The application services division of
Belzona Technosol has successfully
stemmed a gas leak on a 24in cast
iron pipe at a steel works in Teesside.

The pipe was the gas main between
the coke ovens and the power plant
and required an immediate solution.

A leak was detected and a 25cm
long crack was found to be the cause.

Belzona 1121 (Super XL-Metal) was
selected to pack the gasket and to
create fillets on either side of the
flange. A three layer wrap repair was
then completed using Belzona 1121
and Belzona 9341 (Reinforcing
Tape), ensuring a long lasting repair.

Preparation, application and cure
were completed in two days. The gas
main was then reopened and tested
at full pressure to the satisfaction of
the client.
