June was another banner month for Thomas Industrial Coatings. With the Huey P. Long bridge widening project just finished, we’re showing no signs of slowing down as we move on to the New Mississippi River Bridge being built in our hometown of St. Louis.
Since 2008, Thomas Industrial Coatings has had the privilege of being a part of the Huey P. Long bridge widening project. Now that project is beginning to wind down, and soon the men and women of our NOLA crew will have finished their job.
While the work we do is fulfilling enough, we here at Thomas Industrial Coatings like a little praise every once in a while. Who doesn’t? So we were plenty pleased to find that Metro had decided to shine a spotlight on the work we’re doing preparing the Eads Bridge for its new coat of paint…
And we’re proud to say that we got an invite to the launch party. The event marked a kickoff of the revitalization of a landmark that bridges Missouri and Illinois. As we detailed in this article, we’ll be working in tandem with the St. Louis Bridge Construction Co. to complete the overhaul of this historic bridge.
For the second time in less than a week, GPS North America’s technology saved us a lot of money. This time, it was in the Greater St. Louis Area and the trailer was being used by a group of Thomas Industrial Coating bridge painters.
The Eads Bridge was dedicated on July 4, 1874. 138 years later, we at Thomas Industrial Coatings, have been hired to give the bridge its first fresh coat of paint since the bridge was built.
Thomas Industrial Coatings has the privilege to be part of engineering history, serving as the industrial coatings subcontractor for the Huey P. Long Bridge expansion in Jefferson, Louisiana.
