Our Bridge Restoration Process
With each bridge sandblasting and painting, we follow the standards set by the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP). These are systematic approaches involving SSPC and NACE standards to ensure the quality, durability, and environmental compliance of the coating system.
- We evaluate the condition of the bridge to identify areas of corrosion, existing coatings, and any structural issues.
- Our team skillfully remove loose rust, scale, and other contaminants using power tools or hand tools.
- We eliminate dirt, oil, and grease from the surface.
- We implement proper containment and disposal practices for abrasive media, coatings, and waste materials.
- We use materials such as tarps, scaffolding, or containment curtains to protect the environment around the bridge.
- Additionally, we implement air filtration systems to remove airborne particulates and maintain good air quality.
- Guided by SSPC (Society for Protective Coatings) guidelines, we choose the appropriate abrasive material. Common abrasives include garnet, steel grit, or other materials suitable for the bridge’s substrate (surface).
- Our team conduct abrasive blasting to achieve the desired cleanliness level specified by SSPC standards.
- We meticulously measure and verify the surface profile using appropriate tools to ensure it meets SSPC requirements.
- We apply a primer compatible with the specified topcoat. Follow manufacturer recommendations and SSPC guidelines for film thickness.
- If necessary, we apply intermediate coats, following SSPC guidelines on film thickness and compatibility with the primer and topcoat.
- Our team apply the topcoat in accordance with SSPC standards, ensuring the correct film thickness and proper curing.
- We conduct inspections at each stage of the process to ensure compliance with SSPC standards. At MPC, we will verify film thickness, adhesion, and overall coating integrity.
- Lastly, we address any touch-ups or corrections as needed.
