The Astoria Column - Oregon
This beautiful monument, recently restored under Monarflex containment,
relates the history of the American Northwest. As the Public Works
Director wrote, "With Monarflex we were able to protect the artwork and
the artists and accomplish the needed restoration." His conclusion: "We
could not have completed this important project without Monarflex."

On Ship Containment
The USS Pioneer's mast was fully contained. The success of rigid frame
containment combined with Monarflex sheeting has proven to be the most
reliable method and is now widely used by the U.S. Navy.

The Marines
Monarflex T material was used to cover U.S. Marine helicopters. The material
was bonded with Monobond tape and special zip-door panels were used for
controlled access. The enclosed area was then overpressurized and
dehumidified.

Small Structure Containment
An example of SSPC Class I containment on a propeller shaft using Monarflex
sheeting and components. From the interior it was clear that the sheeting
effectively provided total emission control.

Tank Containment
Traditional scaffolding and Monarflex sheeting combine to provide
containment for this structure. The sheeting is attached so that the overlap
is internal and dust does not "fall out" of the containment. "QUICK" -
"SIMPLE" - AND "VERY EFFECTIVE"

Smoke Bomb Test
Demonstration of total containment at Norfolk, Virginia. Negative pressure
was used to draw sheeting tightly so that when the smoke grenade was
exploded no smoke escaped the contained area. Zip door can be seen with
control panel to control internal pressure.

Offshore
A typical example of Monarflex T-Plus being used in an offshore/petrochem
application. Extra strength fixings were used so that the sheeting could
withstand the extremely high winds experienced in this area and provide
total protection for the work crews.

Bridge Containment
The historic Cheshire Bridge crossing the Connecticut River at Charlestown,
New Hampshire was the first bridge in the United States contained by
Monarflex. The interior picture indicates the area containment and the ease
with which a single worker can move a full roll of Monarflex sheeting. The
exterior shows the project with the first two spans completed, with the same
sheeting used for the third span. During the following twenty-month period
the contractor realized greater benefits than ever expected through re-use
of this material on other projects.
