Project Challenge:

• The structure is exposed to high UV levels, heavy rainfall, and coastal conditions.
• Long-term durability and colour retention were critical due to its prominence and visibility.
• Minimal maintenance downtime was required to avoid disruption to operations.
• Surfaces included both steel and concrete with varying preparation requirements.

Project Execution:

• Surface preparation and cleaning were performed prior to coating
  application.
• Vitreset 419 applied as a surface-tolerant base coat to all steel and
  concrete surfaces.
• Vitreflon 790 applied as a high-build topcoat, achieving uniform coverage,
  exceptional gloss, and UV stability.
• The coatings were applied to meet strict aesthetic and performance
  standards, ensuring protection in a challenging tropical environment.

Results & Benefits:

• Long-lasting protection for steel and concrete substrates
• Excellent UV, colour, and gloss retention, even in harsh tropical conditions
• Reduced maintenance frequency and costs, extending the asset lifecycle
• Enhanced aesthetic appeal, maintaining the landmark’s iconic appearance
• Trusted solution for specifiers and engineers, demonstrating FEVE technology performance

Outcome:

The refurbishment of the Singapore Flyer highlights the importance of selecting the right coating system for long-term performance, durability, and aesthetics. A&I Coatings’ Vitreset 419 + Vitreflon 790 combination ensures
world-class protection, reduces maintenance, and preserves the visual integrity of one of Singapore’s most famous landmarks.
