In some quarters of society there is a public outcry regarding the significant corrosion, coatings deterioration and safety concerns associated with North American bridges. Against this backdrop, this paper describes the application more than 20 years ago of an innovative coating system for the rehabilitation and lead abatement of a major truss bridge superstructure in Alberta, Canada.
In some quarters of society there is a public outcry regarding the significant corrosion, coatings deterioration and safety concerns associated with North American bridges. Against this backdrop, this paper describes the application more than 20 years ago of an innovative coating system for the rehabilitation and lead abatement of a major truss bridge superstructure in Alberta, Canada. Two decades ago, a one coat HRCSA (high ratio calcium sulfonate alkyd) coating system was deemed best in-test for the superstructure and crevice corroded joints of the landmark High Level Bridge. The high performance coating was subsequently applied under the direction, and inspection, of one of the authors (GH) in 1995, as he was the owners representative during the evaluation and construction phases. Outlining the current inspection findings of the coating system on the bridge, details are provided not only as to the current coating system condition, but the specific chemistry of HRCSA technology that indicated years ago that it should have been, and indeed has since proven to be, “The Answer” for many bridge rehabilitation coatings projects and “The Answer” today for what some describe today as a “National Scandal”.

The Brooklyn Bridge is a daily transportation lifeline for more than 200,000 people. It is one of the oldest and most recognizable bridges in the US and was the longest suspension bridge in the world when it opened in 1883. The Bridge has been designated both a National and New York City Landmark.
This paper identifies the unique steps taken to safely remove lead-based paint from a major highway/commuter railroad bridge connecting Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with Camden, New Jersey, followed by the application of a new long lasting protective coating system. The paper addresses project phasing by the owner and coordination with the commuter train to keep costs down and to minimize inconvenience to the public.
