With risk of environmental contamination and health and safety, Sponge-Jet successfully helped remediate failing lead paint on the exterior of Toa Baja water tank with a public library and school on one side and a church on the other.
Severe pipe coating failure in the digester building. Sponge-Jet removed failed top-coat and coal tar base with no shut down permitted and 24/7 operation; NACE quality assurance inspector approved, with more work to follow.
Sponge-Jet was used on exterior water pipes to remove failed coating system and was uniquely qualified where the pipe network had sensitive meters and gauges; concern with grit intrusion was expressed and remained a nonissue. One engineer responded, "moving forward LUS has mandated that contractors use Sponge-Jet for upcoming... projects."
Sponge-Jet is commonly used for lead paint abatement and while doing so, it helps better contain dust. Four Silver Star Painting stripped 200,000 ft² of toxic lead paint during the day - and without shutting down operations.
