Business Unit: FBE (Pipe Coating)

Company: George Green / Bedford Pumps

North Lynn pumping station is located in the North West of Kings Lynn. It is owned by Kings Lynn Internal Drainage Board and provides water level management to a catchment of approx. 590 Hectares. The existing pipework was installed in 1989, and the pumps and controls have reached the end of their economically serviceable life. The customer requested a DWI approved pipe coating, alongside a specification that the pipes must have a black external finish.

The most effective way for Northpoint to achieve this was to coat the pipes in the fluidised bed and coat internally and externally with Resicoat R4 in a light aqua green in order to obtain the DWI standards required. Following this, an external wet paint system was applied to achieve the specific black colour requested by the client.
