Transformer Leak Repair
Rapid In-Situ Application Possible
Transformers are susceptible to oil leakage which can be caused by corrosion or faulty welds. This leads to breakdown of fins, flanges, valves, seals and pipework. If leaks are not stemmed and repaired, further deterioration will occur resulting in loss of oil, environmental damage and downtime. BIG offers a cold applied Belzona polymer repair composite which is oil and wet surface tolerant. Even live leaks can be stemmed and permanently sealed in-situ, reducing downtime and costly replacement.
