Conclusions
-
1.
Epoxy foam heat-and-water insulation and epoxy-pitch waterproofing have been found to be suitable for structures in regions with a severe climate, and in particular for tidal power stations built by the floating method.
-
2.
Industrial experience in the construction of the Kislogubsk tidal power station has shown the advantages of using epoxy plastic solutions for constructing waterproofing seams and repairing defects in the concreting of thin-walled concrete structures.
-
3.
The coating technology is simple and requires no special equipment.
-
4.
Subsequent service experience of the concrete structures of the Kislogubsk tidal power station and insulating coatings in the Barents Sea confirms the long life of the compositions used, and the results can be taken into consideration when devising new types of sheathing.
