Industrial Coatings & Linings
Project Data
| Location | Abu Dhabi - UAE |
| Client | Gulf Cooperation Council |
| Products | SeaShield Rigspray™ |
| Date | 2016 |
The Barakah Nuclear Power Plant being constructed in Abu Dhabi UAE, is part of the Gulf Cooperation Council’s (GCC) ambitious nuclear power program due to be completed by 2020. The new power plant owners required a coating to line the sea water intake pipe. The consultant in charge wanted a coating which exhibits excellent abrasion and erosion resistance, good permeation resistance, undercutting resistance and that performed well in marine applications.
After discussions with local Denso agent Bin Moosa & Daly and also viewing numerous successful case histories showing similar applications, SeaShield Rigspray™ was chosen for the project.
Normally used on steel oil rig legs and riser pipes etc, as an outer coating, SeaShield Rigspray is well suited to give long-term protection to steel in marine environments.
After the pipes are lined with SeaShield Rigspray™, the lining is tested for holidays.
