There are several design factors that need to be considered when specifying coatings in water and wastewater concrete structures. Issues include treating surfaces with exposed aggregate, with a low pH, and exposed reinforcing steel. This paper will present three examples of important design considerations based on field experiences that can avert lining performance problems and impacts on a project schedule or budget. Specific examples from a number of projects will be used to illustrate these design considerations.
This presentation briefly updates a two-part article printed in Water Engineering & Management in 2001. It begins with the benefits of waterborne coatings and gives examples of where they may be used.

Concrete is inherently durable – nevertheless, deterioration occurs when subjected to weathering or aggressive environments. For many years, coatings have been applied for aesthetic purposes. In the water and wastewater environment concrete is protected primarily for structural purposes. The increasing use of steel reinforced concrete in modern day construction has led to a growing demand for concrete being structurally protected in all types of industry.
Coating application projects require coordination and communication between the owner, specifier, coating manufacturer, and applicator in order to succeed.
