RAILROAD OVERPASS
Kentucky 1996 - 2004
RUST
GRIP and ENAMO
GRIP
A Railroad Overpass in Kentucky, in which trains regularly pass underneath.
Problem: Trains operating under the bridge leave severe diesel soot
and carbon deposits behind, resulting in a corroded bridge structure.
Solution: Two coats of RUST
GRIP applied by brush at 200 sq.ft.(18 sq. meters) per gallon,
covered by ENAMO GRIP sprayed on using an airless
sprayer at 250 sq.ft.(22 sq. meters) per gallon. Tip size was .016 (16/1000
inch) or 400 micron (0.4mm).
After 8+ years of protection from RUST
GRIP and ENAMO GRIP, Mr. Ted Hopwood
at the University of Kentucky, which does research for the Kentucky Dept.
of Transportation, reported the coating was still doing an outstanding job
and looked very good.
