One of the longest (Length 1.2 km) and oldest riveted railroad bridges in the Netherlands. In the 1960s provided with a so-called flintcoat. A tar-like fairly hard coating sometimes up to a centimeter thick.
The railroad bridge in Zaltbommel
Van der Ende has thoroughly renovated the 1.2 km long railroad bridge near Zaltbommel, one of the oldest riveted bridges in the Netherlands. The tar-like flint coat was removed using 2,000 bar water pressure, after which 42,000 m² of steel was de-rusted and provided with a durable 3-layer coating system. Thanks to an efficient approach, the project was completed 1.5 years ahead of schedule.
" " The assigned work was performed satisfactorily and in good cooperation and delivered on time."

Application of 3-layer coating system
The underside consists of approximately 42,000 m2 of steel. Of this, approximately 12,000 m2 had flint coating. This coating was removed by high-pressure water 2,000 bar. After this, the 42,000 m2 of steel was further de-rusted and roughened and provided with a 3-layer coating system.
Save time
The project was completed 1½ years early.
