The protective treatment selected for this structure was gritblasting and metal spraying with zinc to a thickness of 75 microns (0.003”) followed by a paint system for decorative surfaces. The Outside Contracts Division of the Metallisation Organisation carried out the complete treatment at the Customer’s Works; 1300M2 (14,000 sq ft) of surface area were treated within three weeks.
