The Florida Department of Transportation planned a large expansion of I-595 including the addition of several new bridges and rehabilitation of existing bridges.

Scope:

The existing coating on the bridges was sound and showed very little sign of degradation or rusting. FDOT wanted a coating system that would allow the contractor to apply a clear sealer coat and a finish coat to the girders to match the coatings applied to the expansion areas.

Explanation of Work:

Carbomastic 15 was used a spot primer to build the system in areas where surfaces were prepared to bare metal.

  • First Coat: Rustbond
  • Second Coat: Carbomastic 15
  • Third Coat: Carbothane 133 LH

Coating selection was based on FDOT Qualified Products List and clear sealer coat as a bonding primer as requested.
