Passive fire protection of electrical cables in VIETNAM.

We visited a mining company outside Hanoi for an application demo as they have problems with their cables mainly in the production area where they use highly corrosive chemicals. Their cables had up to 30 cm thick layers of slag, stone, and mud from the separators located above the cables.

Fire Security offers cable cleaning, cable repair, and fire coating in VIETNAM.

Report from our Asia-Pacific manager Paal Mathisen.

I was traveling in Vietnam last week together with Jean-Christhophe Le Luet from our local partner VivaBlast Vietnam. After a meeting at VivaBlast in Ho Chi Minh City, we traveled to Hanoi.

Cable cleaning and fire paint application.

The cleaning process was done in two steps:

Using dry ice for cable cleaning before fire coating is applied.

We used dry ice for cable cleaning in addition to high-pressure water.

  • high-pressure water cleaning
  • high-pressure dry ice cleaning

Dry ice blasting can be used for cable cleaning without damaging active electrical or mechanical parts.

After the cleaning process, we applied FS-5 coating to protect these cables from future damage and at the same time make the cables fireproof.

 

Markets for cable repair and fire protection.

As of now, we consider the most important market for cable repair and fire protection of electrical cables in Vietnam to be the following industries:

  • Mining
  • Power plants
  • Oil & gas
  • Food manufacturing

In addition to this cable repair demo job in Hanoi, Fire Security has done a few projects some years ago for Japan Vietnam Petroleum Corporation. We are looking forward to coming back to Vietnam for more cable repair and fire protection projects.
