Certified Coating Specialist Inc. has achieved Substantial Performance on the repainting of the Pakan Bridge for Alberta Transportation.
The rehabilitation consisted of removal and recoat of 90,000 sq/ft of the structure over a 61-day period. The removal of the existing lead contaminated coating was accomplished under full lead abatement safety and environmental controls. The successful completion of this particular project, under the tight schedule, was only achievable with the use of CCS’s Quality Control Program and working closely with both Alberta Transportation, CH2M, suppliers and subtrades. The execution entailed erecting an engineered scaffold and hoarding system, surface preparation, coating and some steel work. The coating system employed on this project was the first of its kind in Canada and with the support of the coatings manufacturer this new system was applied with the quality of workmanship CCS clients expect from the largest field coatings company in British Columbia. “The quality exhibited on this project is one that will be a lasting legacy of CCS, safe/professional/quality workmanship” commented Byran Place (President).
Darren Ponte (CSO, Project Manager) said it best “as with every project of CCS, safety is of paramount importance and this project clearly illustrates that a project can be completed under a tight time frame with outstanding quality without compromising the safety of the workers or degradation of the environment”.
Consistent with CCS’s mission statement of “exceeding customers expectations” and upon completion of the final inspection by the Owner, consultant and inspection team, Alberta Transportation’s project consultant commented, “The sentiment expressed was how cooperative you (CCS), your field supervisor and crew members were and how the quality of the project is exceptional.”
Mission Accomplished.
