In 2024, Walco Industries Ltd. undertook a lead paint removal project on a black class light icebreaker vessel at a client’s dry dock, using ultra-high-pressure water jetting at 40,000 PSI. The project included the safe removal of lead paint from multiple decks, including the funnel, bridge, and handrails, while ensuring strict adherence to safety protocols. Lead exposure management was prioritized, with employees equipped with full-face masks, Tychem suits, and undergoing rigorous training and daily safety audits. The project was completed on time, within budget, and with no incidents, underscoring Walco’s commitment to safety and efficiency in industrial cleaning.
