Natural Color Solutions for DOT Projects

Santa Barbara Fernald Point Bridge with Natina Finish
October 25, 2023


Learn how Natina helped this highway expansion blend into its surroundings.

To support growing infrastructure demands and ease traffic flow in a fast-developing urban area, transportation leaders launched a multi-year roadway expansion project. Designed to reduce congestion, improve safety and boost local job creation, the initiative reflects a broader commitment to efficient and context-sensitive design.

Natina’s Role

As part of this effort, Natina was chosen to treat key concrete elements—barrier walls, medians and headwalls—with our eco-safe color solution. Unlike paint or coatings, our treatment reacts naturally with the concrete surface to produce a rich, earthy finish that softens the visual footprint and complements the surrounding environment.

Key Advantages

  • Blends infrastructure into the landscape with natural, earth-toned color
  • Durable, low-maintenance finish that withstands weather and wear
  • Non-toxic and environmentally safe—ideal for public-facing applications
  • Aligns with DOT goals for visual integration and long-term performance
