In the 1920's the Ford Motor Company commissioned architect Albert Kahn to design regional automobile assembly plants. The largest on the West Coast was built in Richmond CA. With over 500,000 square feet of floor space under one roof it is still today the largest single building on San Francisco Bay. During the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake this National Historic Building was severely damaged to the point that it could not be occupied. This paper tells the tale of how due to incredible time restraints an Olympian effort was needed to retrofit and restore this national treasure to a usable commercial building.
Graffiti resistant polyurethanes have been developed that do not contain surface energy modifiers such as fluorine or silicone compounds. These coatings are made from a two-component polyurethane that includes polyacrylate polyols and water dispersible polyisocyanates. The use of two components allows one to make highly crosslinked polymers with minimal organic co-solvent.

When Marsden Point Oil Refinery in New Zealand needed to reline 3 steel crude oil storage tanks, the engineers began a search for a lining with the necessary properties to provide a long-term solution.
A large copper mine and refinery in the western United States had a dilemma. Their cell house, which contains over 1,500 cells, each holding more than 20,000 gallons of electrolyte, had experienced severe corrosion and structural degradation of the support columns for the tanks. These columns support the cells in their solvent extraction and electrowinning process.
