Tower Painting

Temco has been involved in tower painting since 1994. With over 1500 towers refurbished, Temco is one of the leading tower painting organisations in Australasia.

​

Temco have operated in conditions varying from urban and city centres, tropical and desert climates in Australia, to the sub-arctic National Parks of south New Zealand. In all cases, Temco has committed to meeting the unique environmental challenges of each region.

​

Temco staff are trained to deal with the proximity of live conductors. This includes the use of observers for close approach where necessary.

​

The painting process includes:

• Air assisted wet abrasive cleaning (with garnet) to remove corrosion and surface contaminates to NACE VIS 9/SSPC-VIS 5.

• Wash to remove abrasive, contaminates and surface salts.

• Application of a zinc rich coating to bare steel.

• Application of undercoat and topcoat, or as to manufacturer’s specification.

 

Temco are experienced in the use of zinc rich, vinyl, epoxy, 1 and 2 part coatings.
