This paper will discuss strategies for utilizing dehumidifiers and climate control equipment on blast and coat projects and will demonstrate how by their implementation, the contractor can be more successful by reducing overall job costs. We will take a brief look at the current core of climate control offerings. We will then examine how the manufactures of climate control equipment have tried to keep in step with the demands from the industry and of course, the customer.

NEPCOAT (Northeast Protective Coating Committee) developed an innovative approach for streamlining coating material testing and selection on a regional basis. Following their success, AASHTO took the concept nationwide within their NTPEP program.

Coating performance is related to the profile height on a steel surface. Three types of devices are available to take measurements of this surface profile: replica tape, depth micrometers fitted with pointed probes, and stylus roughness testers. This paper presents results from a recent analysis of measurements taken by the three device types on steel blasted with an assortment of blast media and proposes a new method of depth micrometer measurement called average of the maximum peaks.
Corrosion is a major concern for all materials during their service lives. In particular, salts such as sodium chloride (NaCl) are known to promote corrosion and detrimentally affect coating performance. Understanding how NaCl affects water uptake into a film and its interactions with corrosion-inhibiting pigments is important for developing the next generation of anticorrosive coatings.
