Why Bridge Maintenance Matters

Why Bridge Maintenance Matters

Regular bridge maintenance and recoating is critical for safety, compliance, and extending service life.

  • Weather Protection — Shields against rain, snow, ice, and UV damage
  • Structural Safety — Prevents corrosion that weakens load-bearing components
  • Regulatory Compliance — Meets DOT and federal bridge maintenance requirements
  • Cost Savings — Preventive maintenance costs far less than structural repair
  • Aesthetic Preservation — Maintains the visual appeal of public infrastructure
  • Extended Service Life — Proper coating systems can add decades to a bridge's lifespan

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Many older bridges have lead-based paint that must be removed according to strict EPA and OSHA regulations. MPC is fully certified for lead paint abatement, including proper containment, worker protection, and waste disposal. We handle the entire process from testing through final clearance.

We typically use a three-coat system: zinc-rich primer for cathodic protection, an epoxy intermediate coat for barrier protection, and a polyurethane topcoat for UV stability and color retention. The exact system is specified based on the bridge type, environment, and DOT requirements.

We install full containment systems around the bridge work area to capture all debris, blast media, and paint waste. This prevents any material from entering waterways or surrounding areas. Our containment meets all EPA, DOT, and state environmental regulations.

In many cases, yes. We develop traffic management plans that allow the bridge to remain open during painting, using lane closures and work zones to maintain public access while our crews work safely. We coordinate with DOT and local authorities on traffic control.

What Our Clients Say

Markley Precision Company was easy to work with and the quality of their work is second to none. I have used them on three separate projects and have been very pleased with the quality of work each time. No job seems to be too big or too small. I have used them to blast and paint a 30,000 gallon propane tank, and to blast and paint our vertical bulk storage vessels for nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. They've even done work for me on the Lake Erie Islands, as well, which presented logistical challenges, but MPC didn't miss a beat. I would recommend MPC 100 out of 100 times.

Matt Drennen

Very happy with the work completed so far with MPC. Last year, I had them paint 5 of our 30,000 gallon bullet tanks. The work was completed quickly and professionally. With a years worth of age on them now, they still look as good as new! I was so pleased with their work on the tanks, I hired them to complete an even larger, more complex project blasting and recoating a natural gas processing mechanical refrigeration unit. Even when some concerns came up, they quickly remediated the situation. Extremely happy with the work they've performed!
