Dealing With Lead
The last 10 years has been a learning period for Conrad Painting in dealing with lead coatings that were applied during the middle of the past century. The Lead coatings that were used did provide a very good coating system, However, the lasting effects of the coatings has been very detrimental to our enviorment and our health. There have been many advances in the removal and the encapsulation of the old coating systems in the last 10 years. The regulations for dealing with the removed lead are continually being updated and are continually becoming more strict. For this reason it remains a commitment of Conrad Painting to keep up with the new technology and procedures associated with dealing with Lead.
LEAD ENCAPSULATION
POINT EDWARD CASINO, Point Edward, Ontario
This project included the encapsulation of the existing paint system on the structural steel throughout the entire building. The encapsulation system included the removal of loose and peeling paint and rust by scraping and vacuuming with vacuums equipped with HEPA filters. The failing areas were then spot primed by brush and roller, followed by priming of the entire surface and then a finish coat was applied.
WHITNEY BLOCK PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS, Toronto, Ontario
This project involved the removal of lead paint from all existing plaster walls and ceilings through the top ten floors of the existing building. The removal was completed by sandblasting.
SAUGEEN RIVER BRIDGE, Southampton, Ontario
This was a complete lead removal of the existing paint system on the bridge steel. We provided the removal, enclosures, and negative air dust collection required to protect against the escape of lead dust into the atmosphere. We were then responsible for the transportation and disposal of final spent material under the Registerable Hazardous Material conditions.
REGION OF YORK WATER TOWER, Newmarket, Ontario
This project included the complete lead removal of the existing paint system from the exterior of the tank. We provided the removal, enclosures and negative air dust collection required to protect against the escape of lead dust into the environment. We were then responsible for the transportation and final disposal of the contaminated spent material under the Registerable Non Hazardous Material conditions.
