About Project

The Huey P. Long bridge widening project located in New Orleans, LA consisted of replacing the existing counter levered road sections with new trusses, as well rehabilitating the approach spans. The scope of work for TIC included washing, SP-10 near-white blasting and applying a three-coat paint system to 300,000 square feet of new approach structural steel.

The project also required an SSPC SP-3 vacuum-shrouded power tool cleaning for lead abatement at locations where the new truss would be connected to the existing truss.

While onsite performing work for the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD), TIC secured a contract with the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad that included cleaning and painting 400,000 square feet of structural steel surfaces of the railroad truss section.
