Steelpaint GmbH has reported strong growth in orders for corrosion protection coatings on Germany’s inland waterways, with a succession of new contracts awarded by local authorities and hydraulic engineering contractors throughout 2025.
Among the raft of new projects is the work WSA Main is carrying out on the Main River at Viereth-Trunstadt. The Main is a major tributary of the Rhine forming one of Europe’s most important inland transport routes between the North Sea and the Black Sea.
Steelpaint’s special coatings will be applied to a two-field rolling weir as part of a maintenance and renewal program to extend the life of key hydraulic assets. Surface preparation and application is being carried out by Muehlhan Deutschland GmbH, which is responsible for the onsite works.
The project, which began in September 2025, involves replacing an aging two-component epoxy system supplied by another manufacturer with Steelpaint’s advanced polyurethane-based coating system, comprising Stelpant-PU-Zinc, Combi 300 and Stelcatec-L-TC, a UV-resistant topcoat.
Applied in multiple layers to a total dry film thickness (DFT) of about 580µm, the coating provides long-term protection against corrosion, turbulence, abrasion and UV degradation. Steelpaint is supplying coatings for a steel surface of 500m2 and developed to ensure durability and
