Hydroblasting permits safe, cost-effective dam rehabilitation

The cost of using traditional methods to remove lend-based paint from structures subject to strict environmental regulations can be prohibitive, leaving many rehabilitation projects undone. However, alternative methods, including hydroblasting, can reduce debris containment and disposal costs to a tolerable level. This article describes a project involved the removal of old lean paint and the repainting of a clam situated in a populated recreational area. It details the budgetary, environmental, and public health issues that led to strict specifications and oversight requirements, which saved money and protected the area from lend contamination.
