During the construction of the Hibernia Platform off Newfoundland in the mid-90's Brant's large capacity, facilities and reputation attracted the interest of the platform partners and their suppliers. As a result, we completed several contracts for this project, totaling $600,000, some of which are pictured below.
 

The  11' DIA. x 62'L Vacuum Degasifier above was coated in our Brantford facility for Ecodyne Limited. The interior compartments and structures were blasted to SSPC SP-5 white metal with a 4-6mil profile and coated with 60mil DFT of a glass flake filled vinyl ester. The exterior received a conventional 13mil zinc epoxy urethane system to provide protection against the harsh ocean environment. Both the interior and exterior were tested 100% pinhole free. After special packaging and preservation requirements were complied with the vessel was shipped to the port of Hamilton for transport to Italy and final assembly before returning to Bulls Arm, Newfoundland

On location in Port-Aux-Basques, Newfoundland Brant rubber lined 8 pipe spools 24"DIA. x 30' long in both straight and bend configurations. Polymerics BFG-201 1 -C Neoprene was subjected to extreme pre qualification testing, including accelerated seawater aging and cathodic disbondment testing prior to installation. On site NACE inspection was provided by G.L. Stone Enterprises, reporting to our client, a joint venture of Atlantic Seaboard Industries and their Norwegian technical partner.
	For the Newfoundland Dock Yards Corp. we rubber lined on site in St. John's a 22'DIA.x3O'H domed ballast tank with Polymerics BFG-2011-C Neoprene. All rubber was preheated and applied during extreme weather conditions requiring special precautions. After successfully curing the vessel in place, it was shipped by barge to Bulls Arm.   For the same client we similarly lined and autoclave-cured in Brantford additional smaller tankage and 6 sections totalling 138’ of  30" diameter stillwell piping fabricated by Nicholls Radtke in Cambridge, Ontario.
In our Brantford plant we lined with 1/2" of Polymerics BFG-2011 -C Neoprene, J-tubes, risers and shale chutes for Dominion Bridge (Quebec). After spark testing and ultrasonic adhesion testing the lining, witnessed by an independent NACE inspector, the exterior was then blasted to SSPC SP-5 and finished with a 16mil pinhole free sprayed modified epoxy. These components were then labeled, packaged and shipped to the job site to be used for ballast transfer. Also for Dominion Bridge we supplied 84 unique shale chute guides and clamps of ribbed Neoprene up to 1 " thick to stabilize the J-tubes, risers, and shale chutes during the ballast transfer process.

This work involved plying their trade while suspended from the side of the upper structure 180' above the seas. Our experienced field crews have traveled worldwide to such locations as Japan, Hawaii, Jamaica, and Indonesia.
A final smaller project, consisting of lining and coating (4) 30" DIA shale chutes directly for the Hibernia Management and Development Co. Ltd, completed our involvement with the Hibernia Development Project.
