State Departments of Transportation let contracts for cleaning and application of protective coatings for steel bridge structures, but often lack staff with the training and knowledge to properly address technical issues that may arise on the project. The department’s engineering and inspection staff may be very skilled at administering a wide variety of construction contracts but lack the experience necessary to deal with the unique issues that often arise on painting projects.

The department’s engineering and inspection staff may be very skilled at administering a wide variety of construction contracts but lack the experience necessary to deal with the unique issues that often arise on painting projects. Third party consultant inspection and support can be used to supplement the department’s staff and effectively address complex issues as they arise during the course of a painting project.
The use of passive fire protection (PFP) materials plays an integral role in mitigating fire risk in commercial buildings. Traditional application of these materials has been on-site following the erection of structural steel. Their mechanical durability, exposure to weather and in-flexibility have been a major concern for construction managers and architects.

As a means of surface preparation for protective coatings, abrasive blasting provides proper surface roughness and increases the surface area, which are critical in achieving physical and chemical adhesion between steel surface and organic coatings. For application of high-performance coating in a new shipbuilding, the abrasive blasting cleaning is widely favored primarily because of its economic and performance benefits. The abrasive blasting, however, also requires the significant amount of labor hour, whereas its efficiency mainly depends on the blaster’s skill.
Statistical Process Control (SPC) has been implemented as a key component of Total Quality Initiatives with great success in every major industry worldwide. SPC is not commonplace in the industrial and commercial coatings application business. This paper introduces the audience to SPC and provides an example of it’s application in industrial coating surface preparation.
