Winter Park Pipeline

Coblaco Services is working with Garney Construction on a pipeline in Winter Park, Colorado. The project, which is for Denver Water, includes blasting the interior of 36” pipe, then applying SherPlate to protect the steel.

One of the most difficult parts of the job early on was blasting through a section of coal tar near the bottom of the pipe, due to the thickness of the tar, and the danger of how quickly a blaster’s skin could be irritated, even while wearing proper PPE. The sharp incline in the pipe, since it is on a mountainside, is also proving to be challenging for removing media and moving around the blast hoses.  Coblaco’s crews are well trained, though, and have plenty of experience working in pipes such as this, which should result in a great finished product!
