Million of Dollars wasted to the Mishap of Epoxy-coated Iron Pipe

GBE has been practicing in the various large scale repair , renovation, asset upgrading and new development project. We have experienced the entire life – cycle of the property .

An interesting observation was the choice of epoxy-coated iron pipe by many peers . Many prefers this pipe with their specific reason, but seldom can share the issue associated with the maintenance

Below is the footage we made to illustrate the inherent problem of epoxy-coated pipe. The internal lining which was formed by rolling iron-sheeting, was peeled off and physically blocked all the deposit inside.

We observe there are some reasons causing the peeling off. The issue such as mis-alignment of stainless steel collar to the pipe, the imperfect treatment to all the cut edges, wrong choice of fitting and insufficient of pipe brackets.

GBE is glad to be appointed again for the luxury residential apartments in Happy Valley. This project is the Professional call.

Being the Professional Surveyor / AP / RSE, a very technical and holistic approach to mastering of the old design code against the current enforceable standard prevailing in the town.

With the aid of BIM uses, the drawing generation, spatial survey, crash analysis are all in place to lever up the entire quality of services.

What a shame when million of money has spent with tons of supervision and ends up the concrete quality like below picture.

While much says were casted on the deficiency supervision, GBE wants to highight how a professional approach should be to handle and redo the concrete columns. How to contain the damage ? how to maintain and bring back the right supporting structure ? What should be done right once and for all. See the video.
