The paper is an overview of the NSRP Surface Preparation and Coating Panel’s (SPC) mission to reduce the cost of building, repairing and maintaining US Navy ships. It will showcase working and recently completed projects that have been implemented on the deck plates.
On October 4, 2011, SSPC held the inaugural meeting of a new committee developed to address commercial coatings and flooring issues. The committee is called, “C3 Commercial Coating Committee (Architectural, Commercial, Institutional).” The committee agreed to address five topic areas: field cleaning and painting, paint materials, flooring, thin film air/vapor barriers on Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU), and commercial contractor certification. Key concerns in each of the topic areas were identified which resulted in the following scopes and work activities.
Many bridge painting projects include steel repairs as part of the contract. Painting and steel repairs are performed by separate trades and often separate contractors. Even designers may see them as separate activities. However, steel repairs and coatings must work together and be installed as a system to perform as intended. This paper is a discussion about the process of installing steel repairs and painting a bridge at the same time.
This paper utilizes the painting, of the Vincent Thomas Bridge’s, east tower to highlight QC issues encountered during a spot prime, full overcoat paint project.
Major bridge rehabilitation projects may include painting of the steel superstructure in addition to deck replacement, expansion joint improvements, bearing replacement, etc. This paper will review the scheduling of the coatings work during a bridge rehabilitation project and how the order of coatings work affects the project schedule, cost, and quality.
Metal curtain wall and extrusions in prominent office buildings may need to be repainted either because the original factory applied finishes have dulled or because the owner wants to give the building a fresh look. Many monumental buildings are constructed with factory painted aluminum or steel cladding (curtain wall) and window extrusions. These buildings need to be repainted with field applied coatings that match the appearance and durability of the factory finishes.
There seems to be a trend for bridge owners to believe that applying all three coats of paint in the shop is more cost effective and will provide for a better coatings job on new steel. This paper will discuss the differences between shop coating and field painting and the pros and cons of shop applied coatings versus field applied coatings on new steel.
This paper will also discuss various cost differences between shop and field painting as it pertains to new steel and we will cover two case histories of Maryland State Highway Administration jobs which had all three coats of paint applied in the shop.
NEPCOAT (Northeast Protective Coating Committee) developed an innovative approach for streamlining coating material testing and selection on a regional basis. Following their success, AASHTO took the concept nationwide within their NTPEP program.
Bridge painting in the Northeast part of the country can be a challenge for the owner, their inspection staff and the contractor. Much the same as living in the northeast though a harsh winter, if planning and preparations are not done it could be a long cold season.
Building upon the balanced equifinality principle, the authors explore the placement and wording of the scope of work in painting specifications and specifications in general. Often the scope is buried in a thick labyrinth of complex legal requirements, general conditions, special terms, forms, attestations, and overly inclusive technical specifications which are in reality engineering standards.
