A steel bulkhead serviced by the U.S. Coast Guard in South Portland required a high-performance coating system to protect against constant saltwater exposure, tidal fluctuations, and harsh coastal conditions. These aggressive elements accelerate corrosion and structural degradation, particularly in the splash and tidal zones. The project required a durable solution that could be applied efficiently while ensuring long-term protection of critical marine infrastructure.

The Challenge
Why Wasser
Wasser Technologies was selected for its proven ability to protect steel structures in demanding marine environments. Wasser’s moisture-cured urethane systems offer exceptional adhesion, corrosion resistance, and the ability to cure in high-humidity and damp conditions, making them ideal for tidal zone applications. Their performance in extending the life of marine infrastructure made them a reliable choice for this project.
