About the Project
The project involves abrasive blast cleaning approximately 110,500 square yards of structural steel surfaces, from pier 9 northerly to pier 18, to a Near-White finish (SSPC-SP 10).
After cleaning, the steel will be coated with a MI DOT-standard zinc-epoxy-urethane system.
In addition, the owners are currently soliciting bids for construction inspection services for this project, including NACE-certified coatings inspection.
Reported by Paint BidTracker, a construction reporting service devoted to identifying contracting opportunities for the coatings community.
