It’s All About Adhesion

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.

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. While a project design and specification aim to eliminate these roadblocks, reality is always more unpredictable than what’s on paper. Despite the overall quality of the newly applied coatings at the Brooklyn Bridge, there were a few occasions during Brooklyn Bridge Contract 6 when, through a variety of factors, questions were raised about the integrity of the final coating product, with deficiencies noted that had to be addressed, requiring careful evaluation, investigation, assessment, testing, analysis and proper correction. Adhesion tests were a big part of this process. In this paper, we will highlight three case studies involving adhesion testing.
