Each seven-story high blast cell has independent vacuum grit recovery capable of removing 20 tonnes of steel abrasive per hour from confined spaces on the vessel plus “sweep to a point” mechanical recovery equipment for abrasive used to prepare the hull to SA 2.5. The paint cells will provide both confined space ventilation and general overspray removal from around the hull.
