In 2020, Shearwater Marine Services was awarded a contract to install protection for jetty piles at Ullapool Harbour in the Scottish Highlands, on behalf of The Ullapool Harbour Trust.
As consulting engineers on the project, Wallace Stone specified the use of SeaShieldâ„¢ Systems supplied by Winn & Coales (Denso) Ltd to protect the jetty piles. SeaShield Systems have an extensive history of providing long-term corrosion protection to marine structures.
Shearwater Marine Services used a combination of the SeaShield 2000FDâ„¢ and SeaShield 70â„¢ Systems on the piles and various supporting crossbeams on the structure.
SeaShield 2000FD consists of Denso Paste S105â„¢, Denso Marine Piling Tapeâ„¢ and an outer HDPE jacket, which is hydraulically tensioned before being secured with stainless steel fixings.
The SeaShield 70 System was used to protect the crossbeams and is an excellent option on areas where piles have obstructions. This system consists of Denso Paste S105â„¢, Denso Profiling Masticâ„¢, Denso Marine Piling Tapeâ„¢ and Denso Glass Outerwrap 70â„¢.
