SCS works with unique coatings that are 6 times stronger than concrete and can be applied in <32F temperatures to rehabilitate various structures.
In 2005 the SCDNR funded a project to rehabilitate and coat about 40,000 square feet of twenty- four concrete raceways which had been neglected and exhibited medium to severe concrete erosion. An architect/ engineering firm was retained to develop a project engineering scope to implement this project without impeding on the fish production and enhance the overall hatchery operations. It was determined to implement this project over the winter months when the fish population in the raceways is at a minimum.
The project was divided into three phases. Fish were transferred from eight raceways to the remaining sixteen where work commenced to rehabilitate and coat the raceways. Upon completion of the initial phase and within a very short operating window, fish were transferred back into the completed raceways. Once again for phase two, fish were transferred from the next set of eight raceways where the rehabilitation and coating process continued until all the raceways were completed in three phases.
