Removal of Lead-based Coatings

Removal of Lead-based Coatings

We have robust procedures in place to allow us to safely remove existing lead-based coatings in compliance with the CLAW regulations. 

Q.E.II bridge (M25 Dartford Crossing)

Not only did we undertake the original site painting works when the bridge was originally constructed (one of the company’s largest projects) but we were also invited back to site over 20 years later to conduct the first major coating maintenance cycle.  The latter project involved the design and installation of a bespoke cradle system to enable access to the high level pylons.

London Eye

In 2003 we secured the prestigious contract to paint the entire British Airways London Eye structure including the wheelrim, hub and spindle, the A-frame legs, boarding platforms and tidal riverside prows, piling, pontoons and dolphins.  The coating system included use of a then new polysiloxane topcoat.  Access methods included a combination of MEWP (including importing a 90m truck mounted vehicle from Europe) rope access and use of a jackleg barge with access and rescue craft.  We have subsequently returned to site several times to undertake further projects including the rebranding of the wheelrim motor housings

Rye Marker Beacon

This structure could only be accessed during low tides and involved rope-access working - 2019

Kingston Rail Bridge

Abrasive blast cleaning and application of a NR M21 paint system to a five span bridge crossing the Thames in a highly residential area.  Track side surfaces received a modified M34 system during blockades. The existing coatings contained lead up to 15% by volume in some areas and we provided the appropriate extraction, recovery, decontamination and monitoring equipment to undertake the works.

Gas Pipe-Crossings

As part of an ongoing framework agreement, we have undertaken numerous Gas Pipe-Crossings across the Southern, East Anglian and Midlands regions. Works involved abrasive blast cleaning and application of a PA10 Epoxy paint system together with MCL coatings or cold applied laminate tape. To facilitate the works, we obtain all the appropriate easements and permits and secure all required canal and road closures. We provided the scaffold access and shrink wrapped containment and (where required) traffic managements. We also supplied and installed new anti-vandal guards.

Brentford Bridge
