This project focused on the surface preparation and coating of the top of a flying bridge, ensuring compliance with industry standards for durability and performance.

Work Completed:

• Surface Cleaning:
  The flying bridge top was pressure-washed to remove salts, contaminants, and debris, preparing it for the next steps.

• Protection of Sensitive Areas:
  Items specified in section 3.1.4 were covered and protected to avoid damage during blasting and coating.

• Abrasive Blasting:
  The 156-square-foot area was abrasive blasted with sponge media Silver 30 to achieve an SSPC-SP 10 (Near-White Metal) standard.

• Re-protection for Coating:
  Protected areas were uncovered for inspection after blasting, then re-covered for the coating process.

• Coating Application:
  The approved coating system for Freeboard/Superstructure (steel) was applied in line with SFLC Standard Specification 6310.

• Final Cleanup:
  All protected items were uncovered, and the area was cleaned upon project completion.

Outcome:
The project delivered a durable, high-quality finish that meets stringent industry standards, ensuring long-term protection and performance of the flying bridge structure.
