(Case Studies) Crisis Management for Construction Projects

Picture for Coatings + Proceedings 2021-ALL Papers
Available for download

Construction companies will experience a crisis at some point during its existence.
This is especially true for construction companies, where it is not a matter of “if” one will happen but “when” it will happen. A crisis is the sudden occurrence of any unplanned or unexpected event that causes harm to the project /company, employees, or the public. The crisis could be a medical/safety emergency, a natural disaster, or personnel crisis dealing with unethical or illegal activities.
Construction companies must always operate with a “better safe than sorry” mindset. A proactive way to do so is to ensure that there is a crisis management plan in place.

(Coating Application, Types & Characteristics) Use of Duplex Coating Systems for Protection of Structural Steel

Product Number: 15-COAT_DEC21
Author: William D. Corbett
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

The use of duplex coating systems (hot dip galvanizing or thermal spray coating with one or more liquid-applied coatings) for long term protection of structural steel is becoming more mainstream in many industries. This paper describes the advantages of employing duplex coating systems as well as some important considerations for designers prior to specifying their use. It also highlights an ongoing initiative to help agencies more efficiently and effectively use duplex coatings on steel bridges by developing guidelines, standards, and other materials.

(Coating Formulation) Coatings on the Edge of Forever

Product Number: 12-COAT_DEC21
Author: Carl Reed / Kat Coronado
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

A continuing problem with coatings applied to sharp edges of a structure is the corrosion that often develops at the apex of the edge. The conventional wisdom is that the reduction of film thickness, due to coating pulling away at the edge during the curing of the coating, is the primary cause for the onset of corrosion. This theory, however, is not necessarily correct, both from a mechanistic and practical point of view.

(Coating Formulation) Can Low Zinc Epoxy Primers Work as Well as Traditional Zinc Rich Epoxy Primers

Product Number: 47-COAT_DEC21
Author: Alex Yagüe / Pinturas Hempel / David Morton
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

Zinc-rich primers, with zinc dust loadings of 80-85% by weight in the dry film, are often the preferred primer during new construction of assets placed in environments with high atmospheric corrosivity. Coating standards such as SSPC-Paint 20 and ISO 12944 demand that zinc-rich primers contain at least 65% and 80% zinc dust by weight in the final dry film, respectively. Traditional zinc rich primers need this high zinc loading to achieve galvanic protection of steel. New technology allows us to develop zinc primers with a lower content of zinc and/or different zinc morphology than dust to provide similar or better corrosion protection to the steel.
