Corrosion control and other organizational-level maintenance on U.S. Navy ships consume significant maintenance dollars and labor resources, while negatively affecting Sailors’ quality of life. The mission of the Preservation Team Initiative is to relieve Ship’s Force from performing selected preservation by utilizing qualified contractors, implementing best commercial engineering and technology practices, and using the most advanced coating systems approved for Navy use.
Corrosion control and other organizational-level maintenance on U.S. Navy ships consume significant maintenance dollars and labor resources, while negatively affecting Sailors’ quality of life. The mission of the Preservation Team Initiative is to relieve Ship’s Force from performing selected preservation by utilizing qualified contractors, implementing best commercial engineering and technology practices, and using the most advanced coating systems approved for Navy use. To manage this sizable effort and its associated contracts, the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) championed the development of a web-based data entry, retrieval, and archival system. This central website is able to accept paperless submissions of pertinent preservation data, from production to quality assurance (QA), by all major program entities. The database’s benefits include instantaneous data recall and analysis to provide near real-time metrics on coating system application, volume of preservation, production efficiency and costs, and contractor performance.
Occasionally, the protective coatings on a structure reach a life span of 20 years. Quite often when this happens, one of the companies involved in the project, either the coating supplier or coating applicator, will publish pictures of the bridge or tank in a trade magazine as if the project was a great achievement. If instead, we accept the premise that most of the resins used to manufacture protective coatings easily remain stable for 20 years, we should ask ourselves the question, “why aren’t all of the coating systems lasting 20 years?”
