4. Case Study: Traffic Management Plans

Another service offered by Commercial Industrial Painting Service is the design and facilitation of Traffic Management Plans.

A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is vital for ensuring the safety of staff and visitors. In providing a safe work place employers must separate pedestrian traffic from machinery, forklifts, trucks & other vehicles.

The central elements of a good TMP are identification of:
• No-go or exclusion zones.
• Pedestrian walkways & crossings.
• Shared zones.
• Dedicated parking areas.
• Dedicated storage areas

CIPS can assist in designing and installing your TMP and will help you select the best methods, such as;
• Line marking.
• Epoxy coatings.
• Non Slip treatments.
• Signage.
• Colour coding.

Please contact Commercial Industrial Painting Services for further information.

George Street's bridge for future generations

The situation

A major undertaking of the Revitalising Central Dandenong project was the construction of the $29 million George Street bridge over the railway lines near Dandenong train station.

At 240 metres long and more than six metres tall, the 4000m2 concrete bridge was constructed in the tight space between two major roads, the busy rail line, a bus depot and the Dandenong town centre.

The challenges

Once constructed, the challenge was to meet the exacting government requirements for the protective surface work on the bridge, including:

• the ability to withstand all weather extremes,
• the grime from heavy vehicle usage and the carbon emissions from trains passing underneath it every day,
• mitigating the damaging carbonation that occurs when concrete is exposed to water, and
• ensuring that anti-graffiti and anti-carbonation coatings are applied to standard prescribed surface thickness.

Two additional complications were the construction of the bridge in a grid pattern making the traditional roller/brush application techniques ineffective; and its location in a busy precinct making overspray a major concern.

Commercial Industrial Painting Services (CIPS) responds to the challenge

Upon appointment, CIPS consulted extensively with their trusted suppliers to find the coating that would provide the best quality for the best price, and conform to government requirements. As one of only 56 organisations Australia-wide to have Protective Coating Certification Program (PCCP) accreditation level 3 and 4 from the CSIRO, and a member of the Australasian Corrosion Association, CIPS also has fully qualified staff with both 'rail track awareness' and 'elevated work platforms' qualifications.

When combined more than 25 years experience in commercial and industrial painting and surface work, and great relationships with suppliers, CIPS understood that the job required specific coatings and a professional exacting application. CIPS used three staff to get the job done over a three month period. This meant two painters would apply the coating using a spraying technique while a third person, the spotter, would monitor changing weather and wind patterns to avoid overspray which may cause damage to nearby property.

Choosing the right days and times to work was a critical component to finishing the job to the highest aesthetic and practical levels and staying onbudget.

The outcome

The bridge was completed in August 2010 and will not need further work for a minimum of 15 years. It is free from runs and colour variations or gloss variations and from all angles it has a consistent surface shine.
