Industrial protective coatings for gas plant, Port Campbell VIC

In December 2023, Access Coatings successfully completed a major industrial coating project for the gas industry in Port Campbell, Victoria. The project involved the repainting of an extensive piperack, requiring a combination of abrasive blasting, protective coatings, and confined space entry to ensure durability and corrosion resistance.

Scope of work

Surface preparation and protective coatings

To achieve a long-lasting, high-quality finish, the project began with mechanical preparation and abrasive blasting to remove contaminants and ensure optimal adhesion for the new coatings. Our team then applied industrial-grade protective coatings using airless and conventional spraying techniques, designed to withstand the harsh environmental conditions of the gas industry.

Confined space entry and access solutions

Certain sections of the piperack were classified as restricted spaces, requiring specialised access methods to apply coatings safely and effectively. Our confined space entry specialists worked closely with engineers and the Structural, Mechanical, and Piping (SMP) team to develop safe and efficient work strategies. By using precise access techniques, we ensured minimal disruption to ongoing plant operations.

Results and project completion

Through careful planning and collaboration, Access Coatings delivered this protective coatings project on time, meeting all safety and quality standards. The newly coated piperack not only improved the aesthetic appearance of the facility but also provided long-term protection against corrosion and environmental damage.
