Available for download

Houston’s water system serves more than 4.5 million people regionally and produces more than 146 billion gallons of treated water every year. The city has more than 300 above-grade water line crossings, some of which have been in service for over 75 years. In 2012, Houston Public Works (HPW) implemented a program to inspect every above-grade water line crossing across the city.

 Houston’s water system serves more than 4.5 million people regionally and produces more than 146 billion gallons of treated water every year. The city has more than 300 above-grade water line crossings, some of which have been in service for over 75 years. In 2012, Houston Public Works (HPW) implemented a program to inspect every above-grade water line crossing across the city. Over 200 crossings were identified as needing repair or rehabilitation, and of those crossings, 21 were considered large diameter, or 24-inches in diameter and larger. In cooperation with HPW and the Surface Water Transmission Program (SWTP), a comprehensive field assessment was performed on these 21 crossings, and criteria was developed to address the deficiencies.

Using dehumidification for coatings and preservation has been a widely accepted practice for several decades. Over that time, both the coatings and the dehumidification equipment have grown in complexity. While this has made dehumidification more prevalent than ever, it also has made determining what you need as well as actually getting what you need more complicated than ever.

For a coatings project to become a Successful Coatings Project, the coatings specification should be clear and concise to be useful to the intended audience. The contractor, the owner and any other parties should be able to find and understand key elements such as the scope, surface preparation (including the appropriate standards) and the specified coating or lining system with the approved alternates.

The presentation will discuss the challenges, overall objective and unique characteristics of the viscous-elastic semi-solid compound and bolt cap protection system. Testing, installation procedures and previous projects will be covered. One of the projects to be covered is the system used to protect the support rods of the recently constructed San Francisco Bay Bridge connecting Oakland to San Francisco. The bridge made the news prior to opening when it was determined that a portion of the support rods were experiencing fatigue and showing signs of premature failure.
