Decision Driver and Timing

The primary driver for the project was the significant accumulation of dirt that had become a potential health hazard. The knee-deep dirt and bird droppings were not only an operational inconvenience, but threatened to become a more serious problem if not addressed immediately. In addition, the repainting included safety considerations for the facility.

Scope of Work

Manual Removal: Scooping dirt and droppings by hand from the ledges in the semi-enclosed area.
Industrial Power Washing: Utilizing industrial power washing equipment to cleanse the dock, which removed residual contamination and large portions of the failed existing coating.
Repainting for Visibility: Applying fresh, durable paint throughout the area, painting the sprinkler lines in safety red and the support columns/bollards in safety yellow for high visibility and added safety.
Transformative Cleaning: This thorough cleaning not only removed the filth but also rejuvenated the area's appearance.
