This session discusses protective coatings case studies and other technical information on infrastructure such as bridges, storage tanks, structures in the electrical market, and other critical assets in corrosive atmospheres. It includes presentations from protective coatings experts who will speak about coatings such as liquid zinc-rich coatings, hot-dip galvanizing, and thermal spray zinc metallizing. The content is designed to share proven strategies for protecting steel substrates and provides multiple options for asset owners, specifiers, and inspectors to consider.
