Cleaning and Painting Techniques and Practices used on Commercial Stores

Cleaning and Painting Techniques and Practices used on Commercial Stores
Available for download

The following describes some equipment and practices used for cleaning and painting the variety of substrates found on commercial stores: concrete masonry units (CMU), precast and tilt-up panels, steel awnings and canopies, Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS), and polycarbonate. Many contributing factors can create either a fairly straightforward and simple process or a very complex project.

Many contributing factors can create either a fairly straightforward and simple process or a very complex project. Contractors and manufacturers must be able recognize the different situations, locations, conditions, substrates and adapt accordingly. Most commercial stores are constructed using a single Wythe wall that consists of CMU, precast panels, or tilt-up panels. The walls include steel columns, and ceilings and canopies consist of decking and joists. Although painting these substrates does not appear to be complicated at first glance, this could not be further from the truth.

In 2000 the National Science Foundation estimated that the market for nanotechnology products will be over one trillion US dollars by 2015 and that the industry would employ over 200 million workers. These numbers have been subsequently quoted from funding applications to government policy documents, but at the halfway point many of the revolutionary and disruptive technologies predicted have failed to emerge. Indeed, seven years on from the inception of the National Nanotechnology Initiative, there appears to be little sign of a nanotechnology-based industry, although significant amounts of R&D are being undertaken by various industries.

The construction of a major project such as a bridge can often provide significant challenges to say the least. These challenges are not always within the physical building or logistics of the bridge but often can be material related. One such challenge can be the curing of the materials on the project. To that end, Cianbro/Middlesex, a large industrial contractor, knew that they would need temporary climate control to meet the tight specifications for concrete curing during a construction project for the new Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge in New Haven, Conn.

Zebra mussels were first introduced in the United States in the 1980’s into the Great Lakes. The migration of the mussels west prompted the US Bureau of Reclamation to examine technologies that might reduce their impact on water resources infrastructure. Many new materials and coating products have been developed to deter the attachment of mussels to infrastructure. Our 2nd year of research investigated new foul release coatings technologies and fluorinated powder coatings for mussel control.
