The repair and restoration of deteriorated wood siding, trim, and ornamental plaster on the exteriors of older buildings is one of the cornerstones of what is called a “Painting Restoration”.

“Tilt-up" is a state-of-the-art building system in which steel reinforced concrete panels are cast on site and tilted up into their final position. The tilt-up panels are load bearing and also function as cladding elements. With the exceptions of integrally colored concrete, tilt-up concrete panels can look bare and unattractive if a finish is not applied. It is also well known that concrete is not a “perfect” material as it shows porosity and micro-cracks which can lead to deterioration over time.

This paper identifies the problems with large multi-year painting projects and discusses the benefit to Facility Owners and Contractors for breaking a large bridge project into smaller phases. It will also discuss factors that determine the optimum size, large or small, of a painting project and their impacts. The size of a project will be analyzed from the standpoint of money, time, insurance, bonding, manpower, inspection, management, bridge inventory and job quality.
Anchor profile achieved during field blast cleaning operations is often found to be deeper than expected, even when available information suggests the size of the abrasive selected was appropriate.
