Sea Shield System Chosen

For Corrosion Protection At

NY's La Guardia Airport

The New York Port Authority has selected the SeaShield System from Denso North America, Hous- ton, Texas, for splash zone corro- sion protection of steel pilings at La

Guardia International Airport. In- stallation is currently underway and is expected to be completed later this year.

The project calls for the protec- tion of more than 2,000 steel piles which support runways extending over the East River. The system replaces an epoxy coating that was no longer effective under harsh splash zone conditions.

SeaShield was chosen following a stringent two-year assessment pro- gram in which various methods of splash zone protection were evalu- ated under equivalent test condi- tions.

The SeaShield System consists of specially formulated primer, mas- tic, petrolatum-based tape and pro- tective undercover, which provide a triple barrier that seals against the corrosive effects of air and water.

The 100-mil HDPE outercover also protects against weathering and mechanical damage.

SeaShield provides protection to new or existing metal, concrete and wood structures on docks, offshore platforms and wharf facilities.
