About Project

The Carlyle Lake in Bond and Fayette County, Illinois, represents the state’s largest man-made body of water in Illinois at 25,000 acres.

Thomas Industrial Coatings (TIC) worked with the United States Army Corps of Engineers to execute a work plan to renovate the lake built in 1933.

The scope of work for the project included SSPC SP-6 abrasive blasting all steel on the bridges, catwalks, and handrailing and then coating with a vinyl paint system.

The plan also included abrasive blasting and recoating five stop logs, as well as repainting the floor of the operating house.

Each tainter gate’s machinery and platforms were abrasive blasted to an SSPC SP-5 white metal blast and coated with a four-coat vinyl paint system.
