Leask Marine complete shot blasting & painting of Sanday Linkspan for Orkney Islands Council

Published on January 27 2021

Leask Marine recently completed a project for Orkney Island Council to Shot blast and paint the Loth Pier linkspan at Sanday Ferry Terminal on the Island of Sanday in the Orkney Isles.

The Leask Marine Civil Engineering team working from land and from a mobile marine platform pressure cleaned, shot blasted and painted the whole linkspan. In addition, new steel handrails were fabricated and fitted to the linkspan, all welds were MPI tested, steel was galvanised prior to fitting, and new power boxes were fabricated and fitted. The blast kit used an extraction system fitted to contain all used blast and debris in a storage vessel to reduce spillage and recycle material quickly.
