Inspection of the polyurea on the San Mateo Bridge

Inspection of the polyurea on the San Mateo Bridge
Available for download

The San Mateo Bridge represents the largest application of thick film coatings for protection of a concrete highway bridge in the US to date. This challenging project was undertaken in order to provide a aggressive extension to the expected service life of the new concrete components of the widened bridge. This report provides a brief summary of the coating application process during construction followed by a report of a recent visual inspection performed at the five-year point in service.

The San Mateo Bridge represents the largest application of thick film coatings for protection of a concrete highway bridge in the US to date. This challenging project was undertaken in order to provide a aggressive extension to the expected service life of the new concrete components of the widened bridge. This report provides a brief summary of the coating application process during construction followed by a report of a recent visual inspection performed at the five-year point in service. Much of the following details the key problems and issues associated with performing a coating project of this scale under the demanding conditions and pressure of a construction schedule. Overall, the project is considered to be a success by Caltrans at this point as the number and extent of failures are considered manageable and explainable based on specific issues discovered during initial application.

Plant maintenance engineers continually search for new and improved ways of providing corrosion protection in their highly demanding environments. Structural steel is used throughout various applications including pipe racks, building components (beam and column configurations), reactor platforms, and signage, etc. Coatings systems have traditionally been the choice of providing corrosion protection for both steel and concrete substrate.

(Inspection) Coating Condition Assessments: The First Step in Fighting Corrosion on Aboveground Sto

Product Number: 53-COAT_DEC21
Author: Adam G. Beers / Lake H. Barrett, Jr.
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

Being proactive and performing scheduled coating condition assessments on above ground storage tanks to prevent corrosion is of utmost importance to protect assets. Undetected corrosion can result in product contamination, section loss, create compliance issues resulting in fines levied by governmental agencies, and increase costs of asset replacement. Planned and detailed coating/lining condition assessments can help a tank owner realize the current condition of their assets and maximize life expectancy.
