TOTAL SHOP PAINTING OF STEEL BRIDGES

This article discusses the extensive program undertaken by the Michigan Department of Transportation coatings laboratory which has resulted in the development of specifications for fully shop painted steel for new bridges. The initial cost of shop coating is lower than other alternatives monitored in the last 25 years. A significant advantage is the extended paint life that is expected from a coating applied under ideal conditions.
