- Summary:
- All steel bridge systems and their components need some level of corrosion protection to assure a serviceable life. One of two approaches is typically used: either the bridge component is fabricated from a corrosion-resistant alloy, or the steel is coated for protection. The most common coating practice is use of a multilayered paint system over a zinc-rich primer. Other coating alternatives for corrosion protection are hot-dip zinc galvanization and thermal spray coatings (TSC). Both galvanization and TSCs offer better long-term corrosion protection than zinc-bearing paint systems in severe environments. For this reason, these alternative-coating systems need to be mainstreamed for the protection of steel bridges.
