This paper presents the diagnostic work undertaken to determine the cause of failing coating and spalling block on the exterior of a commercial building in northern Illinois. The field assessment methods used to diagnose the problems including non-destructive and destructive methods for determining moisture content in the masonry, infrared thermography, and visual assessments are described. Modeling using WUFI® is also presented. WUFI® was used as an aid in establishing the cause of the failures and in determining whether the existing coating system, by virtue of permeance, should be overcoated or removed and replaced.

A long-term project such as the current Brooklyn Bridge Rehabilitation Program, known as Brooklyn Bridge Contract 6, presents a great opportunity to collect vast amounts of data and records relating to the total coating replacement on a historic landmark. On any project, especially one of this scope, the project team has to deal with many obstacles, both expected and unexpected, and significant unknowns.
Industrial and marine protective coating systems are most commonly applied without incident and perform as expected over their anticipated service life. However, occasionally, a coating system will fail prematurely, for unexpected reasons, and with expensive consequences. This paper addresses those unexpected failures and provides reasons and remedies for such occurrences.
