Utilithane® Polyurethane Coating Water Applications
January 18, 2019Utilithane® Polyurethane Coating Power Plant Cooling Tower Deck Application
Hudson Ranch Geothermal Plant, Calipatria, California
Location is to the South of the Salton Sea, California
North end of the Cooling Tower with the Pump Sump in the foreground. Hudson Ranch Geothermal Plant Cooling Tower Basin/Deck coated with Utilithane® Polyurethane Coating at 125 Mils thick. Basin Dimensions are 338 Feet Length by 52 Feet Width and includes a 6 foot wall surrounding the Deck/Basin. The Pump Sump at the end of the Basin is also be coated with Utilithane®. Total area of Coating work is in excess of 25,000 Square Feet.
Utilithane® Polyurethane Coating is applied at 125 Mils thick on the Concrete Deck and Walls of the Cooling Tower Basin. The 800 support legs for the Cooling Tower have 500 Mils [1/2 inch] thick of Utilithane® Coating applied around the post base plates, burying the plates monolithically within the coating, creating a water tight deck around all the base plates.

Utilithane® Polyurethane Coating is absolutely unique with the ability to be applied over concrete surfaces containing prolific bugholes with no pin-holing or blow-holing of the coating during the application process.

The Pump Sump “floor” was coated with Utilithane® Coating at 250 Mils thick and mechanically locked down with Keyways ¼ inch wide and 1 inch deep to compensate for expected turbulence within the Sump. Keyways are saw-cut into the concrete substrate and flooded with Utilithane® coating during application.
