Steel Preservation of the Eemscentrale Scaffolding in Eemshaven

Steel Preservation of the Eemscentrale Scaffolding in Eemshaven

The Eemscentrale in Eemshaven has been in operation since 1977 and is one of the largest gas-fired power plants in Europe. In the 1990s, the plant was expanded with five STEG units, which together account for approximately 10 percent of the installed capacity in the Netherlands. At this prominent coastal location, where Engie generates electricity, SealteQ has been working on major maintenance of the jetty since last year.

The work involves manually removing rust from the steel, followed by the application of three full coats of paint. This steel preservation process provides the steel with lasting protection against the harsh conditions at a coastal energy facility.

To give you an idea of the scale: we’re talking about a scaffold that’s no less than 300 linear meters long, which amounts to thousands of square meters of painting work. All in all, that’s a couple of years’ worth of work for the SealteQ team.

A wonderful project that combines craftsmanship, perseverance, and an eye for detail. We look forward to seeing this project move forward.
