The project involved the restoration and strengthening of a steel bridge structure that had sustained extensive damage due to severe corrosion.
In particular, the column base plates, bracing members, and numerous stiffening plates exhibited significant deterioration and cross-section loss, as a result of prolonged exposure to the marine environment.
Depending on the extent of deterioration, structural elements were either replaced or strengthened through the addition of new steel plates.
Upon completion of the strengthening works, a corrosion protection system was applied through protective coatings, while the column bases were encased in reinforced concrete blocks to ensure long-term protection against future corrosion.
The works were carried out in March and April 2025.
