While the coatings on commercial buildings may be less sophisticated than those used on industrial structures, the contractors face challenges that in many ways are equal to or greater than their industrial counterparts.

This paper presents case histories on two commercial projects that incorporated industrial surface preparation, application and quality control standards and procedures into the work plans to achieve successful results. Highlights of SSPC audits for QP-8 and QP-9 recertification on the projects will also be discussed.
In many instances, concrete needs to be repaired and waterproofed prior to coating. General practices apply across many different market segments. Vertical, horizontal and overhead repair scenarios have many things in common and a variety of repair products to consider depending on jobsite conditions, time frame and ultimate exposure of the repair materials (chemicals, weather, movement, etc.). The purpose of this paper will be to outline, in general terms, different types of repair scenarios that have a proven track record and are available for owners, engineers/architects, and contractors to utilize.
Successful repair material and coating applications are dependent on proper concrete surface preparation. Different surface preparation technologies and quality control methods are reviewed to increase the successful application of materials applied to existing concrete surfaces.
Successful repair material and coating applications are dependent on proper concrete surface preparation where different technologies and methods must be reviewed and characterized, as well as quality control methods used to increase the successful application of materials applied to existing concrete surfaces.
The installation of linings to large diameter cooling pipes and penstocks is a major investment in hydroelectric and other power plants. The application should be performed in an expedient manner to minimize outage time and should last for many years (20 years or more) without the need for maintenance painting.
The paper provides a review about the corrosion and corrosion protection of offshore wind energy devices (OWEA) with a focus on the support structure. Firstly, special features resulting from location and operation of wind energy devices offshore are being discussed. This includes the definition of a load collective. Secondly, types of corrosion and corrosion phenomena are summarized in a systematic way.
Marine coating systems installed aboard commercial and military vessels are exposed to extremely aggressive environmental conditions during maritime operation. A key element in prolonging the useful life of any ship, both commercial and military, lies in the selection and installation of cost-effective corrosion control methods and materials at newbuild.
Using dehumidification in shipyards has been a widely accepted practice for three decades. A lot has been learned and techniques have become much more sophisticated but the basic goal of preserving the blasted steel and creating the right conditions for coatings application remains the same. This paper discusses how various combinations of desiccant dehumidification, heating and cooling equipment have been utilized properly and some examples of when things did not work out so well.
The drive to embellish and beautify our surroundings is a human motivation that bridges both culture and time. From vases to vaulted ceilings, across the globe we captivate ourselves with ornament, decorating the objects that we create, the homes we live in and the spaces in which we work and worship. Examples of decorative painting can be found from the earliest moments of man’s existence and have evolved throughout history in synchronicity with our life styles; expressing our tastes, our status, our standards and values.
The use of passive intumescent fireproofing solutions to meet life & safety goals for commercial structures continues to grow in number annually. More often facility owners are required to incorporate fire proofing protection for up to three hours in order to assure the safe departure of individuals inside the given building in the event of an emergency.
The authors look toward the future of specifying coating projects starting with the traditional prescriptive, means-and-methods, coating formula-based specifications. The popular qualified product list (QPL) approach is presented along with its drawbacks. The design/build (DB) ideal and limitations of specifying only performance is presented.
