Painting Towers In The Wilderness

 Painting Towers In Alaska

We had the amazing opportunity to spend 2 months in Kodiak Alaska during the Fall of 2020 painting a Loran tower for the United States Coast Guard.   The work consisted of removing lead-based loose and flaking paint with HEPA vacuums while recoating the entire tower with a product called Rust Grip.  The tower went from aviation orange to silver within 3 weeks after prep work.

What's not to love about spending time in Alaska?  On the off days, the crew went deep sea fishing in the Pacific, flying floatplanes to Katmai National Park, and lots of site seeing.  The Kodiak Island bears are big and abundant and everywhere you turn.  We saw the bears almost every day leaving the house for the job site, what a wild adventure we had in Kodiak Alaska.

Tower Painting

Recently one of our crews was in sunny southern California painting communication towers.  Towers are one of the hardest structures to paint thoroughly because of all the corners, crevices, and bolts.  You have to be sure to apply all the paint to all the surfaces to the manufactures specifications all the while dealing with the weather.  We do this by taking our time and thoroughly preparing and applying the coatings then we spend many hours or even days doing touch-ups of spots we had missed.  It's not easy, especially with rattlesnakes and condors lurking about the job site but the end results are why our clients keep coming back to us for their tower painting needs.

Tower Painting



Ashland Kentucky
We were just awarded a project to paint the 400' tower for WKAS TV in Ashland Kentucky. At the time of construction it was the tallest tower in the USA. Of course this was several years ago and many towers now reach over 1000'. The photos here are of the tower on Dec 18 2009. Check back in the Spring of 2009 for photos.
