Offshore coating systems have evolved over the past 50 years to allow for restrictions in raw material use and solvent emissions. This has meant that many tried and tested systems can no longer be used. This paper describes the industry in terms of attempts to generate suitable prequalification testing scenarios which will prevent premature failures of untried new systems
This paper identifies the unique steps taken to safely remove lead-based paint from a major highway/commuter railroad bridge connecting Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with Camden, New Jersey, followed by the application of a new long lasting protective coating system. The paper addresses project phasing by the owner and coordination with the commuter train to keep costs down and to minimize inconvenience to the public.
As an island nation, Japan is particularly dependent on the good health of its bridges to connect its different regions for commercial activities. In order to reduce maintenance cost and downtime for bridges, Japanese road authorities have looked to the use of longer lasting premium materials of construction.
This paper builds a case for trained, certified commercial painting contractors and applicators. It discusses SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings’ (SSPC’s) initiatives and progress in standards development for Commercial Contractor Certification and Commercial Certified Application Specialists.
The following describes some equipment and practices used for cleaning and painting the variety of substrates found on commercial stores: concrete masonry units (CMU), precast and tilt-up panels, steel awnings and canopies, Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS), and polycarbonate. Many contributing factors can create either a fairly straightforward and simple process or a very complex project.
Painting economics is a long-term issue. Understanding the financial side of our industry is important to gaining the necessary funding to support your work in corrosion mitigation and control. We will discuss how and why to economically evaluate coating project costs and lower facility O&M expenditures
To develop a Maintenance Coating Program encompassing cost justification for projects, pre-planning evaluation of safety and quality assurance programs. From two previous NACE Conference Papers.
Overcoating and other maintenance painting practices of the Texas Department of Transportation are discussed.
Premature failures of coatings applied to galvanized mast arms is not an unfamiliar problem. The properties of galvanizing that make it a difficult substrate to coat when new don’t simply disappear from beneath the original coating system.
Coatings maintenance projects are typically scheduled and selected based on ASTM rust grade, service environment - corrosion rate, coating condition and project visibility or aesthetics. There is something missing. That something is a risk-based assessment. This paper will demonstrate how to make a risk grid and accommodate this into condition assessment criteria for prioritizing and scheduling painting projects.
General Dynamics NASSCO proved that by modernizing its facilities and changing its operations it could build ships similarly to the industry leaders in Asia.
