The Bridge Technical Community of Interest is a group of professionals (both AMPP members and nonmembers) that will include, owners, manufacturers, consultants, contractors and others who have come together to share and discuss issues affecting the bridge industry and new and emerging technology. Through the shared knowledge of this diverse group, both geographically and from varying viewpoints, information can be discussed about current issues for both the design phase and construction phase. This can include the selection of containment to surface preparation and materials, abrasives, coatings, solvents, etc. during the design phase and issues during the actual construction phase with the contractor’s submittals, means and methods. The sharing of knowledge on how to deal with structural issues that could be detrimental to the life of the newly applied system can be discussed along with new and emerging technologies and how they can be incorporated into bridge coatings to streamline those processes and possibly lower the overall costs.

    CoatingsPro Magazine runs an article in every issue called "Never Again," which is a discussion of a project where the high-performance coatings failed prematurely. We do not share any company or product names, but we do include images of the failures. There are also key takeaways to help the contractor readers avoid these types of failures on their own project. We're looking for authors to write articles for us in this theme. Please reach out to me directly if you're interested, and I can answer any follow-up questions here or in this discussion thread. Thank you!

     Great Morning to you , i am just reeving this email , now that I have i would like to be a part of whatever team that you put together that would put an end to the  Fern Hollow bridge collapse near Frick Park in Pittsburgh, Pa. and other bridges from collapsing due to the same non compliance. I would like to know what are we doing as an organization about the bridges from collapsing. In my opinion it is the lack of information that would come from routine hold point inspections that would identify the problems that before we come across the catastrophic failure of the bridge falling which could in turn would people,  possibly fatalities.  I am willing to be a part of the solution in any way that I can.
