Key qualification and testing requirements, as well as a full implementation process as outlined within the ASME PCC-22, Article 4.1, Nonmetallic Composite Repair Systems: High Risk Applications.
In this paper, the influence of various side-groove root configurations on critical stress intensity factor for sulfide stress cracking (KISSC) and finite-element analysis (FEA) results were focused upon.
This paper will address both existing and new air barrier technology. Manufacturers, engineers, architects, trade professionals, and testing agencies will learn essential features of this emerging industry. Manufacturers will learn about the material properties and product performance requirements of air barrier coatings. Engineers and architects will learn basic building science principals required to create an air barrier utilizing coatings.
Asbestos containing textured coatings and other various asbestos containing components are not often thought of as being used on bridges. However, their use on bridges, especially concrete bridges is widespread in some regions and because of this, specific regulatory compliance is required. Knowing how to comply and how proper abatement is performed will keep the contractors and facility owners in compliance, avoid associated liabilities, provide proper employee safety and keep bridge maintenance projects on schedule.
With over 5 million respirator users in approximately 1.3 million United States workplaces, Respiratory Protection is a perennial “Top 5” most cited OSHA violation. 2013 saw 3,995 violations, taking fourth place and increasing 64% from 2012 (also the fourth-most cited standard) (1). The number one reason for citation – lack of a written program. 29CFR1910.134 is the OSHA standard that covers Respiratory Protection (2). A written program is required in any workplace where respirators are necessary to protect the health of the employee or whenever respirators are required by the employer.
This paper summarizes environmental health and safety compliance issues as they relate to coatings projects. It summarizes control measures that should be taken to protect employees from exposure to agents such as silica, methylene chloride, n-methyl 2 pyrolidone, lead, and asbestos. Best practices are discussed. This information is taken from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists.
This paper will address the new requirements of the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code for the building envelope, which requires careful design to limit uncontrolled air leakage into and out of buildings.
Management and operating teams, across all industries, but especially inside asset management organizations, must increasingly rely on data-driven assessment and analytics for decision making. Clearly, inefficiency and ineffectiveness associated with manual or poorly optimized business processes and fragmented business management Infrastructures is a barrier to formulating the safest, most efficient and cost effective asset management and operational decisions. According to Deloitte’s digital maturity analysis, the midstream industry and specially the pipeline sector is in its lowest stages of digital adoption (first 20-30% progress).
The European regulation known as REACH has completely revamped the way U.S. companies export into the European market. On June 1, 2007 the REACH legislation was accepted into law and is applicable to 27 EU members and 3 non-EU members. In order for the U.S. to be able to sell protective coatings to these countries the companies must comply with the REACH legislation.
This paper takes a look at emerging environmental, health and safety issues that may impact painting contactors and facility owners. Specific topics include OSHA’s proposed revisions to the Hazard Communications standard, updated information on silica and hexavalent chromium, and expected rule making in 2010. Additionally, information will be provided on EPA regulatory actions related to NAAQS Lead and PM2.5 and other EPA regulations. Much of the information is taken directly from the respective agency’s published regulatory agenda, supplemented by anecdotal information gathered from various professional journals, seminars and conferences.
