Corrosion on steel bridges has long been recognized as a major concern. Over the years, technology has advanced from lead-based paints used for a century to three-coat systems. Recently, two-coat systems have been developed and are gaining acceptance. Research which is now underway to develop a one-coat system is described in this paper.
The goal of this presentation is to highlight the teamwork exhibited by a quality driven facility owner who led an outsourced contract team consisting of pre-qualified contractors, material suppliers, and certified technical service specialists as independent third-party inspectors, to provide external protective coatings to a set of six spherical tanks encompassing approximately 100,000 s.f. each.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) spends over $50 million in steel bridge fabrication and shop painting annually. According to a recent Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sponsored study by Appleman, approximately 7% of the cost of a steel bridge is budgeted for blast cleaning and primer application in most shops. FDOT knows that proper surface preparation and primer application are the best ways to assure long-term corrosion protection.
The objective of this study was to examine the effects of an ultra-high pressure (UHP) waterjetting surface preparation (>25,000 psi) on the performance properties of select marine/offshore coating epoxy systems. Uncoated steel panels had been allowed to rust in an outdoor atmospheric environment and then were subjected to UHP waterjetting
