Portland Hospital Skybridge

The Portland Hospital Skybridge is a critical structural and visual connection between medical facilities, serving patients, staff, and visitors daily. As an exposed steel structure in the Pacific Northwest, the skybridge required a high-performance coating system capable of withstanding persistent moisture, temperature fluctuations, and urban environmental exposure. Wasser was selected to provide a durable protective solution that would preserve both structural integrity and aesthetic appearance.

The specified system incorporated a corrosion-resistant primer with a high-build intermediate coat and a durable, UV-stable topcoat engineered for long-term exterior performance. Careful surface preparation and controlled application ensured full encapsulation of structural steel components, particularly at connection points and high-exposure areas. The result is a resilient coating system that protects against corrosion while maintaining a clean, professional finish consistent with the hospital’s architectural sta
