Concrete sludge mixing and storage tanks in wastewater treatment plants can be exposed to corrosive environments. Protective linings are the best solution to this problem. But there are a number of design considerations based on this author’s experience that are not readily obvious at the outset.

Thick-film elastomeric coating / lining systems have excellent performance characteristics in a variety of potable water lining work, including the polyurea spray elastomer technology. While some have cast doubt on the suitability of a polyurea system for immersion applications, there are a variety of commercial products with the NSF/ASNI-61 certification for potable water use that are performing quite well.
The Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) is currently investigating the feasibility of using foul-release coatings to mitigate impacts caused by macro-fouling organisms such as zebra and quagga mussels. Durability of these coatings must be considered as a factor in determining overall life cycle costs. To this end, the Bureau of Reclamation has developed testing protocols to evaluate the durability of foul-release coatings with respect to abrasion, erosion resistance and the ability to overcoat existing equipment.
The Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) conducted a study funded by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) to assess the impact of chlorides on bridge coatings performance.
Success with the elite sailing world coincided with a renewed interest in the rest of the marine industry to find high performance, non-toxic coatings for commercial and recreational ship hulls. It begged the question of could the technology be applicable to shipping where clean hulls, fuel efficiency and durability are the primary performance requirements.
The World Trade Center (WTC) Transportation Hub is a multi-billion-dollar project comprising WTC Tower One, the train station, and retail space. The structural steel and architectural elements require long-term corrosion and fire protection. The design of the buildings and various architectural elements within them presented many difficulties to providing the desired end-result.
Highly durable fluoropolymer coatings also generally have very good “stay-clean” properties. For this class of coatings, many of the factors contributing to stay-clean properties and exterior durability are linked. We will review these factors and examine particularly their role in affecting the properties of coatings based on the new waterborne fluoropolymer-acrylic hybrid technology. Using these principles, realistic estimates of the service life of these premium coatings can be determined.
When selecting among decorative or functional/protective architectural coatings many factors need to be considered; one key aspect is how long the product will last (weather). A “ten year” warranty is neither a guarantee of total replacement cost nor that all “ten year” products are created equal.
The purpose of this seminar is to inform and educate architects, engineers, and other specifiers about hot-dip galvanized steel and how it can address the growing corrosion problem throughout North America.
A new method within surface preparation, setting new standards within an industry struggling to keep up with increased Health, safety and environmental issues.
The benefits of concrete floor polishing include creation of a durable finish with modest maintenance requirements and compliance with principals of green construction. At the same time, however, there must be rigorous adherence to proper procedures in the creation of a concrete polished finish. The presentation describes the benefits of polished concrete and explains what can go wrong and why it sometimes happens.
