Overview

In the challenging environment of a mine in Leinster, our focus was on safeguarding structural HV transformers from both fire and blast incidents. The installation of Promat’s DURASTEEL served as a robust shield against potential threats. Additionally, CAFCO FENDOLITE MII application to steel columns further fortified the protective measures.

Background

Protection Beyond Boundaries

The primary objective was to provide the client with a seamless installation process, ensuring minimal disruptions and reducing the risk of shutdowns in the event of a catastrophic incident. This necessitated a strategic approach that prioritized both safety and operational continuity.

Seamless Preclad Installation Collaboration

Collaborated closely with the client to facilitate a seamless preclad installation process. Once the preclad walls were in position, Fendolite application followed, ensuring compliance and a unified protective system for the entire structure.

Outcome

Collaborative Brilliance in Preclad Installation

Worked hand-in-hand with the client to ensure the preclad installation was seamless, minimizing disruptions. Once the preclad walls were in position, CAFCO FENDOLITE MII application to exposed steel columns provided an additional layer of compliance, creating a robust protective barrier against potential fire and blast events at Leinster Mine. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to innovate in safety solutions.
