Cutting and Patching: Addressing Problem Areas on the CFSE Molasses Tanker

Take a closer look at the cutting and patching process as the A1 Tanker Repairs team addresses key problem areas on the CFSE Molasses tanker, preparing it for a full restoration.
The “Cutting and Patching” phase of the CFSE Molasses tanker refurbishment is a crucial step in restoring the tanker’s structural integrity. Over time, various sections of the tanker had suffered from rust and damage, compromising its overall strength and functionality. To address these issues, our team at A1 Tanker Repairs undertook a meticulous process of identifying the affected areas, cutting away the damaged sections, and welding new metal patches into place.

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.

Cleaning up the edges

These steps are essential in the ongoing restoration of the CFSE Molasses tanker, bringing us closer to a fully refurbished and road-ready vehicle. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to bring this tanker back to life.
