Project Overview
Industry: Power Generation
Location: SA
Types of Laser Used: 300W, 500W & 1000W
Summary:
PLC was contracted by the City of Onkaparinga to urgently remove an anti-graffiti sealant from Minkarra Skate Park’s skate bowl, restoring a safe, non-slip surface ahead of the busy Christmas period.
)
The Challenges
Ineffective Past Methods: Previous attempts either failed or damaged the concrete. Traditional abrasive or chemical methods risked further degradation, posed environmental and public hazards.
Environmental & Community Sensitivity: As an outdoor public site near homes, strict environmental guidelines applied. Chemical use was prohibited and noise had to be minimal, making PLC’s low-noise laser ideal.
Tight Timeframe: Works needed to be completed quickly ahead of the school holiday rush to ensure the park reopened for peak use.
The Solution
Laser Equipment Used: Netalux 300W, 500W and 1000W lasers were used for efficient, precise sealant removal.
Access and Containment: The skate bowl was scaffolded and encapsulated to ensure safe, controlled access.
HEPA Extraction: Inline HEPA filtration maintained air quality and captured dust.
