ENVELOP Protects Topside Exercise Equipment

Drilling Equipment Covers EAGAN, Minn. (April 23, 2009) - Recently Shield Technologies Corporation answered a call from the U.S. Navy's cruiser USS ANZIO to protect a piece of newly installed exercise equipment for the ship's crew. Because of its size, this equipment had to be installed on the ship's weather decks, making it susceptible to the harsh effects of the ocean environment. Fortunately the ship's Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) chairman was also one of the ANZIO's fire controlmen who was familiar with ENVELOP Protective

Covers from his work with the weapons systems onboard. An e-mail to Shield Technologies was all that was needed to get the custom design process started. Following a visit to the ANZIO by the company's Atlantic Fleet representative to determine the size and location of the equipment, a cover was rapidly designed and produced to protect the entire weight machine. After a quick test-fitting, a finished cover was delivered and installed on the equipment.

Shield Technologies stands ready to assist with custom cover requirements, regardless of where or what the protection needs are.

About ENVELOP® Protective Covers
Envelop Protective Covers are the next generation of environmental and operational covers, replacing ineffective vinyl tarps and corrosion-inhibiting chemicals that contaminate the environment. Envelop covers were originally developed to protect military weapons and other assets from water, salt, humidity, sand and other sources of environmental degradation. Validated in the Navy's ocean-going environment, Envelop covers have proven to dramatically reduce maintenance time for military assets, and they are the only soft covers approved by the U.S. Navy for topside weapons and equipment. More than 14,000 Envelop covers are now used by the U.S. Navy, U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, and allied navies. They are also available for consumer and industrial applications such as oil and gas machinery, commercial shipping, amusement parks, airplanes, gun cases and cruise ships.
