M680™ Mortar Pump Resurfaces
Wastewater Transfer Station
CASE STUDY
Challenge:
Commonwealth Epoxy Coatings, Inc., of Newport News, VA, won the contract
to resurface a wastewater transfer station for a regional water and sewer
authority in North Carolina. The specs called for two cementitious materials of
different viscosities.
Commonwealth had never before sprayed the heavier of the two materials and
recognized that their existing equipment wasn’t capable of handling it. That left
them with two immediate options - double their timeline and hand-trowel the
material, or rent large, difficult-to-maneuver shotcrete equipment and absorb
the extra expense. Neither option appealed to them.
Solution:
Fortunately, Commonwealth had enough time to explore a third option: the Graco
™
M680
Mortar Pump. The M680 is capable of handling a range of materials of
varying viscosities at low pressures (typically 200 to 500 psi/13.7 to 34.5 bar).
It is easy to use, which enabled Commonwealth to begin spraying quickly, and
the spray provided excellent thickness control, producing a consistent layer
of material.
Results:
The project took 30 kits to complete. In terms of Commonwealth’s expectations,
the Graco M680 exceeded all of them. According to Vice President Jeff White,
the Graco M680 cut project time in half, reduced costs by one-third and made
it possible for them to spray a new material.
Graco M680 Mortar Pump
Because the Graco M680 is easy to use
and maneuverable, Commonwealth
Epoxy Coatings, Inc. was able to spray
in tight spaces rather than hand-finish,
which Commonwealth estimates cut
the project time in half and reduced
costs by one-third.
