The City Public Service Board of San Antonio, Texas (CPS Energy) is the largest municipally owned gas and electric utility company in the nation. CPS Energy owns a fleet of power generation plants with a combined output of over 4,500 MW. In 2011, CPS initiated an Asset Corrosion-Protection Program for its power generating facilities to proactively protect its assets from coating degradation and premature corrosion. CPS Energy utilized the services of an independent expert coatings consultant to assess the surfaces throughout all of their power generation facilities. The overarching goal of the assessment was to identify areas exhibiting excessive corrosion, establish recommendations for remediation over a five-year period, and develop cost estimates for the recommendations. This paper details the asset protection program project from conception to completion.
Those who started in the industrial painting industry back in the 1980s may remember that third-party inspectors, hired by the owner, performed all of the inspection activities and documentation. The NACE Coating Inspection Program (CIP) had just begun in the early 80s, but those getting certified did not work for a contractor. That has changed. Now contractor quality control (QC) and owner quality assurance (QA) are much more clearly defined.
