The coatings at Pump Station PS5 and the Primary Sludge Pump Station at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) have outlived their useful life and are in need of recoating. Refer to the attached photos for examples of coating failures at the above referenced sites.
Project Description
The Pump Station PS5 & WWTP Primary Sludge Pump Station Maintenance Coating Project includes painting of the interiors and equipment of both pumping stations. Incorporated in this work is the coating of walls, floors, stairs, pipes, pumps, and other appurtenances; and the appropriate preparatory work to get the surfaces primed for coating.
