CONTAINMENT SERVICES
Our containment tents are quickly set up, and expandable in both width and length. Tested for decades, these mega-sized tents are engineered for withstanding heavy winds and inclement precipitation. The hollow aluminum box beam uses an ingenious groove in each of the four corners. A fabric welt called keder slides into the grooves in the box beam. The result is a lightweight fabric structure that can be rapidly installed and withstand severe weather conditions. |

USS PONCE DECK RESURFACING
|
When a warship comes in to dock for deck resurfacing, IFPC’s own expert team goes straight to work, in many cases 24/7. Commuters in Newport News, Virginia might see towering spines of aluminum being erected atop the ship as a mega-sized PVC fabric membrane is overlain. When the new deck primer and finish are being applied, temperature and humidity requirements are strict. IFPC’s climate-controlled containment tents ensure these protocols are met – ultimately helping with adhesion of the new flooring materials and with improved drying time. “The work of removing the worn out decking must be contained; dust, dirt and removed materials are captured and later disposed,” says Robert Patrick, IFPC’s General Manager. “To meet EPA standards, a super-sized containment tent is erected and fortified at all four corners,” adds Gooch.
