CASE STUDY

A job completed by HTC on the Greenwich Peninsula, painted in 'Ultrimax 1 Compliant'.  The colours of the cranes were specified by Myerscough, who

commented on completion of the job,"I like the idea that the first two cranes form the sun, and the colours of the other cranes respond to this hot colour palette."

CASE STUDY

Company:  HTC Wolffkran Location:  Yorkshire Ultrimax Representative:  Bruce Hoare

Challenge The tower cranes are painted in the company's bright colours, so cosmetically they areattractive for transport to site and when they are erected.  The cranes are often visible to thepublic in popular thriving cities and often stationed for several months/years, hence they cansoon become an eyesore if the coating on the crane breaks down.  This is what they wereexperiencing after 6 months of a crane being exposed to the elements, it had almost totallyfaded or changed colour - transforming the company image, and the view of the locals.  

Solution We introduced our ever improving 'Ultrimax 1' HS Compliant coating, which combines ourcolour rich tinters and high solids resins.  They apply it with Electrostatic spray, whichcontributes to giving an even film thickness around the crane, and reduces paint usage andoverspray, which in turn reduces VOCs.  

Result HTC now has confidence supplying cranes that still look as attractive after 18 months on site,as they do when they leave the yard freshly painted.  In working with them on their colourretention, we also managed to streamline their whole paint process, so they are nowoperating an extremely lean & 'cost effective' paint shop.
