Todd Danielson, editorial director of Informed Infrastructure, interviews Paul Trautmann, the Marketing Director for Infrastructure for Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine.

Learn approaches for securing longer service lives from wastewater infrastructure assets to help stretch municipal budgets by selecting the right coating materials for new constructions and rehabilitations. We discuss the importance of getting the materials–and the applications–right as well as how working directly with qualified suppliers and certified applicators can mean the difference between realizing long service lives or encountering premature deterioration and early repairs.

The interview covers important considerations for installations and rehabilitations, from specification to surface prep to coatings applications to final holiday testing. It also notes the importance of working with trained and certified crews and how the Sherwin-Williams Certified Applicator Program (CAP) helps ensure applicators can deliver improved reliability, minimized maintenance and extended service lives for critical infrastructure assets.
