Identifying the problem areas and cutting
As we continue the refurbishment of the CFSE Molasses tanker, our team has identified several areas that require significant work. These problem sections, affected by rust and damage, must be carefully cut away to prepare for repatching. In this gallery, you can see the targeted areas where the A1 Tanker Repairs team has made precise cuts, removing the compromised metal and creating clean edges for the upcoming patching process.
Patching up
Once the problem areas have been cut out, our team moves on to the critical task of repatching. Using custom-fit metal sheets, we weld new patches into place, seamlessly integrating them with the existing structure. This process not only repairs the damaged sections but also reinforces the overall integrity of the tanker. The attention to detail in the welding ensures that the patches are secure, durable, and ready to withstand the rigors of daily use.
