Case Study: London’s Blackfriars Rail Bridge and Station
As part of a five-year project, the task of protecting the existing Blackfriars rail bridge and the new station that runs along its length presented a specific challenge in that a common protective coating system for old and new steelwork was preferred.
With the River Thames below, inherent issues of dampness and humidity meant that the choice of coating would be of particular importance, because Network Rail specified a minimum service life of 25 years to first major maintenance.
