What we offer:
Abrasive cleaning, paints and vanishes
More than 20 years of experience in the fields of maintaining bridge steel structures has given EWG an extensive and specialised knowledge.
Supervised by our own FROSIO inspectors, our operators have handled and protected many bridges using a wide range of cleaning tools and application methods.
We offer competitive quotes to:
-
Abrasive blast cleaning
-
Water-jetting
-
Flange cleaning
-
Metallization with zinc or aluminium
-
Passive Fire Protection
Inspections and reports written by EWG, will provide a clear picture of the state of the present corrosion, and hence enable the clients to determine the optimum and method for preservation (or refurbishing) the paintwork of the bridge.
Dehumidification
EWG offers installation, service and maintenance of dehumidification process plants in bridge box girders, pylons, anchorage blocks and installation, and most importantly the suspension cables.
Since 2003 EWG has played an important part in most major bridge projects of this kind, working on projects in countries such as Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Turkey.
In every project we have been able to improve the initial design, and thus providing the client with a virtually maintenance-free, and energy efficient dehumidification installation.
The recorded data of availability is running close to 100% and ensuring a corrosion-free environment, within the suspension cables as well as all the other important bridge structures.
Wrapping
European Wrapping Group is an approved applicator and preferred installer of The CableGuard™ System developed and produced by DS Brown Co.
CableGuard™ consists of strips made of glass fibre reinforced polyethylene sheets, that form an air-proof and durable protection of the main cables of suspension bridges. The strips are uniformly wrapped twice around the cable and melted together using inflatable electrical heating blankets.
The maximum working pressure to which the CableGuard™ can operate is 3000 Pa. Normal injection pressure lies in the range of 600 – 1500 Pa.
The combination of blowing dehumidified air into suspension cables through the use of CableGuard™ is a unique way of combining two well tested, but different methods.
