Industrial services company Pyeroy
has won a substantial new contract to
service and maintain the large
potroom floor at Rio Tinto Alcan’s
Lynemouth aluminium smelter on
the Northumberland coast.

The three year contract will see
Pyeroy’s contracting team undertaking
ongoing repairs to sections of
concrete flooring worn or damaged
by the movement of aluminium
ingots, which can weigh up to 10t.

The work will involve identifying
and replacing the damaged sections
with a new harder wearing concrete
and resin binder solution for added
strength and longer term impact
resistance.
