Vulcan Painters had six crew members working on this
project, which came through the general contractor, Auburn,
A labama-based J.A. Lett.
"It's a public university, so they put the job out to bid, and
J.A. Lett got the bid," Pigue said. "We've done some work with
Auburn in the past and with the University of A labama." He said
all of his interactions with both schools have been positive.
For this job, the Vulcan Painters crew needed to lend their
expertise to two Auburn University swimming pools, a competi-
tion pool that measured 22,400 square feet (2,081.0 m²) and an
instructional pool that measured 8,400 square feet (780.4 m²).
e two pools needed new concrete coatings, Pigue said.
University Swimming Pools
Until the pools were drained, the crew couldn't know the entire scope of
the project. They found a crack and bubbling on the instructional pool.
The crew worked on the instructional pool during the fall semester of
the school year, which mean that they needed to use containment to
keep the blasting media and paint from affecting the public.
