Planes, trains and automobiles; they all take their toll on the surfaces they ride on.

 DOT structures, highways, box culverts and bridges

 Steel and concrete rail lines and beds, bridges, station platforms and drains

 Airport runways, terminal bays and parking structures

The unending physical stress of sheer traffic volume is the worst enemy of these surfaces and structures. Add the relentless onslaught of weather and the elements along with the chemicals applied to combat them, and you’ve got a downright hostile environment for exposed transportation infrastructure.

That’s where we come in. Spectrum Contracting is the Midwest’s premiere provider of high-build protective and restoration coatings and linings to counteract the structural damage caused by all these stressors. With 58+ years in the business, there’s almost no situation we haven’t seen or found a way to address safely, effectively, and within budget. And when we do come across the rare situation we haven’t encountered before, we don’t hesitate—we innovate.

We specialize in high-build coatings and linings, the kind that require technical expertise, thorough surface preparation, and careful attention to installation details.
