Marine Corps Logistics Base
Date: 2012
Location: Barstow, California
The Problem: The US Marine Corps Laboratory Base has a ground water remediation plant with10’ diameter Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) vessels. They needed a company with prior experience to inspect the vessels and determine all necessary repairs. The GAC vessels were originally lined with vinyl ester l, a difficult lining to apply that requires experience to be done correctly. There are visible rust stains from the exterior and a hole in the steel with water leaking out. At this point we assume a thorough analysis and a substantial amount of work will be needed to get these vessels in good working condition. Complete Job Safety Analyses (JSAs) and site-specific safety plans are required prior to starting any work.
The Solution: Goodwest submits complete and thorough safety plans to a board of specialists and demonstrates their ability to perform the work in a safe manner. Goodwest has extensive experience in water treatment systems in partnering with companies like Siemens Water Technologies, which was the company contracted to remove the carbon from the vessel prior to Goodwest’s inspection.

Cal State University Long Beach
Date: 2010
Location: Long Beach, California
The Problem: The concrete was so degraded, spalled, and full of “bug holes” that most lining materials could not be used to successfully reline the half-million gallon subterranean concrete pit. The concrete normally would have required costly and time-consuming re-surfacing prior to relining. Every summer the University filled the pit with more than 100,000 cubic feet of ice and blew air through it to chill their A.C. air and drastically reduce their electricity bill.
The Solution: With summer fast approaching, Goodwest was contacted to utilize the ECOSYSTEM® expansion technology for this project. This system involves injecting an inert gas into elastomeric polyurethane to “expand” the polyurethane film and create a light-weight, very thick lining material that can easily form a pinhole-free surface over extremely uneven surfaces. Just before the summer heat picked up, Goodwest successfully relined the pit and the University didn’t have to pay more of those exorbitant summer electricity rates.
ECOSYSTEM expansion technology is one of a wide variety of corrosion protection solutions that Goodwest provides for facilities throughout the west. Goodwest inspects and analyzes challenging corrosion problems, engineers unique long term solutions, and provides turnkey installation services. Large operations across the full spectrum of industries have utilized Goodwest for decades to ensure their equipment stays in service for as long as possible without problems.
