The Port of Seattle, the gate way to the Pacific Northwest. solution: Series 2000FD

In the summer of 2008, the Port of Seattle wanted to start a trial project to protect 40 piles on piers 66 & 69
with Densos SeaShield Series 2000HD System. After the piles received proper surface preparation, they
applied Denso S105 paste, Densyl Tape with 55% overlap and the Series 2000HD Outercover (80 mil HDPE)
to the piles splash-zone area.
After 3 years of monitoring by the ports maintenance and engineering groups, they determined that Densos
SeaShield Series 2000HD System protected the piles from splash-zone corrosion as advertised. The Port of
Seattle was pleased and moved forward to protect the remaining 510 piles on piers 66 & 69 with the Series
2000HD System. The project was bid out in 2013 and awarded to KC Construction.
The SeaShield Series 2000HD System was soon after installed and was completed in early 2014, leaving
the Port of Seattle standing strong to keep it a major North American distribution and travel terminal for
decades to come.
