PROJECT INFORMATION


Contract: Gold Star Memorial Bridge

Competent Person: George Lyras

Kiewit Project


Jag'd Construction  Inc. was contracted by Kiewit Infrastructure to perform cleaning and coating of pipes as part of a larger infrastructure project. The work involved confined space entry, requiring strict compliance with safety and ventilation protocols. By following proper procedures and using high-quality materials, Jag'd Construction Inc. delivered a safe, durable, and professional finish under challenging conditions.

Jag'd Construction Inc. embarked on an extensive blast and paint project that encompassed the entire bridge. The scope required stripping existing coatings down to bare steel, addressing decades of wear, and applying advanced protective systems across every structural component. The work was performed on-site under demanding conditions—coordinating with multiple trades, strict construction schedules, and extreme weather challenges. Operating over active waterways and within heavily travelled corridors demanded disciplined planning and execution. Our crews leveraged precision, adaptability, and a strong understanding of access-driven operations to safely integrate access, surface preparation, and coating applications into a streamlined process.

This project was distinguished by its length and complexity: it required months of continuous work and the implementation of large-scale containment systems to control
blasting media and protect the surrounding environment. Despite the complexity, Jag'd Construction maintained schedule and quality, exemplifying our results‑driven approach and commitment to safety.

The project garnered public attention, with local news coverage highlighting our meticulous blasting and
painting operations. The news segment showcased our team’s dedication to environmental stewardship and spotlighted the skilled labor and logistics required to revitalize such an important piece of infrastructure. This recognition underscores the significance of the project and Jag'd Construction's leadership in the industry.
