Spot Painting as a Bridge Preservation Tool

Spot Painting as a Bridge Preservation Tool
Available for download

One of the, if not the most, vexing problems for bridge maintenance personnel is the deterioration of bridge components below leaking joints. The joints may be open or closed, construction or expansion, but all seemingly leak shortly after construction or resealing. The bridge components affected by the leaking joints may be steel or concrete, but the end result is the same, deterioration.

One of the, if not the most, vexing problems for bridge maintenance personnel is the deterioration of bridge components below leaking joints. The joints may be open or closed, construction or expansion, but all seemingly leak shortly after construction or resealing. The bridge components affected by the leaking joints may be steel or concrete, but the end result is the same, deterioration. Due to the extended Time of Wetness (TOW) and the high levels of contaminants (deicing chemicals), structural steel coatings and reinforcing steel in concrete consistently fail first at these locations. Bridge maintenance personnel are seeking a low-level of-effort processes and user-friendly coatings/treatments for maintaining these problem areas.

A bridge coatings specification can be a complex and sometimes confusing document to navigate through. Yet it is regarded as the rulebook for quality control and quality assurance personnel responsible for inspecting the quality of work. An inspection plan is a tool that can make the process of understanding the inspection checkpoints invoked by a bridge coating specification more streamlined and can be a key communication tool for contractor and inspection personnel.
