SECTORS C4 – C5
Power
A complete range of coatings for the demanding conditions of wind turbines, power plants and transmission lines. Maintenance costs are high on hard-to-reach assets; the system is selected for long durability.
TYPICAL LOAD · Wind load, humidity, temperature cycling
RISK ANALYSIS
This is where corrosion comes from.
- Maintenance costs on elevated and hard-to-reach structures
- Film fatigue caused by temperature cycling and condensation
- Salt load at coastal sites
- Erosion on blade and tower surfaces
RECOMMENDED SYSTEM
Coating build-up.
The layer build-up typically used in this sector. Values are indicative; the final system is determined by the site inspection report and the product technical data sheet.

POINTS TO NOTE
- Target H/VH durability due to difficult access
- At coastal sites, assess the category one level higher
- Plan a weather window for work at height
