Enecon was called in to help when a cooling tower was leaking so badly due to corrosion that the facility had a garden hose feeding water into it constantly as it was lost. Once the tower was grit blasted to clean it out, all the holes previously blocked by muck could be seen and some were as large as nickels.
The solution was a two-step process. First, the holes were repaired with DurAlloy and mesh as needed. Second, two coats of CHEMCLAD SC was applied for future protection. Seven years later if you drive by the location you can see the same tower still in use. Only the now-taller trees near the tower have changed.
