Building Repairs & maintenance Solutions

Construction companies within the Heavy Industry Sector focus their activities around transport and water infrastructure, utility systems, and other major engineering projects for public and private clients. 

This industry is not only tasked with new construction projects, but also with shoring up the nation’s crumbling infrastructure due to age and climatic events like wildfires, earthquakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes.

The building repairs and maintenance associated with the modernization of schools, community colleges, federal buildings, and hospitals also fall within the purview of this industry.  

Building Repairs and Maintenance Challenges

The challenges within this industry are similar to those in other sectors – controlling costs and extending asset lifespans. In addition, avoiding the breakdown of machinery and completing mechanical system upgrades such as those needed for electrical, heating, and plumbing systems are also at the top of the list.

The immobility of these projects presents their own specific set of challenges. In many cases, repairing the existing structure and equipment is necessary when waiting for replacements is not an option to keep critical operations functioning.

VRC’s Solutions for the Construction Industry

VRC’s Cold Spray equipment and technology offer cost-efficient repairs, and the application of wear-resistant coatings extend the lifespan of your construction assets. The portability of the VRC Metal Systems’ High-Pressure Cold Spray (HPCS) meets the immobility challenge of the Construction Industry well, with modular units that easily travel to where they are needed. 

Cold spray is a high kinetic-energy solid-state coating and powder consolidation process. Application of metals, metal alloys, and metal blends offer the following building repairs and maintenance solutions:

  • reducing or eliminating the need for replacement by repairing damaged or corroded pipelines in situ
  • generating high-quality repairs due to the very low heat process avoiding heat-related damage or weakened substrates
  • keeping projects on schedule by eliminating the need to shut down or evacuate hazardous materials from pipelines due to the inert-gas-driven process producing no flames, sparks, or arcs
  • slowing or preventing future corrosion by applying highly corrosion-resistant materials, such as zinc and aluminum, thereby extending the lifespan of the existing systems
  • controlling costs by eliminating disassembly and transportation logistics with portable application modules

VRC Metal Systems is trusted by government organizations and reputable institutions worldwide. With VRC’s High-Pressure Cold Spray systems, you receive expert on-site implementation and maintenance support from highly-trained staff.
