Rhinoceros started work today on two bridges for Hampshire County Council.
These bridges, are Friarsgate in Winchester and New Wharf Bridge in Aldershot.
All of the previous coatings will be removed using vacuum assisted tools to prevent any contamination of the rivers and environment. The coating system used is to HA specification comprising items 115, 116 and 168. The paint manufactuer is International Paints Ltd. The contract is for the complete stripping, surface preparation and repainting of parapets at 9 bridges or subways throughout Hampshire. Hampshire County Council awarded this contract to Rhinoceros Ltd as a result of the excellent work we carried out last year on 12 bridges with which HCC were extremely pleased. The works will be completed by the end of August 2010.
