Though we have almost two decades of shrink-wrapping experience, Atlantic Shrink Wrapping, Inc. still finds new projects we get excited about. Whether it’s something we’ve never provided shrink wrap services for before or just something out of the ordinary, we want to highlight some of our favorite projects.
Shrink Wrap as Art
One of the most unique projects we’ve been a part of is shrink-wrapping a New York City storefront. An old Brooklyn storefront was shrink-wrapped to create a blank canvas that stood out from the rest of the street corner. It was then integrated into the rest of the landscape as local graffiti artists made their mark on it. While shrink wrap is usually considered an industrial necessity, it can also be used in other unique ways.
Shrink Wrapping for the Coast Guard
When you think of boat shrink wrapping, it’s usually smaller boats that are owned by residents to take to the river or sea for fishing over the summer. Shrink wrapping services keep the boats safe and stored for the winter. However, with this Coast Guard project, Atlantic Shrink Wrapping took on a much different form: shrink-wrapping a boat.
A controlled environment was required for a ship to be waterblasted and painted during the winter months. We assisted a local contractor with the construction of custom scaffolding around the ship to allow us to shrink-wrap the area. Shrink-wrapping covered the entire scaffolding to create a completely enclosed building in which this work could be done over six weeks.
A Nuclear Power Station
At a Virginia nuclear power station, contaminated equipment needed to be shrink-wrapped for safe storage in an open yard. Roof peaks were built over the equipment to ensure that no water collected on top of the shrink wrap. We also created a sealed cover for the equipment, ensuring it was properly protected.
