Résumé : |
The Forth Road Bridge had the paintwork surveyed in 2002, the QEII Bridge in 2011 and the Tamar Road Bridge in 2012. The three bridges have all been surveyed by SPC and as previously required by the Highways Agency, with the surveys undertaken by an experienced team including a qualified Paint Technologist, assisted by Corr Grades Level and painting inspectors.
The Forth Road Bridge survey established that there was variable degradation of the applied and weathered systems. The findings required a bridge specific specification to ensure that the maintenance repainting intervention achieved the greatest possible life to next major maintenance. Therefore, it can significantly reduce the whole life costing of the structure. Follwing the detailed surveys on the other bridges the same way forward will be used to obtain the optimum specification and coating systems to achieve the longest possible life to next maintenance. |
