The University of Kentucky’s Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) is working with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and the structural steel coating industry to develop a revolutionary tool to aid in the inspection of protective coatings applied to steel structures.

This paper will look at the evolution of coatings and linings in wastewater treatment and what has changed the way we look at protective coatings for concrete substrates. We will look at the coatings and linings used in the past, those used today, and what will be required in the future. The paper will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of varying coating types and why they are or are not still in use.
A new era of natural gas exploration is spreading across the continental United States and Canada. Through a technique called hydraulic fracturing (fracking), huge deposits of oil shale, like the Marcellus and Utica deposits that extend from the Appalachians and into Canada, are now producing enough gas to meet North America’s needs for the next 14 years. The boom in gas exploration has opened up new markets for pipeline and joint coating materials to provide corrosion protection.
It is well known that corrosion has a significant impact on sustainment, system costs, and system availability to the warfighter. Mitigating such impacts is one of the greatest drivers to DoD Science &Technology (S&T) requirements and therefore research programs.
Often times, protective coatings for equipment and packages come as an afterthought; therefore, a Coatings Specialist is not always included in early purchasing discussions. Lack of the Coating Specialist participation in the preliminary workflow does not necessarily equate directly to a “bad outcome”, however there are fundamental details which, if highlighted early, can make a significant difference in the procurement process resulting in cost savings and competitive bids.
The NACE International Institute Contractor Accreditation Program (NIICAP) is an industry managed accreditation program that validates a contractor's quality assurance program, support practices, and production processes.
SSPC established the Coating Application Specialist (CAS) Certification Program for industrial painters in 2008, at present there are 8 standards for applicators. It includes QP1 FIELD APPLICATION TO COMPLEX INDUSTRIAL AND MARINE STRUCTURES, QP2 FIELD REMOVAL OF HAZARDOUS COATINGS and QP3 SHOP PAINTING ACCREDITATION PROGRAM.
One of the most important and overlooked aspects of the coating project is the documentation of events and conditions as they occur. This paper will discuss the importance of documentation as well as new methods of accomplishing this and other tasks using new wireless technology.
Traditionally, a zinc-rich primer, epoxy midcoat and polyurethane topcoat have been the standard 3-coat solvent borne system used for coating structural steel, such as in the maintenance of bridges. This study describes the performance of waterborne acrylic coating systems in an accelerated testing protocol including corrosion resistance and cyclic weathering. A comparison of systems based solely on waterborne acrylic coatings, as well as hybrid systems (e.g., zinc rich primer with waterborne topcoats), to the industry standard will be discussed.
Over recent years there have been interesting developments in the way marine coatings and linings are specified that have unwittingly resulted in a situation that can make it challenging to meet a paint specification as currently written.

The proper use of barrier coating technology as part of the mold and mildew remediation process is discussed, along with the properties the appropriate barrier coating should exhibit.
Protective coatings are ubiquitous on offshore oil structures. As with most situations, the use of coatings is driven by myriad factors unique to the industry. The paper will provide an overview of the types of structures, the coatings used in different zones of the structures, and the pragmatic and regulatory criteria which influence the coating process.
