Army Corps of Engineers Bids Fort Peck Dam Coatings Work

摘要

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Omaha District, is accepting sealed bids in early May for weld repairs and coatings application on sixteen 40-foot long spillway stop logs and a lifting beam at Fort Peck Dam on the Missouri River in Montana. The dam was constructed during the 1930s as an effort of the New Deal, a series of federal stimulus programs that created jobs during the Great Depression. The project, which requires SSPC-QP 1 and QP 2 certification for the surface preparation and coatings application, includes containment of the existing lead-bearing coatings using a Class 3 containment system (SSPC-Guide 6). The steel stop logs and lifting beams will be abrasive blast-cleaned to a White Metal finish (SSPC-SP 5) and coated with a zinc-epoxy-polyurethane system.
