- Starting in 2010, Acotec and Strukton - Specialistische Technieken BV, joined forces to face worldwide challanges in maritime maintenance on seaports and canals. Not only quay walls, but also offshore windmill parks is a market which both companies will explore together.
Every day, dock owners are faced to maintenance of their property. To maintain the dock operations and the safety of the people working there, maintenance of the quay walls is extremely important. After several years, technical or maintenance departments are set up to perform this kind of work. To budget and to foresee maintenance is one thing, but to perform the actual work is something else. Difficult challanges, such as round piles which are driven crosswise through each other with very narrow or no space at all between them, are very difficult to handle. To apply a durable coating and perform the required preperations, a dry environment is necessary. Acotec and Strukton - Specialistische Technieken BV, will face these challanges together and provide a customized solution to clients everywhere in the world. This is an important step in dock management and can save billions.
Next to challanging these maintenance issues on seaports, Acotec and Strukton - Specialistische Technieken BV, work on protecting offshore windmill parks with the Humidur coatings. Offshore windwills are subject to the tidal activities what makes each windmill a victime of corrosion. Humidur can be applied as a durable coating which protects the investment of renewable energy. To make renewable energy sources more durable, nuclear and other poluting forms of energy are given less chance.
