The Fort Wayne Riverwalk project was a fun project for us to work on. It tested our capabilities, as it was a wet paint job, as well as powder coating. The parts came to us galvanized, so the first step was to blast them to a SSPC-SP16 standard. The wet paint portion of this project included the uprights for the tree top canopy and the underneath bracing. We primed with a Tnemec epoxy which has excellent resistance to abrasion and is suitable for immersion as well as chemical contact exposure. We then top coated with a Tnemec polyurethane that is highly resistant to abrasion, wet conditions, corrosive fumes and exterior weathering. This color is called Moon Shadow.

The benches throughout the walkway were powder coated with a PPG UD Polyester. This ultra-durable powder provides a combination of good physical and chemical resistant properties with excellent resistance to outdoor weathering. This color is called Khaki Grey and looks great with the Moon Shadow tree top canopy.
