Project

The Padma Bridge is Bangladesh's largest bridge and a vital transport link carrying both road and rail traffic. With an aggressive construction programme and a complex steel structure, the project required a coating system that could be applied efficiently while delivering long-term corrosion protection.

PPG worked closely with the project team to meet strict construction deadlines without compromising coating performance.
