Different coatings solutions we offer
Finished Paint Systems

Finished Paint Systems
Finish Paint, or Finished Paint, means a shop applied coating system that is complete. There are no further applications of coatings after the item leaves the shop for it’s destination.
Structural steel usually has connection points. It is common for these connection points to receive primer-only and be masked for the additional coats. Connection points are tied in to the finished system in the field.
Bridge Painting

Finished Paint Systems
Usually, bridge painting projects are specified before they come to us. We like to provide as much input to the DOT and GC as possible. Not all coatings systems are equal and our experience can help select a system best for the project and the time of year.
Often coatings are selected from NEPCOAT (North East Protective Coating Committee). We regularly work with NEPCOAT qualified products and incorporate them into our non-DOT work.
Fireproofing

Fireproofing
Fireproofing is a coating applied to steel structures to protect them from fire. The coating is designed to insulate the steel from heat, since heat weakens the steel and reduces the steel’s load-bearing abilities. Keep in mind, shop applied fireproofing is a specific type of fireproofing.
There are many types of fireproofing. Cementitious and intumescent are common coating options. These should not be confused with “fire-stopping” materials.
