Transportation

Corrosion is a major threat to concrete and steel bridges, roadways, tunnels, overpasses, and parking structures. Harsh environmental conditions, service duration and airborne pollutants are some of the causes of the world’s rapidly deteriorating transportation infrastructure.

SPI offers various polyurea coating for anti-corrosion, waterproofing and nonskid surfaces, which are specifically formulated to protect concrete and steel substrates. Extremely durable, our coatings will withstand heavy vehicular traffic, weather cycling, and salt and chemical exposure. These purpose-specific engineered coatings mitigate moisture ingress, providing excellent impermeable barriers.

The effects of strong ground motion, as encountered during earthquakes, and freeze-thaw cycling, also can contribute to the deterioration of transportation infrastructure. Our high-elongation polyureas remain flexible, allowing give with substrate movement, while providing structural integrity. These unique polyureas form a seamless membrane that help to eliminate further deterioration of infrastructure, ultimately extending the service life of this critical infrastructure, which keeps the world in motion.

Dear Valued SPI Partners,

As our Nation unites to minimize the spread of COVID-19, the President issued updated Coronavirus Guidance for Americans on March 16th. This guidance initiated communication and notifications including Continuation of Supply Letters from valued SPI customers who are working on various critical infrastructure projects.

During these times of uncertainty, our mantra of “Diversify With SPI” has never been more meaningful than it is today. With you as our valued partner, we collectively maintain being a critical cog in the wheel to keep many diverse areas of infrastructure going throughout this nation and globally.

We have a number of manufacturing facilities across the US, giving us more options and resources to keep material moving to all geographical areas and markets. All Specialty Products’ facilities will remain open for business, and remain focused on continuing to supply your businesses through this uncharted time. Please continue to communicate closely with your SPI representative about the status of the environment around your place of business, and try to place your orders with as much advanced notice as possible. This will allow our production facilities and supply chain partners to work in sync to maintain the same level of service you’ve come to expect, and enable us to meet your product needs.

Rest assured, at SPI, nothing is more important than our employees’ safety, and we are doing everything possible to ensure the well-being of our dedicated staff, customers, suppliers, and service providers. With an uncompromising commitment to employee safety and social distancing, our team members who are able to perform their duties remotely, have already begun to do so. We will continue to monitor the conditions and communicate with our team, our partners, and you, if situations change.

We appreciate the continued notifications from you and your customers related to your projects under the Federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) strategic guidance. If you have questions, or even ideas using technologies to provide a solution, we will continue to be available 24/7 to assist you.

Everyone at SPI, and all the VersaFlex Family of Companies hope you and your families remain safe and healthy.
