Service overview
Coating Programs Built Around Transportation Specifications
Bridge steel is exposed to moisture, salts, ultraviolet light, abrasion, and difficult maintenance conditions. Regal supports new and existing transportation assets with coating programs organized around the owner-approved system, surface-preparation standard, application requirements, inspection points, and documentation package.
Our shop and field capabilities allow the project team to select the appropriate execution environment for fabricated members or installed structures. Approval requirements vary by agency and contract, so qualifications, products, and procedures are confirmed against each project's governing documents before work begins.

Benefits Built Into the Program
Specification Compliance
Work plans align surface preparation, coating products, thickness requirements, cure windows, and inspection hold points with contract documents.
Traceable Quality
Environmental readings, preparation checks, application records, and inspection results support the required project documentation.
Shop and Field Support
QP3 shop and QP1 field capabilities support fabricated members, installed steel, maintenance work, and coordinated project scopes.
Execution
Application and Inspection Methods
Contract Review
Confirm agency requirements, approved products, qualification submittals, access constraints, containment needs, hold points, and reporting expectations.
Surface Preparation
Prepare structural steel to the specified SSPC/NACE cleanliness and profile requirements while managing project-specific environmental controls.
Coating Application
Apply the approved primer, intermediate, and finish coats with stripe coating and edge treatment where required by the specification.
Inspection and Documentation
Record ambient conditions, preparation results, wet or dry film thickness, cure, repairs, and final acceptance information required by the contract.
