Performance Profile: Kalahari Resort Waterslides

Problem:  

Kalahari needed to refinish 2 waterslides that had worn gelcoat surfaces. The resort is open 365 days a year, so repair and recoating time was short.

Employees were to be used to do the work

Solution:

Prep work was done at night for 3 weeks prior to the 4 day shut-down

Slides were cleaned and wiped down after additional sanding was performed

Mixing stations were set up at the base of the slides, coating mixed and taken up slides to paint crews who started at the top of the slides and worked down

Slides were rolled, not sprayed due to overspray issues

Result:

Paint crews were able to complete coating within timetable given to allow cure time prior to reopening of the water park
