Sparky, I am not sure what you mean by non traditional but here is a partial list of projects that I have personally sprayed. Poultry sheds, pig farms, alligator farms, refinery tanks, pipes and refracting towers, exterior decorative sculptures (such as sharks, octopi,large fish, etc), filling in cave entrances, domes, ice holds in ships and fishing boats, flotation bouys, masts of ships (for structural strength), floating docks, cryogneic buildings (extreme cold storge, minus 60 degrees F), crawl spaces of commercial buildings, picture framing metal buildings to keep the roof and walls from blowing away during storms, mine shaft entrances & tunnels, structural support for fighter jets, shock absorption in mine fields for tanks, portable blow up buildings in remote areas, cold storage facilities, processing plants, and warehouses. Hope that helps |

Sparky, We just picked up our first two unusual jobs: 54 benches for prisons and 7 buoys for the New York State Power Authority - to be used for the ice boom in Lake Erie which stops ice from flowing into the Niagara River and clogging the hydro power inlets. Hopefully many more of these unusual jobs will follow!!! |
