Containment for blasting and painting water tower

Containment for blasting and painting water tower

Containment for blasting and painting water tower

(OP)
2MG hydropillar style water tank will be blasted and recoated inside and out. Two containment systems have been proposed: the totally enclosed painting environment (TEPE) system with outriggers, rings and curtain, limited to deployment in winds 20mph or lower, and a scaffolding/shrink wrap system good to 50mph that provides 100% weatherproof containment. It is also estimated to be 4 times more expensive than the curtain. (150k v 570k). I am familiar with the curtain, but not the shrinkwrap. Anyone have any experience with it? Could mitigate some risk we have with adjacent structures, or so we are told.

RE: Containment for blasting and painting water tower

I've seen some literature on the shrink wrap, and it looks like a solution in search of a problem.
