Commercial Case Study: School Painting Project In Minersville, PA

This commercial case study showcases CertaPro Painters® of Lancaster’s expertise in high-rise painting. They tackled the challenging task of revitalizing six 80-ft stadium light poles at a school in Minersville, PA. The project, completed in 6 days, involved extensive surface preparation to address rust and peeling paint on both the poles and concrete bases. Using specialized equipment like a 120′ lift and sprayers, the team safely navigated the height and awkward positioning of the poles to deliver a flawless finish that matched the school colors. This project highlights their ability to handle complex commercial projects with efficiency and precision.

About the Project:

Project Involvement: 

The project took place at a school’s athletic stadium in Minersville, PA. The facility included a stadium with six light poles, each over 80 feet tall, requiring a 120′ lift for access. These poles, with attached concrete bases and safety railings, were integral to illuminating the field for sporting events and likely other school activities held in the stadium.

At the project’s outset, both the steel light poles and the concrete bases were in poor condition, exhibiting significant rust and peeling paint. This deterioration not only detracted from the stadium’s aesthetics but also potentially compromised the structural integrity of the poles and railings.

Special Challenges: 

The crew tackled extensive surface preparation, including scraping and sanding away old paint and rust from the towering poles, attached utility boxes, concrete bases, and metal safety railings. This meticulous work ensured a smooth and clean surface for the new paint to adhere to. After thorough preparation, a full primer coat was applied to all surfaces, followed by painting them blue to match the school’s colors. The height of the poles necessitated the use of sprayers for efficient and even paint application.
