02 // LIFECYCLE_TIMELINE
Time is the
argument.
Scroll through two decades of infrastructure life. Every row adds another year of evidence. The amber bar is your money still in the bank.
Material + fabrication + surface prep + primer + topcoat
Material + bolt assembly. No coating. No welding.
Recoat cycle 1. Chloride blistering detected in splash zone. $14.20/lf.
Visual inspection only. No maintenance action required.
Structural replacement begins in chemical exposure zones. $18.70/lf.
Still at original specification. No action required.
Recoat cycle 2 + partial section replacement. $9.80/lf additional.
Engineering re-inspection confirms zero section loss.
Full structural replacement required. Total: $78.40/lf over 20 yr.
FRP still in service. Total: $18.40/lf. No replacement projected.

We pulled 3,800 linear feet of W6 I-beam out of our cooling tower basin and replaced it with Pultrude profiles. Eighteen months later, not a spot of corrosion. The steel we removed was 40% section loss.

The comparison PDF they sent showed us $312,000 in 20-year lifecycle savings on a single bridge deck replacement. DOT approved it on the first submittal — the third-party cert data sealed it.

Procurement approved it in one meeting. The 6-month steel replacement cycle was costing us $80k per shutdown. We haven't touched the FRP grating in 4 years.
