Over the past 10 months, the painters of District Council 88/Local Union 130 (Houston) worked together to complete the interior and exterior of the new International Union of Operating Engineers training facility in Crosby, Texas. This facility will function as the IUOE’s primary training campus and conference center. LU 130 assembled a crew of over 20 painters to work 65 hours a week in order to complete the project as soon as possible. Working diligently as a team, the crew painted 450 tons of steel, primed and painted 340 rooms, painted exterior steel with industrial coatings, and installed vinyl wall covering in the dorm bathrooms.
