Forth Rail Bridge

Is a historical wonder at an incredible 119 years old and was constructed from 53,000 tons of steel. Standing 110m high and 2,467m in length, the structure requires enough protective coating to cover 230,000 square meters of steel.

Subject to coastal conditions with moderate to high salinity the steel of the Forth Rail Bridge needs to be protected against a very aggressive environment; including high winds and sea mists.
The system used was a Sherwin-Williams high build blast primer and glass flake epoxy.
