This paper discusses a comparative evaluation of the performance of various types of protective coatings available for the corrosion protection of structural steel components located in marine environments.
Major manufacturers of protective coatings, steel fabricators, painting contractors, galvanizers, and end users, were surveyed to identify surface preparation and coating application costs, coating material costs, typical industrial environments and available generic coatings for use within those environments, and expected coating service lives (practical maintenance time).
Metalizing is not a new technology. It has been in use since the 1930s. Although it has seen limited use in comparison with conventional coatings, this is primarily due to economics. In past years, application rates for metalized coatings have been slow, making the process an expensive alternative to conventional coatings.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) undertook recoating of the superstructure steel components of the SR 292 high-level bridge over the Intracoastal Water Way (ICWW) in Perdido Key, Florida, which carries one lane of traffic in each direction and is the only connection between Perdido Key and the mainland. Due to the significant impact to businesses and the public, including tourists, from any proposed lane closures, FDOT looked for other means to address the deteriorating paint system, provide for a longer service life, and complete the work without any lane closures on the bridge.
