Asset owners spend significant monies each year on the construction of new and the maintenance of existing infrastructure. More than ever, these funds can be difficult to procure and budget. The owners include, both municipal and industrial entities and funds are limited in most cases, therefore, asset service life is very important to all parties.

The purpose of this presentation is to introduce you to low-pressure, ambient temperature spraying of polyurea and to discuss the advantages of low-pressure spray equipment. Some of the inherent advantages are equipment cost, ease of use, less over-spray, and equipment mobility. This presentation will be divided into several key areas. We will examine features and benefits, general equipment specifications, capabilities, operation of the system, typical periodic maintenance requirements and examples of available options.
The construction of a major project such as a bridge can often provide significant challenges to say the least. These challenges are not always within the physical building or logistics of the bridge but often can be material related. One such challenge can be the curing of the materials on the project. To that end, Cianbro/Middlesex, a large industrial contractor, knew that they would need temporary climate control to meet the tight specifications for concrete curing during a construction project for the new Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge in New Haven, Conn.
During uncertain economic times like these, barge owners look to new economics and efficiencies to continue to grow business or their bottom line. One manufacturer examined barge restoration, reworked operations and applied progressive technologies to increase restoration speed and quality all while cutting costs.
For each sample project, the service environment (i.e. exposure conditions) and anticipated maintenance painting sequence needs to be defined. The service environments correspond to ISO 12944-2, “Classification of Environments.” The referenced paper (referred to as the Paper) presents a sequence for typical maintenance painting.
This sequence includes the follow steps:
Original PaintingSpot Touch-Up and Repair (1 or 2 cycles)Maintenance Repaint [spot prime and full coat] (1 or 2 cycles)Full Repaint [total coating removal and replacement]
Whether we choose to recognize it or not, every company has a safety culture that continuously changes, and even rebrands itself from time to time. An opportunity for safety performance improvement is created by choosing to recognize the need and manage the rebranding of the culture. The concept of a safety culture can be divided into broad and narrow aspects.
Case study: A Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage facility in northern Alberta, Canada is examined as it experienced two very similar failures in heat exchanger tubes within 2 years of each other due to a boiler feedwater tank without a nitrogen blanket and a low flow condition.
