Résumé : |
In some quarters of society there is a public outcry regarding the significant corrosion, coating deterioration and safety concerns associated with North American bridges. Against this backdrop, this article will describe the application of an innovative coating system for the rehabilitation and lead abatement of a major truss bridge superstructure in Alberta, Canada more than 20 years ago.
At that time, this one-coat, high-ratio calcium sulfonate alkyd (HRCSA) coating system was deemed best-in-test for the superstructure and crevice-corroded joints of the High Level Bridge in Edmonton. The high-performance coating was subsequently applied under the direction and inspection of co-author Glenn Hollins in 1995, as he was the owner’s representative during the evaluation and construction phases.
This article outlines the findings of the current inspection of the coating system on the bridge and also explains the specific chemistry of HRCSA technology that indicated years ago that it should have been, and indeed has since proven to be, the “answer” for many bridge rehabilitation coating projects and the "answer" today for what some describe today as a national scandal. |
