Innovation, beautiful design and practicality– award-winning ingredients in Prague
The beautiful design is developed to suit the construction process and carries the heavy loads of tramways, cars, and pedestrians into the heart of Prague. The bridge promotes the qualities of steel by its visible slender structure and elegance. The effective lighting accentuates the expressive form. Troja Bridge is like a sculpture, and a beautiful addition to the city of Prague.ECCS’s Steel Bridge Award jury
The challenge

The solution
On this occasion, the primer was applied in the workshop before the main steel parts were transported to the site. Following touch-up work in assembly areas, a second primer and intermediate layers were applied using Hempadur Fast Dry 15560, which enabled work to progress smoothly while also reducing the risk of affecting property around the site. Finally, the bridge was roller-coated with Hempathane HS 55610, the fast-dry version of our polyurethane topcoat with zinc phosphate that provides the highest standards of long-lasting colour fastness and dries to touch in just 3 hours at 20ºC.
