Proper Preparation For Your Property's Tower Painting Needs

by Claude Medina

One of the hazards of buying property on which a transmission tower of any sort is housed is the fact that you'll eventually have to work with a tower painting crew when they come to inspect, maintain, and potentially repaint the structure. Here's a look at a few things you should know about your property and the tower painting preparation process so that you can be adequately prepared for the process and the potential hazards.

Understand The Tower Inspection Process

Before the tower painting crew can start doing any work, they have to know exactly what work is required. In order to determine that, they must inspect the tower. This involves bringing equipment out to the tower to provide them with access to the tower's entire elevation. You'll have to make sure that the property is clear and safe for this equipment.

The work crew will examine the entire tower to determine if it must be completely repainted or if it can simply be patched up. In the case of repainting, they must also determine if the original paint layers need to be removed or not.

Finally, this inspection also requires making sure that the tower is structurally sound. Any damage, weakness, or other vulnerability must be addressed before the tower is repainted. This ensures long-term structural stability.

Be Prepared For Paint Removal

When the determination is made that repairs must be done or that repainting is required, the existing paint typically needs to be removed first. The paint removal process is involved, and it requires some property preparation.

First and foremost, you should have the existing paint tested for lead. Remember that any paint removal will result in some exposure of that paint to the foliage around the tower, and lead in that paint can be hazardous. 

Take time to cover any and all sensitive foliage in the area, and ask the tower painting crew about laying drop cloths all around the area to protect the ground, the grass, and the foliage from exposure not only to any potential lead paint but also to the general chemical contaminants of the paint itself.

Understand The Paint Removal Process

You'll want to keep children and animals away from the tower area when paint removal happens. It's typically completed through sandblasting, so you will not only have paint particles coming off the tower but also blasting media falling around the immediate vicinity. It's important to protect your children and pets from this exposure.
