We often make decisions in haste, using poor factoring, not thinking through all the variables, ignoring risk, and a great number of other things we won’t mention right now but you can imagine. What decisions or effort do we do daily that could be enhanced by better decisions, and by default better process. A decision is made up of pieces, each piece providing a building block to the end. What pieces we use make a difference.
Steel surfaces are frequently cleaned by abrasive impact prior to the application of protective coatings. The resultant surface profile must be accurately assessed to ensure compliance with job or contract specifications. But is profile height alone (the most commonly measured parameter) a good indicator of long-term coating performance?

In restoration cleaning of historic masonry, you usually know based on contaminants and building fabric what kind of cleaner will be effective on a dirty building. You’ll use one type of restoration cleaner for atmospheric staining, and another for biological soiling. You’ll have an idea, going in, what kind of restoration cleaner to at least try. Not having that kind of information, in my experience, is what makes paint removal from historic – or just old – masonry the most challenging branch of restoration cleaning.
Sustainable concrete repair products can extend the time in between repair cycles and increase the service life of a structure. This will discuss the fact that based on 10+ years of field and laboratory testing, organofunctional silane corrosion inhibitors are effective at corrosion mitigation, thus decreasing the frequency and extent of repairs. Evaluation on new concrete also showed a predicted increase in time to corrosion initiation when compared to untreated reinforced concrete specimens. Modeling results were verified in a 2-year laboratory study.
