Bridge painting demands QA/QC methods that are fast, defensible, and aligned with current standards. This presentation delivers practical updates on surface profile measurement, coating thickness scanning per SSPC-PA 2 and ASTM D7091, duplex system measurement, and environmental monitoring consistent with ISO 8502-4. It also covers updates to high voltage holiday detection standards, including voltage selection and on-structure verification, so attendees leave with field-ready techniques that save time and improve accuracy on steel bridge projects.
