Coating and Painting

Painting of the steel colums on the indoor courts is underway. The first step in the process is the coating of the base of the steel where the areas were affected by rust and corrosion caused by water in the facility. The base coat is a zinc layer that prevents further rust damage and will protect the metal from any moisture. Next, the entire column will be covered with an aluminum based paint that will serve as a base for the white primer and paint. In total the beams will receive between 5 and 6 applications. These coatings will protect the building and last for years to come.
