Port Kembla NSW – December 2019
– The Cringila station’s pedestrian overpass required de-painting of the lead based coatings
– Due to the short rail shut down requirements and access times traditional erection of scaffold and containment for sandblasting was not economical or practical
– PLC was engaged to undertake the lead paint removal via laser ablation
– Two PLC laser systems worked in unison to remove all the lead based coatings with direct HEPA extraction and capsulation ensuring no airborne particles were realised into the atmosphere
