The actual service life depends on corrosion protection, the environment, the load, and maintenance. Steel offers significant advantages, such as high strength and long spans, but it does require periodic maintenance to prevent corrosion.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What type of corrosion protection do you recommend?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"All of our steel bridges are hot-dip galvanized as standard. Depending on the environment and the desired service life, a duplex system (hot-dip galvanizing combined with a paint system) can be selected as an additional option, which offers even greater corrosion protection. When hot-dip galvanizing is not possible, a multi-layer paint system can be applied. Weather-resistant steel (Corten) is also an option.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How often does a steel bridge need to be recoated?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The maintenance interval depends on the chosen corrosion protection system, the quality of the pretreatment and application, the corrosion class of the environment, the structural detailing, and the mechanical load. A properly designed and installed duplex system can provide protection for decades. Regular inspections make it possible to repair local damage in a timely manner and significantly extend the service life.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the difference between galvanizing and coating?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Hot-dip galvanizing and coating are two different corrosion protection systems. Hot-dip galvanizing creates a metallurgically bonded zinc layer that actively protects the steel against corrosion. A coating forms a protective layer against moisture, UV radiation, and other environmental factors. The combination of both\\u2014a duplex system\\u2014offers the highest level of corrosion protection and the longest service life.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the maximum span for steel?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The maximum span depends on the bridge type, the design, and the loads. Steel girder, box-girder, and truss bridges can achieve clear spans of 50 meters or more.
