Ponts et structures d’infrastructure en acier

Application Scenarios

Highway bridges, railway bridges, urban elevated roads, pedestrian overpasses, and other steel structure anti-corrosion coating applications.

Selection Logic

Bridge steel normally requires a multi-coat system because the structure is exposed to UV, rain, temperature cycling, vibration, and difficult maintenance access. The final coating system should be confirmed by exposure class, design life, surface preparation grade, and whether the bridge includes splash-zone or high-humidity sections.
