Andy Norman, Engineer, Hampshire County Council
Rhinoceros ICATS trained operatives completed the stripping and repainting of bridge parapets on 9 bridges across the county. All previous coatings were removed by hand and vacuum assisted tools without blast cleaning and without contamination of the rivers and environment.
Five coats of International Interseal 670 and Interthane 990 paints were applied by brush, HA items 115,116 and 168. Final dft readings were 350-400 microns, ensuring a long life for these coatings. The works has been completed within budget and ahead of schedule. The paint inspector and client, (HCC) are very pleased with the high standard of workmanship achieved.
Hampshire County Council awarded this contract to Rhinoceros Ltd as a result of the excellent work we carried out last year on 12 bridges with which they were extremely pleased.
