“We’ve been working with Wheelabrator for a couple of years, to look after and gradually improve our existing equipment, until we reached a tipping point with the old line. We asked the team from Wheelabrator to help us design and install a state-of-the-art line that meets our ambitious standards – and will do so for decades to come.
“We are very pleased with what has been achieved and it’s great to see marine vessel production thrive again at this location, thanks to investment in latest technology and good people. We are all proud of the quality of our barges and proud to be continuing a long heritage at this site.”
The new preservation line usually runs about 10 hours per day to address all of BMP’s production requirements, accommodate sudden peaks in demand and allow time for maintenance. A marked change to the old machine, which had to run three shifts a day to meet output targets.
Jay Benito at Wheelabrator said: “We are incredibly proud of this installation, which allowed the facility to both increase production and save $400,000 a year on paint through improved paint transfer efficiency. Keeping the production of high quality vessels competitive at a heritage site is a great feeling!”
