This is a general outline of different types of high-performance coatings used for industrial steel structures and maintenance. We will be discussing the different types of coatings and where and when they are to be used, the make-up of these coatings, application methods, advantages/disadvantages, tolerance, and limitations. I was going to discuss the cost range of each but due to the different performance levels that each brand offers it is hard to put cost in perspective without digging into specific brands of coatings.
A continuing problem with coatings applied to sharp edges of a structure is the corrosion that often develops at the apex of the edge. The conventional wisdom is that the reduction of film thickness, due to coating pulling away at the edge during the curing of the coating, is the primary cause for the onset of corrosion. This theory, however, is not necessarily correct, both from a mechanistic and practical point of view.

A long-term project such as the current Brooklyn Bridge Rehabilitation Program, known as Brooklyn Bridge Contract 6, presents a great opportunity to collect vast amounts of data and records relating to the total coating replacement on a historic landmark. On any project, especially one of this scope, the project team has to deal with many obstacles, both expected and unexpected, and significant unknowns.
