Fire protection, floors and anti-corrosion in Nukus

Chemical and gas-chemical plants in Karakalpakstan operate in difficult conditions: salt dust from the dried-up bed of the Aral Sea makes the atmosphere more aggressive towards steel. In Nukus and across the Republic of Karakalpakstan, STATERM protects steel structures against corrosion and fire with its own materials, from cleaning to project handover.

Where steel protection in Nukus starts

First, we look into the conditions: which structures stand outdoors and which are in workshops, what media they are exposed to, and what fire-resistance limit the design requires. Based on this, we select a Stacor system and TERM fire protection and calculate the materials. Then come cleaning of the steel, coat-by-coat application with thickness checks, and a document package for handover.

Work we carry out in Karakalpakstan

Sandblasting. We remove rust, salt deposits and old paint: a multi-coat system needs clean steel. Learn more

Anti-corrosion protection. A zinc-rich primer, an epoxy intermediate coat and a UV-resistant enamel for outdoor structures, platforms and equipment at chemical plants. Learn more

Fire protection of steel structures. TERM-009 for structures in the open air, TERM-007 for indoor frames; TERM fire protection increases the fire-resistance limit of steel structures up to 120 minutes. Learn more

Experience at a chemical plant

STATERM has worked at Navoiazot, a chemical plant in Navoi Region. It is the same type of facility as the chemical plants of Karakalpakstan.

Questions about work in Karakalpakstan

What if the old coating has already been destroyed by salt?

We remove it by sandblasting down to bare metal and apply the system again: zinc-rich primer, epoxy coat, finishing enamel. We will assess the scope of work from photos or after an inspection.

What does the price of work at a chemical plant depend on?

On the area and condition of the steel, the number of coats in the system and the required fire-resistance limit. Send us the steelwork specification or a description of the site, and we will calculate the materials and labour.
