Denso Steelcoat™ Protects Footbridge Suspension
Winn & Coales Denso Steelcoat 100/400™ system was chosen by Hampshire Rigging Services of Romsey to protect the suspension of the footbridge at Thames Ditton Island, Surrey.
For this recently completed project, the Denso Steelcoat was applied to a steel wire rope which is fitted to the four tower tops from which the footbridge is suspended. The wire rope where the groove fits in is approximately 1 metre in length and 44mm diameter.
Particular attention was given to the application of Denso Steelcoat on the four tower tops and the anchorage bars, which had previously suffered from some corrosion.
Following surface preparation, the Denso Steelcoat system applied by Hampshire Rigging Services consisted of Hi-Tack Primer™ followed by Denso Profiling Mastic™ for filling awkward profiles. This was then followed by Hi-Tack Tape™, Ultraseal Tape™ and a Denso Acrylic Topcoat™.

SeaShield™ Protection at Falmouth Fuel Piers
World Fuel Services Europe Ltd has recently installed Winn & Coales (Denso) Ltd’s SeaShield ™ systems to protect both of their fuel piers, which are also part of the Eastern Breakwater project at Falmouth. Sixteen support pipes on the old pier have been protected with SeaShield 100™ and nine SeaShield 2000FD™ jackets have been applied on the new pier. The materials were applied on both piers using rope access.
SeaShield systems provide long-term corrosion control for steel, concrete and timber structures in the splash and intertidal zones. They accommodate piles (such as at Falmouth) with cylindrical, hexagonal, square and H cross sections.

Denso Protal™ Protection For Pipeline Bends
G & J Engineering are nearing completion of a high pressure pipeline diversion project for Wales & West Utilities in Newton Abbot, Devon. The pipeline bends are being installed for a housing development in Hele Park and are protected with Winn & Coales Denso Protal 7300™.
The development is based on a 800mtr diversion of a 500mm high pressure pipeline. The job involves two 5-way stopples with multiple drillings under pressure and line stopping.
Denso Protal 7000™ is a fast-curing, two-pack epoxy coating for protection of buried pipelines. It is applied by brush or trowel. It can be applied up to 1mm in one coat without slumping.

Densostrip™ Protection at Bridlington Omnia Bridge
One of the earlier Omnia Bridge Deck Units in use forms part of the Bridlington Integrated Transport Plan. PBS Construction Ltd from Hull were awarded the contract to construct the road bridge now in use over the Gypsey Race at Beck Hill.
Omnia Bridge Deck Units were used in the design of the bridge deck and Winn & Coales (Denso) Ltd supplied Densostrip™ and Densostrip Primer™ to seal between the supporting steel beams and the Omnia Bridge deck planks. Denso Primer D™ and Densopol 60™ Tape were then used to seal the joints between the precast concrete planks.
The use of these materials prevented any grout loss when the in-situ concrete was poured to form the bridge deck.
