Coating life expectancy.
Japanese and American lab tests predict that the HRCSA coating system (250 microns recoat) will last 40+ years in the field.
Field erosion tests measured losses at a rate of 25 microns every 5,6 years.
Unfortunately, none of these performance predictions mean anything if the structure they are being applied to is being torn apart by structure critical corrosion.
Primary Reasons For Collapses.
Bent plates, loss of fasteners, loss of section, weakened girders, Ongoing section loss due to corrosion can negatively impact load ratings over time.
Corrosion frozen moving parts induce great stress to the superstructure and may induce microcracking, bending and misalignment of critical components.
Corrosion within the strands can affect structural integrity and load carrying capabilities. [PS: HRCSA offers OUTSTANDING wire rope coating solutions! Enquire below.]
Leaking expansion joints affect piers, bearings, bends, superstructure and substructure elements.
“Threats to Coating Service life.”
Damage / Abrasion / Impact / undercutting
Ph environment, de-icing salts, atmospheric pollution.
Preservation’s primary objective is to extend the service life and utility of existing assets.
- Cost effective and easily deployed with least amount of delay to the users.
- HRCSA is 30 year field proven to help solve the specific corrosion issues identified above.
Ask Your Supplier:
- Does the coating system you propose solve the potential or actual structure critical corrosion problems that are present on my asset?
- Does the proposed coating system demonstrate the proven ability to chemically stop crevice corrosion, pack rust, free corrosion frozen bearings, on structures with complex geometries and inaccessible areas to stop section loss and compromises to structural integrity?
- How does your proposed coating systems’ chemistry deal with crevice corrosion, pack rust, corrosion frozen bearings, and complex geometries?
- What testing, field experience, and case histories can you provide to confirm your system’s demonstrated ability to mitigate the above-mentioned corrosion issues?
- How is your system cost effective and rapidly deployed to minimize user delays?
- Do you have peer reviewed publications to back your claims?
- What type of performance warranty has your solution offering been tied to and can you provide a written example?
