Supplying coatings for a working marine barge is challenging due to constant exposure to saltwater, moisture, abrasion, and harsh weather. Large steel surfaces and high-wear areas require systems that can be applied efficiently while providing long-term corrosion protection. The coatings must withstand heavy use from equipment and traffic while minimizing future maintenance in a demanding marine environment.

The Challenge
Why Wasser
Blue Atlantic Fabricators is a custom steel and aluminum fabrication company located on the Boston waterfront, supporting marine and industrial projects that require durable, high-quality workmanship. Their proximity to the harbor allows for fabrication of barges and other marine structures that must withstand continuous exposure to moisture, salt air, and abrasive service conditions.
