Westhaven Cycle and Walkway

Long-lasting protection is paramount when coating steel structures located in marine environments, like the substructure and balustrade panels Metspray coated for the Westhaven Cycle and Walkway.

Metspray was commissioned to apply the thermal zinc/aluminium alloy metal spray and glass-filled epoxy coating system in-factory. Handling structural steel frames of 5 tonnes, each measuring 6m x 10m, posed its own challenges for ensuring a seamless coating film.

Metspray undertook onsite repair work (due to transport and erection damage), direct with Downer Construction to ensure the coating met integrity and warranty requirements.

During repair work, Metspray addressed challenges such as proximity of tidal salt water while adhering to strict environmental requirements to ensure no contamination of the surrounding area.
