Project Description:
The Nye County School District, Nevada

The Nye County School District is located in the south-central portion of the State of Nevada. It is the third largest county in the continental United States and has one of the largest geographical school districts in the nation.

Their school buses must not only undergo all of the normal hardships that buses are put through, but they must also stand up to the special challenges of the high desert environment. Searing daytime heat and bone-chilling nightime cold are the norm. Add to that the abrasive effects of blowing sand and the destructive power of ultraviolet light, and you have a combination of forces that few coatings can resist for very long.

With these challenges in mind, the Nye County School District Maintenance Department selected Rust Bullet for special testing on their buses.

BF Goodrich Aerospace
San Diego, California

BF Goodrich Aerospace provides essential products and services to the commercial, military, and space industries. Because their facility is located on the Pacific Ocean coastline and rust is a serious ongoing problem, Rust Bullet was used to coat the walls of this lightning strike chamber which is constructed entirely of steel grating. This chamber is used to test the effects of lightning on their aircraft and aerospace equipment.

Project Description:

The Imperial Dam
Arizona

The Imperial Dam is located about 20 miles northeast of Yuma, Arizona, and straddles the California-Arizona boarder. This dam was a first for the world of irrigation, where river water would be held and then diverted into a giant desilting plant before being released into the All-American Canal. The Imperial Dam’s reservior area has a nearly stable water surface elevation of 181 feet above sea level and provides opportunities for camping, hunting, boating, fishing and other popular water-related recreation activities.

Construction of the Imperial Dam and its desilting works was completed in 1938. Because of the simplicity of application, minimal prep work, and long lasting rust and corrosion protection, it was decided to use Rust Bullet on the rust and corrosion that had been building up for the past 65 years.

Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant
City of San Diego

The City of San Diego Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant, which is located on the Pacific coastline, is the largest wastewater treatment plant in the Metro System and treats about 190 million gallons per day. The plant is currently undergoing upgrading and expansion of its treatment processes and support facilities. Rust Bullet was applied to the already rusted frame and surface of their new one million gallon digester, before being put into service early in 2002.
