Projects - Corrosion Control | Birds Eye
Parts of the Birds Eye factory in Lowestoft, Suffolk; were suffering badly from rust and showing signs of extensive corrosion. We won the tender to carry out the corrosion control and protective coating of the ‘Pipe bridge’.
This large industrial steel framework, protects and supports the main services that are vital to keep the factory running. Over 100 linear meters of steel housing for power lines, gas pipes, water supply pipes, ammonia pipes and more.
The ‘Pipe bridge’ had extensive corrosion across all areas of the steel. All the rust needed to be removed and the entire structure painted with a protective coating. The protective coating system had to tolerate the extreme weather and conditions next to the sea.
The Birdseye factory is a 24/7 working environment. The ‘Pipe bridge’ had to be worked on in three separate stages, in order to minimise any disruption. Each phase was scaffolded to enable access to all areas.
Working closely with our preferred specialist coating manufacturer Rustoleum, a bespoke specification was compiled for the work.
To remove the corrosion, we have to use non-sparking methods to prevent any kind of fire hazards or risks of explosion. Wet grit blasting proved the best way for us to do this. The on site wet grit blasters removed all signs of rust and returned the ‘Pipe bridge’ back to clean, bright steel.
Once the preparation had been completed, our specialist on site painting team began spot priming all blasted areas with the Rustoleum 9169 Epoxy Rust Primer.
Our team then applied a high build, high performance, Rustoleum 9100 epoxy coating system to give a high build mid-coat with additional anti-corrosive protection. The coating system was then finished with the Rustoleum 9200 twin pack polyurethane topcoat. This topcoat has exceptionally high impact and abrasion resistance, as well as excellent, long lasting colour and sheen retention.
The project has now been successfully completed and the end product is a long lasting, anti-corrosive coating system which will last Birdseye for years to come.

They paid so much attention to detail and made sure that every inch of the van looked perfect. They were also very very helpful and were more than happy to help with any queries I had. They have made it look like a brand new van and I can’t wait to have them back soon to start working on the interior! I cannot recommend enough, especially with there great prices.

out of 15 ReviewsGreat service. Tom and team came to site and provided 3 options at different budgets. Once we narrowed it down they did a small sample patch so we could see the finished result.We were tight on time but they managed to get the job done - grind off some awful screed back to concrete, polish, and then clear coat. the result was great.Would recommend and use again.

out of 15 ReviewsProfessional friendly and very helpful company and guys to deal with. We bought an old industrial unit with an asbestos roof with internal guttering system that are prone to leaking - the advice and specialist solutions Cladspray provided were not only cost effective but very practical and have extended the useful life of the roof at least another 20 years - excellent company, service and support I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!
