Our customer faces routine damage to their drilling components, including drill augers, drill stems, and centralizers, due to normal operational wear and tear. These issues

Beginning with surface preparation, we shotblasted the concrete to a Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) of 4-6, providing an optimal foundation for the coatings. Following this,
