Abstract

JabelAli Extension, Dubai placed Cable Tray Support System with Siemens, Germany. These cable trays are to be coated as per DIN EN ISO 12944-1 with 80 micron hot dip galvanizing. Further the same is to be coated with 60 micron epoxy powder primer and 60 micron epoxy powder by electrostatic precipitation method. After coating is completed, investigation (through field inspection and laboratory testing) is carried out to find whether coating is done as per specification. For this purpose, the coated samples were investigated by microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscope. It would be interesting to mention that coating with only epoxy polyester powder is found.
