consolvo as and trondheim Kommune choose clean surface maintenance

So, which surface treatment solution delivers the best surface finish for re-coating AND is better for the operator, the public and the environment? 

Pinovo is delighted to be working with Consolvo AS doing clean surface treatment on the Verftsbrua (also known as Blomsterbrua, or "Flower Bridge") in Trondheim. The operator you see in the photograph below is removing old paint and rust from the bridge surface prior to re-coating, 

✅ without having to close the bridge to pedestrians and cyclists,
✅ without the need for sheeting, scaffolding, and cleaning up afterwards, and
✅ without any Paint Microplastic Emissions ending up in the water under the bridge.

Congratulations to Trondheim kommune for choosing the clean surface treatment solution for bridge maintenance, like other municipalities in Norway and Sweden are now doing!

Most industrial and marine surface treatment, using the traditional surface treatment methods, takes place out of sight of the public - on ships and oil rigs, and in shipyards, chemical plants and oil refineries. Bridge work is one of the rare examples where the public can see what normally goes on “behind closed doors”! 

Should you be talking to your Municipality to recommend that they switch from the traditional methods of bridge maintenance, to clean blasting?
