Certified Coating Specialists Awarded $2.2 mil Lead Abatement and Repaint Project in Edmonton Alberta
Certified Coating Specialists Inc. has been awarded the bridge lead abatement and repainting contract for the rehabilitation of the Dawson Bridge in Edmonton Alberta. General contractor USL Concreate opted to award a subcontract to Certified to manage and execute the removal of the existing lead based coating and recoat the structure as per the tender requirements of the City of Edmonton.
Mr. Randy Tilley, CCS project manager states the biggest challenge in repainting this bridge is the design and engineering required to gain access to scaffold and contain the work areas as the bridge was not designed for these types of additional loads. CCS is working closely with Concreate USL and SDF to execute the lead abatement and primer application prior to the structural reinforcement being executed by SDF. This method minimizes the risk of lead exposure to the associated trades. Tilley states further that every bridge presents its own challenges and he has no doubt that the construction team will develop a plan to address the challenges associated with this one.
