Restoration Project - Port of San Francisco
Port of San Francisco, California USA
The Challenge:
The Port Authority wanted to restore corroding historic structures which contained Lead-Based Paint & needed stabilizing before the park would open to the public. The center piece crane being a visual icon along with many other structures needed to have the rust halted, lead-based paint safely sealed & all surfaces protected as part of the historical preservation project of the San Francisco Crane Cove Park.
Benefits Desired:
- GREEN & Environmentally Advanced
- Halt Rust & Prevent Future Corrosion
- Minimum Surface Preparation
- Seal, Waterproof, Protect Surfaces
- Durable, Withstand Extreme Temperatures
- Sustainable & Cost Effective
- 20 Year Warranty, Renewable Solution
- Custom Colored
Results:
GEI’s (GLOBAL Encasement, Inc.) award-winning coating system was chosen for its ability to halt rust & simply seal in lead based paint along with providing long-term durability, resistance to wind, salt sea spray & damaging UV rays. GEI’s R.I.P.™ Rust Inhibiting Primer was first applied, inhibiting further rust. Next PrepLESS Primer was applied to lock in place any loose flaking paint chips followed by custom colored LeadLock™ TopCoat. This proven system design revitalized the old surfaces providing long-lasting protection from both Lead-Based Paint exposure & future ravages of weather & time.
Testimonial: I’m gratified that we’ve been able to use the Global Encasement, Inc. system to stabilize & preserve our historic structures & equipment. Your technical guidance has been instrumental to achieving that goal.
