Description of works
Project
required undertaking the work during planned track possession with continuous
round the clock operation to strict EPA constraints. The close proximity
of the bridge structures to retail and residential areas made the planning
and management of dust collection critical.
Bridges were scaffolded by conventional or suspended scaffold and encapsulated using specially selected reinforced translucent and flame retardant material.
The work required expertise in lead abatement and with particular attention to public relations, environmental and OHS&R issues.
The abrasive blasting was undertaken under a negative pressure environment
created by high powered and efficient dust collection equipment.
