HAUSMANN’S BRIDGE – OSLO – NORWAY
The bridge was built in 1892 by the Christiania Municipal Road Administration, in cast iron with detailed decorations. The bridge was rebuilt (extended double-wide) in 1982. The new bridge was completed in similar style as the original, including copies of original details in cast iron construction and the old railing was retained.
By 2014, the bridge was showing signs of corrosion, and it has been listed by the SVV (Road Authorities) for renovation. As with other road bridges, the ironwork has to be protected from aggressive attack from chlorides that are present each winter with salt-gritting of the roads, sulphurous emissions from vehicles that produce acidic residues via condensation and rain, hot and cold conditions that create thermal expansion in the hot summer months and freezing water that can expand inside any microcracking on the surface of the iron in the winter months.

Hong Kong – Zhuhai – Macao Bridge – CHINA
Hong Kong, Macao and Zhuhai (Guangdong Province), three major cities in the Pearl River
Delta.
It has been one of the most advanced, complicated and difficult constructions projects of the highest standards and requirements of all transportation infrastructure projects in China.
This big bridge comprises of a combination of bridges, undersea tunnels and 4 artificial islands. The designed service life of the bridge is 120 years. The total length of the bridge is 55 km – 34 miles.From 2014 to 2017 a total quantity of 37 tons of ZINGA has been applied (substituting aluminium-sprayed protection originally designed) on the surface steel plates of the composite truss where the members of the steel truss were designed as box sections and the joints between the members were welded. These 120-m span continuous box girders, located in the non-navigable spans, are seated on precast caissons and integral pier shafts. This simple
structural system enables the installation to be implemented in large scale and fast-track
mode, as all its major units are standardized and the manufacturing process is industrialized.

SADLIERS RIVER BRIDGE – QUEENSLAND ROAD – AUSTRALIA
The bridge is a steel truss, concrete
and timber bridge designed by Chief
Engineer Henry Charles Stanley. Dating from 1902, it is the second bridge to cross the Bremer River at this site.
The Sadliers Crossing Railway Bridge is a two span Whipple truss bridge with continuous rolled steel joists. It is the second longest span of its type in Queensland (45.7 metres), the longest being the former Burdekin River Rail Bridge at Macrossan. The Whipple truss was developed by Squire (CE) Whipple as a stronger version of the Pratt truss that was designed by Thomas and Caleb Pratt in 1844. The basic identifying features of the Pratt
truss are the diagonal web members which form a V-shape. The centre section commonly has crossing diagonal members. The Pratt truss and its variations are the most common type of all trusses. One of these variations is the Whipple truss, which was patented in 1847, and is also known as the “Doubleintersection Pratt” because the diagonal tension members cross two panels, while those on the Pratt cross one. The Whipple truss was popular with the railroads as it was stronger and more rigid than the Pratt.

RATHDOWNEY BRIDGE – AUSTRALIA
In 2003 Queensland Rail allocated AU$ 500,000 to blast and repaint as many of the bridges in the region as possible with 2 coats of ZINGA to a DFT of between 120 and 150 µm. The expectation (based on historic
costs of existing systems) was that they would manage to paint 6 or 7 bridges. The project team completed 11 bridges within the allocated budget, due in a large part to the project efficiencies gained using ZINGA.
In October 2012, an inspection revealed staining from the tannins from the transoms as well as some rust staining from un-treated steel above the deck, however a quick wash removed the stains revealing ZINGA in
perfect condition. Several DFT readings were taken on 3 bridges revealing a consistent average of 126 µm
An inspection was carried out by Queensland Rail approximately 10 years after the application of ZINGA. It was agreed to control 5 bridges (out of 11) which would be representative since all the bridges treated are in the same region and in the same environment.
Report: Inspection of the Paint Coating – Standard Gauge Bridges Contract of 2003
On 31st October 2013, the coating on five bridges was inspected by Glenn Duggan and Andrew Weatherburn from ZINGA, and Juanita Taylor (Design Engineer) and Laurie Kathage (Civil Engineer) from Queensland Rail. This inspection was to determine the condition of the ZINGA after 10 years,
with no touch-up work having been performed during that time. The inspection was performed using visual methods and by sampling DFT readings taken through the full depth of the girders at random cross-sections. The ZINGA was examined for cracking, crazing, peeling, oxidization, as well
as for signs of rusting of the substrate, including the return of rust in previously badly rusted areas (pits, crevices).

MOLISSON STREET BRIDGE – AUSTRALIA
It is the first steel bridge structure protected with ZINGA for VicRoads Design.
In the last decade it was showing rapid deterioration caused by corrosion.
Therefore it was decided to treat this bridge in May 2007.
The old coating had to be removed completely because of this rapid advancement of corrosion.
The ZINGA Coating system used on this bridge will provide exceptional long term protection for
this “National Heritage” structure, including excellent UV resistance and weathering properties.
The distinct advantage of using ZINGA as primer coat is that in many years to come the high volume of 96% pure zinc content of ZINGA will extend the service life by some 30 years.
All steel bridges flex. When using this ZINGA system, the coating will never become brittle and will remain flexible throughout the service life of the coating system, thus preventing possible coating failures.
