Two 2.2m ductile header pipes each 180m long were re-lined. Following full surface preparation the following Corrocoat products were applied. Polyglass VE to fill and repair pitting, PPA primer to hold the prepared surface and finally P100 in two coats to achieve an average film thickness of 1250 μm. Armagel was used on header bends to resist against erosion and abrasion issues.
