Scope of Work
The contractor will oversee cleaning and coating of approach spans and structural steel members on the Francis Scott Key Bridge, constructed in 1972. The dual-span drawbridge and approaches reach a total of 10.9 miles in length.
The contractor will perform preparation and coating of bearing areas and structural steel members. The steel will require abrasive blast-cleaning to a Near White (SSPC-SP 10) standard and coating with the MDSHA System C, which consists of an organic zinc-rich primer, an epoxy intermediate, and a urethane finish.
Owner-approved manufacturers for structural steel liquid coatings include Baril Coatings, Carboline, International Protective Coatings, PPG, Sherwin-Williams, TNEMEC and Wasser. The project also includes 4,690 square feet of protective coating of concrete surfaces.
The existing coatings contain lead. Class 1A containment according to SSPC-Guide 6 is required. SSPC-QP 1 and QP 2 certifications are also required. MDSHA personnel will perform coatings inspections services.
