EnduroShield prevents stainless steel deterioration of Sydney Landmark Building
Unlike most projects where EnduroShield® is specified as
a preventative measure, Bovis Lend-Lease called on an EnduroShield®
protective coating to overcome a problem at Sydney's Rabo Bank Head Office.
Located in Sydney's Cockle Bay foreshore development, The Rabo Bank occupies
tower three of the Bovis Lend Lease Darling Park Development. The design
includes extensive use of architectural stainless steel throughout the tower
providing a distinctive appearance.
After only a short period of time since completion the stainless steel
surface began to suffer from unsightly corrosion and pitting. This was
due mainly to the rough bead blasted finish of the stainless steel and
the building's close proximity to the nearby harbour and main roads.
Prior to application, successful trials of EnduroShield® proved effective
in prolonging and controlling the rapid return of the corrosion to the
stainless steels surfaces. Following the trials, numerous stainless steel
poles and facades at the inner city building were then restored and applied
with EnduroShield® for Stainless Steel.
EnduroShield® has dramatically improved appearance of the building and has
assisted in reducing maintenance costs.
Suitable for all stainless steel surfaces both commercial and residential,
EnduroShield® can be applied to both new and old surfaces, indoor and out.
The permanent protective coating uses state of the art nanotechnology and is
only two molecules thick. The invisible coating seals the surface causing
contaminants to remain on top of the coating which makes them easy to remove
and prevents corrosion.
