Hello Marianne, I don't have specific answers to
your question, but did want to share problems with bridge maintenance that have
occurred in Contractor Fined $148,700 For Exposing Workers to Lead During Bridge
Repair http://www.sspc.org/regnews/penaltybox/WA803.html
How to
Avoid Lead Poisoning in Bridge Repair Work: A Fact Sheet for Bridge Workers While doing the Google search to find
these items above, another relevant page turned up: Bridge Lead Paint Removal Bibliography

Marianne [mailto:FITZGERALD.Marianne@deq.state.or.us] The Oregon Dept. of Environmental Quality is working with
the Oregon Dept. of Transportation on a major effort to replace over 350
bridges on our state highways over the next ten years. Do any of you have case studies or other guidelines
regarding best practices for bridge construction or road construction?
Much of ODOT's effort is focused on waste reduction, but I recall there has
been some research on alternative paints and coatings and other practices. We
are also encouraging diesel emission reductions related to construction
equipment. I've already checked P2Rx and the NC P2Pays websites for
information, and have some information from CT DOT's I-95 project. Thanks for your help! Marianne Fitzgerald Air Quality Division Phone (503) 229-5946 Fax (503) 229-5675 email fitzgerald.marianne@deq.state.or.us |
