Preparing and Lining Concrete For Immersion Service Steps and Procedures To Avoid Failures

Preparing and Lining Concrete For Immersion Service Steps and Procedures To Avoid Failures
Available for download

The practice of lining concrete substrates has increased exponentially over the past thirty (30) years, most notably in the wastewater treatment industry. Environmental regulations, coupled with changes to treatment processes, have resulted in far more severe environments in which concrete can and will corrode.

The practice of lining concrete substrates has increased exponentially over the past thirty (30) years, most notably in the wastewater treatment industry. Environmental regulations, coupled with changes to treatment processes, have resulted in far more severe environments in which concrete can and will corrode. Other than the floor coating field, very few Contractors “specialize” in preparing and lining concrete structures as carbon steel lining opportunities far outweigh those of concrete substrates. Accordingly, the majority of craft workers both young and old have far more training and experience preparing and lining steel substrates. It has been the author’s observation that many of the aforementioned craft workers, and in many cases management personnel, do not fully comprehend the difficulty and distinctions inherent to a concrete lining project. A lack of understanding and experience extends beyond the contracting level. Many Engineers, Consultants, and Inspectors do not fully comprehend the idiosyncrasies of lining concrete. When all the aforementioned parties converge upon a complex lining project, the potential for a perfect storm exists. This paper examines many of the common errors that can be avoided and offers practical solutions for prevention.

In this paper, failure analysis methodology will be applied to the principal mechanisms by which FBE coatings fail during long term service; with specific application to case studies involving blistering. The case studies apply standard failure analysis techniques to determine the primary causes and modes of failures.

Proof of Concept for an Adhesion Measurement Device to Predict Overcoating Failures in the Field

Overcoating an existing bridge coating system can be an economical solution to maintain bridges.  Overcoating eliminates the costs for removal of old, often hazardous coating systems that were possibly applied years ago.  However, prior to the overcoating process, it is necessary to establish that the existing coating is well adhered to the substrate.  Coatings with inadequate adhesion must be removed.  Unfortunately, though some standard test methods are available, the determination of a well-adhered coating is not an exact science.

Every year millions of dollars are spent litigating the responsibility issues associated with the repair or replacement of coated products that have prematurely lost their decorative or protective value due to improper coating specification or application. Many of these failures could have been avoided if the proper finishing materials and methods were specified, followed, certified and documented.
