Both Bayview’s demolition and abatement crews have effectively performed respective scopes up to this point with a high level of professionalism. It is apparent that your personnel are trained to a level necessary to perform the work with the level of attention to safety and quality that Perini expects from our subcontractors. Special acknowledgement to supervisors Jose Gonzalez and Araceli McCort for their roles is certainly due.
Project Summary
Bayview was selected to perform lead-based paint abatement across the entire exterior of the historic Alcatraz Prison. The prison is undergoing a substantial retrofit, requiring Bayview to fully strip the exterior paint before structural upgrades can begin. In addition to exterior work, Bayview is also conducting selective interior abatement in key areas such as the historic cafeteria, hospital wing, and cellhouses.
This project requires extensive planning and logistics coordination, as all materials must be transported to and from the island via barge. Adding to the complexity, Alcatraz remains open to tourists throughout the duration of the work, requiring strategic scheduling to minimize disruptions.
Every square foot of the prison is considered historically significant, requiring detailed recordkeeping to preserve its integrity. This includes everything from the careful cleaning of historical prisoner clothing to the preservation of bullet-damaged tiles from “The Battle of Alcatraz.”
