Our UHPC materials are not always processed
under optimal environmental conditions. Here
is an example from the steel industry. We have
been producing and supplying UHPC wear
protection material for steel plants and their
plant suppliers worldwide for more than 20
years.
In this case it was a project by a German
supplier for blast furnace dedusting systems.
A new dedusting cyclone in Kazakhstan was
to be lined in a steelworks by local fitters with
UHPC wear protection. At the time the assembly
was to take place, daytime temperatures from
-10°C / 14°F to -18°C /-0.4°F could be measured.
It was hardly possible to store all of the UHPC
material warm. The cyclone stood outdoors.
The assembly in these conditions was a pure
adventure for our supervisor. Over 40 tons of
UHPC wear protection material had to be
transported and processed. The system supplier
specified the lining thickness in some areas of
the cyclone as 20 mm and in others as 30 mm.
The working conditions were very unusual, as
were the safety conditions. In some areas of the
cyclone, there was no access to completely icy
scaffolding.
This project was one of many where learned a lot
about the assembly of UHPC material under
extreme temperatures and special assembly conditions.
In this case, the wear protection lining was installed
in the time specified by the customer.
