About this app

This app provides a better understanding of the process to remove and replace bridge coatings for the structural steel elements of bridges in service. The app describes how to plan and execute a coatings removal and replacement operation with an emphasis on the three primary activities of containment, surface preparation and painting. This app does not cover shop-applied coatings or spot-painting operations, however much of the information represents best practices for all bridge coating work.
