The steel will be abrasive blast-cleaned to SSPC-SP 10 (near white), spot-power-tool-cleaned to SP 15 and recoated with an organic zinc-rich primer, an epoxy intermediate and a polyurethane finish.
The existing coatings contain lead; Class 1A and 3P containment according to SSPC-Guide 6 are required.
The project also includes coating interior arch surfaces with an epoxy-mastic coating system and applying 864 square yards of protective coating to concrete.
Coatings Inspection
Separately, Greenhorne & O’Mara has been selected to provide coatings inspection, quality assurance and documentation services on the project, which is expected to last 13 months.
The bridge is named for a former West Virginia governor and congressman, best remembered for his improvements to the state's highway system
