Bridge steelwork is exposed to severe environmental conditions — rain, salt spray, de-icing chemicals and constant traffic vibration. Shot blasting is the standard surface preparation method for bridge maintenance and refurbishment projects, removing all rust and old coatings to prepare the steel for a new protective coating system.
Bridge steelwork is typically specified to Sa 2.5 or Sa 3 (white metal) depending on the coating system and environment. We work to Highways England, Network Rail and local authority specifications. All work is documented with surface cleanliness and profile records.
We have experience working on live highway and railway bridges under traffic management and possession. We set up full containment to prevent spent abrasive from falling onto roads, railways or waterways.
