Estimating Paint Removal Waste
(OP)
I working on the rehabilitation of a mile long steel viaduct. About 25% of the structure will be blast cleaned to bare metal and painted.
The pay item for disposal of paint removal waste is paid in pounds, which includes the material used to remove the paint except water. What's a good estimate in pounds/SF assuming non-recycled abrasive blast cleaning? The spec for disposal doesn't make any distinction between recycled and non-recycled materials for removal. I want to be conservative an go worst case.
Thanks

I don't have any good numbers for you - we use nearly 100% recycled media.
If the viaduct is lead paint, recycled would be by far the most common way to go.
