Aggreko ensures the best possible finish for a tunnel
The challenge for the customer
Tunnelling conditions in this time
sensitive motorway project were causing difficulty. Humidity
and cold temperature within the tunnel were delaying the painting
of the tunnel surfaces. An essential requirement was to raise
temperature and dry out the tunnel environment.
Aggreko’s solution
To keep the project on track,
Aggreko supplied four 125Kw oil fired heaters, which deliver hot,
dry air. Eight 5,000 cfm air movers ensured this dry air
reached all parts of the tunnel. An Aggreko diesel generator
provided the electrical power required.
The benefits to the customer
Dampness within the tunnel was
rapidly reduced, and ambient temperature raised. The painting
was able to proceed to schedule, bringing the project to a
successful conclusion.
