Published April 28, 2017

CONCORD, Mass. A project to paint the Old Route 132 Bridge at the Union Village Dam in East Thetford, Vermont, will be completed under the terms of a $212,171.00 contract recently awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District.

 

Work will be accomplished by Coatings Unlimited, Inc. of Bridgeton, Missouri. The contract was awarded on Feb.8, 2017. Once the notice to proceed is issued the work will be authorized to start. The project is anticipated to take approximately one month to complete and be accomplished in 2017.

 

Work components of this project include: complete a maintenance brush-off blast of all steel members of the bridge, including the deck grating; apply a stripe coat of micaceous iron oxide reinforced zinc-rich moisture-cure polyurethane paint; and apply two top coats of micaceous iron oxide reinforced zinc-rich moisture-cure polyurethane, with aluminum, paint.

 

The project will be managed by the Corps of Engineers and all work will be accomplished under the supervision of a Corps’ Quality Assurance Representative to assure compliance with contract requirements.

 

Union Village Dam, a dry-bed reservoir project on the Ompompanoosuc River in Thetford, is a 1,100‑foot‑long, 170‑foot‑high earthen structure capable of storing 12.3 billion gallons of water in a 740‑acre lake. Construction on the $4.1 million dam was completed in 1950, and since that time the facility has prevented damages of more than $58.8 million. More than 41,000 visitors annually enjoy picnicking, swimming, hiking, fishing, hunting and snowmobiling available on Union Village’s 991 acres of land and water.
