Shipyard Servicing - Part 1 - Pickling & Flushing

In the summer of 2024, Walco Industries Ltd. showcased its expertise in shipyard servicing by executing critical projects, including the chemical pickling and flushing of fuel and oil lines on a Canadian fisheries patrol vessel and the lead paint removal from a black class light icebreaker vessel. When a competitor failed to meet deadlines, Walco stepped in, coordinating with stakeholders to perform a hot water flush followed by a specialized chemical treatment to ensure the integrity of the piping systems. Concurrently, the company utilized ultra-high-pressure water jetting at 40,000 PSI to efficiently remove lead paint while minimizing lead exposure, all under strict safety protocols.
