How PPG Protected a Historic Bridge in Queensland

Project: Burnett River Bridge
Location: Queensland, Australia
Coating System: PPG PSX
Application: Bridge refurbishment and structural steel protection

Some infrastructure projects are about more than simply building something new.

They're about preserving what is already there.

The historic Burnett River Bridge in Queensland required refurbishment to help protect its steel structure while maintaining its distinctive appearance.

The Challenge

As an older steel structure, the bridge needed a coating solution capable of delivering long-term corrosion protection.

At the same time, maintaining the visual appearance of a historic landmark was an important consideration.

The Solution

PPG supplied its PSX® coating system as part of the refurbishment.

The engineered polysiloxane technology was selected to provide long-term corrosion resistance alongside a high-quality finish.

The Result

The project helped restore and protect the historic bridge, providing durable protection against corrosion while maintaining the structure's appearance.

The refurbishment demonstrates how modern protective coatings can play an important role in extending the life of existing infrastructure.

Rather than replacing a structure, the right maintenance and coating strategy can help preserve it for many more years.
