Commercial / Industrial Lead Abatement

Removing lead / PCB paint with a vacuum shrouded water jet. Yankee technicians, at left, applying new epoxy coating system. If sandblasting, complex containment would be required and sandblasting and coating could not occur simultaneously. The blast water was filtered and recycled resulting in the recovery of just the lead paint vs. hundreds of thousands of pounds of lead contaminated blast media.
