The shield is a structure built in the water that allows for ship repairs and maintenance without the need to completely remove them from the water.
Several shields have been manufactured for Prosertek, with the most recent one completed in January 2022. Given the marine environment these structures are exposed to, the process requires meticulous surface preparation and strong paint adhesion to withstand harsh weather conditions.
For optimal adhesion, SA3-grade blasting was chosen.
Followed by a zinc-aluminum metallization.
A sealing coat.
And multiple coats of paint to ensure high durability.
