Buildings 500 and 600 were being upgraded. We primed and painted all associated downpipes, steel members, and gas pipes were painted yellow. The steel members needed a lot of grinding, sanding, and overall love. The downpipes and gas pipes were finished by setting up a spray area at the school.

How we did it

  1. Grind, sand and prep the steel

    The steel members needed a lot of grinding and sanding before any coating went on.

  2. Prime and paint the steel members

    The prepared steel members were primed and painted, along with the other exposed metalwork not prefinished.

  3. Set up a spray area for the pipes

    The downpipe hanger assemblies and gas pipes were prepped and finished in a spray area set up at the school, with the downpipe hangers painted to match the prefinished metal.

  4. Paint the gas pipes yellow

    The gas pipes and their components were prepped and painted yellow per the paint specification.

  5. Paint the pull box and plaster wall

    The new exterior pull box was painted to match the building, and the existing cement plaster wall and drip screed were primed with a masonry bonding primer and painted.
