2014It’s smooth sailing ahead for mariners who used CHEMCLAD® SC instead of traditional hull protection methods
Long Island, home of the ENECON® headquarters, is surrounded by water so there is a lot of boating of all kinds. Taking care of a boat that is affected by weather and salt water is no small project, and is not inexpensive either.

What does it take to make a maintenance manager say, “Repair – Don’t Replace®”? Picture this: You’re the maintenance manager at a steel plant and you are facing having to tell your company that you have to remove a roof of a building, use a crane or helicopter to remove a tank, and then replace it with a new one. This would have cost hundreds…

With back-to-school in mind, we decided to share this story about a school district that had a challenge. A 100 year old school had a leaking roof and to replace it would have meant a lot of money and voting for a bond. As you can imagine, the voters would not have been happy about the expense. The facilities manager contacted ENECON and showed us…

2013A Pharma company took the right ‘steps’ to repair not replace
A 30 year old stairway leading to the main entrance of a busy building was deteriorating and cracking. Completely rebuilding the stairway wasn’t an ideal solution in terms of both time and expense.

2013A “Repair Don’t Replace” Story: Transit line fixes roof water penetration problem with Eneseal coating instead of replacing the roof of the train.
A metropolitan transit line that carries thousands of riders each day was having a big problem with water penetrating into the passenger area of their cars. It would cost about $40,000.00 to replace the roofs and would also take about a month each. A new car was not an option because that was about 2-3 million dollars. The Director of Technical Services asked us if…

2013Custom Color wins work
Picture if you will, one of those ramp structures over a busy highway that looks like an octopus with many on-ramps, off-ramps, loops, and curves. The Department of Transportation had some very specific needs. They had conducted a two-year rust-through test that of course we passed. They also had another unusual requirement. They wanted us to match a specific color. We matched the color for…
