Shangzheng Youjiang Grand Bridge Successfully Closed — JIANBANG Coatings Protect a Major Guangxi Infrastructure Project
Great news! The steel arch rib of the Shangzheng Youjiang Bridge — a key control project of the Nanning Southern Bypass Expressway (Wuxu Airport to Long'an Extension) — has been successfully closed. The project now enters the deck hoisting and installation phase. JIANBANG Coatings, as the supplier of the complete anti-corrosion coating system for the bridge's steel structure, protects the long-term safety of this "steel dragon" as it spans the Youjiang River with quality coatings.
The Shangzheng Youjiang Bridge is a 288-meter half-through concrete-filled steel tube tied arch bridge crossing the Youjiang waterway. It is a key expressway infrastructure project in Guangxi and an important component of the Nanning Second Ring Expressway, playing a significant role in smoothing the logistics and sea-access corridor of Southwest China.
Steel structures of bridges stand close to water with high humidity, facing an extremely harsh corrosive environment. For a major bridge, anti-corrosion quality directly determines its service life — once the coating fails, steel reinforcement rusts and the structure loses stability, and the later maintenance cost far exceeds the original protection investment. The complete anti-corrosion coating system for the steel structure of this project — epoxy zinc-rich primer, epoxy micaceous iron oxide intermediate paint, and aliphatic polyurethane topcoat — was fully supplied by JIANBANG Coatings.
Anti-corrosion for a waterfront steel bridge relies on a layered, multi-defense system rather than a single coat:
Epoxy zinc-rich primer: Based on the cathodic protection principle, it establishes a rust-resistant base layer on the steel substrate with excellent adhesion, firmly gripping the steel surface.
Epoxy micaceous iron oxide intermediate paint: Its mica-iron flake structure stacks layer by layer, greatly extending the moisture penetration path and strengthening the barrier protection.
Aliphatic polyurethane topcoat: Offers excellent weather resistance, resisting UV aging, and staying free from chalking, gloss loss, and discoloration under long-term outdoor exposure, durably protecting both appearance and protection.
With the three coats working together — primer, intermediate, and topcoat each performing its role — the system withstands the combined high-temperature, high-humidity, and waterfront corrosion conditions along the Youjiang River.
Since its founding in 2001, JIANBANG Coatings (Jiangsu Bangjie Anti-Corrosion & Insulation Technology Co., Ltd.) has focused on the heavy anti-corrosion field for over two decades. It is one of the drafting units of the National Standard for Cold Zinc Coating and the HFVC Standard, an authorized supplier of CNPC and Sinopec, and holds 8 invention patents. From the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway, from nuclear power to LNG, from seven major domestic refining & petrochemical bases to infrastructure across Indonesia — JIANBANG's coatings are applied in demanding, high-stakes environments.
It is precisely this accumulation of treating extreme service conditions as routine that enables JIANBANG to take on large-scale infrastructure projects with extremely high anti-corrosion lifespan requirements like the Shangzheng Youjiang Bridge, providing a complete, implementable, and verifiable anti-corrosion solution — from formula selection and coating pairing to on-site technical service.
JIANBANG Coatings continues to deepen its work in the heavy anti-corrosion field, providing complete anti-corrosion solutions for major domestic bridges and steel structure projects, protecting infrastructure safety with quality coatings.
