Project Description
SPI earned the SSPC 2011 E. Crone Knoy Award in recognition for the performance of SUPER THERM, RUST GRIP, and ENAMO GRIP coatings at the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge, also known as the Colorado River Bridge. The railings of the observation deck were treated with the 3 products. The observation deck expects 3-5 million visitors each year.
Coating Solution
After extensive testing, the SPI Coatings were selected for the railings surrounding the observation deck on the Bridge, which expects 3 to 5 million visitors each year. No other coatings could produce the level of corrosion protection, ease of application, and radiant heat reduction on the railings demonstrated by the SPI Coatings.
In submitting this project for recognition, Pacific United/Anco Services, a member of The Brock Group, said, “A very unique coating system was used on the project called SUPER THERM. This product reflects 95% of radiation from the sun. That is why the Federal Highway Department chose this product. The extreme temperatures of the Arizona/Nevada desert averages 95°F to 110°F on most days, with UV exposure from the sun.”
