Paint Spill

          Removing Paint From A Driveway

Situation Analysis

A delivery of 25 litre cans of paint arrived for this client's neighbour. Unfortunately the driver reversed into the wrong drive. Even more unfortunately the back doors of his van were not properly secured. One of the cans fell out of the back of the van while reversing down the steep driveway. This pushed-in the garage door, spilling paint both inside and outside the garage.

Objectives

Remove the paint and over-come the clients anxiety that this was not possible.

Considerations

Waste Disposal

Because the absorbant granules were mixed with paint during the cleaning operation, controlled disposal was required in line with current disposal regulations.

Implementation

  • Firstly we used absorbant granules to remove the bulk waste.
  • Other paint removal compounds were used to remove the residue.
  • The final step was to pressure wash the driveway and garage floor.

Results

The driveway now "looked better than before the incident". The client was very happy and the workmen could come the following day to fit the new garage door.
