All works were completed during the first few months of the
COVID-19 pandemic where lodging and other accommodations were not easily accessible from the job site. Stonhard's installers did an excellent job in navigating the COVID
environment, respecting all safety procedures in place by the customer and working through a challenging time.
The existing containment area had been coated with a polyurea in 2012
that showed swelling, wrinkling, and delamination- all indicators of severe chemical attack. The chemicals in question included 98% sulfuric acid, 68% nitric acid, and 50% sodium hydroxide. The customer also had heavy forklift traffic in some areas.
