Neptune Bulk Terminals in Vancouver, British Columbia needed to re-coat two of its ocean-going Potash Ship Loader conveyors within a 27-day window to prevent interruption of international ship loading schedules. The contractor elected to use ultra high pressure water jetting (UHPWJ) for the steel surface preparation rather than the sand blast medium used on the previous loader conveyors. This required innovative desiccant dehumidification equipment to facilitate rapid drying of the steel upon completion of the UHPWJ work due to an increased moisture load.

This required innovative desiccant dehumidification equipment to facilitate rapid drying of the steel upon completion of the UHPWJ work due to an increased moisture load. Use of climate control equipment assured that critical SSPC surface preparation standards were met and also eliminated any delays due to introduced moisture issues, or weather. The project was completed within the project window and met or exceeded all project timelines.
A new software system has been developed to allow a plan to be created for the inspection tasks associated with the coating processes for a steel structure. This system uses a coatings library to create the coating systems that are to be applied to various user-defined zones of the structure. These zones are identified on a schematic drawing of the structure and then the coating systems and inspection regimes that are required can be associated with these zones.

Successful repair material and coating applications are dependent on proper concrete surface preparation where different technologies and methods must be reviewed and characterized, as well as quality control methods used to increase the successful application of materials applied to existing concrete surfaces.
Building materials are routinely tested for flammability. Paints are also evaluated for flammability but because of their typical low applied thickness, coatings contribute very little fuel to a fire and do not normally need to be fire tested. Coatings, unless they are specially formulated fire protective coatings, like intumescent coatings, do not significantly affect the flammability of the substrate to which they are applied. It is the substrate rather than the coating which dictates the flammability. Thick film coatings, however, can influence surface flammability.
