Degrading Sewage Pipes an Opportunity for Contractors

Degrading Sewage Pipes an Opportunity for Contractors
Available for download

The EPA estimates it will cost $390 billion over the next 20 years to repair or replace the crumbling wastewater infrastructure. Replacing infrastructure is costly, and in light of current economic conditions and worldwide budget cuts, often impossible to do. Alternatively, the use of single coat, fast cure high performance epoxy linings to rehabilitate sewage pipelines instead of replacing them will save municipalities considerable money and time, making it not only possible but practical for municipalities to protect their local environments today from sewage leaks.

Alternatively, the use of single coat, fast cure high performance epoxy linings to rehabilitate sewage pipelines instead of replacing them will save municipalities considerable money and time, making it not only possible but practical for municipalities to protect their local environments today from sewage leaks. Contractors can assist municipalities in stretching their maintenance budgets and protecting the environment by offering their skills for high performance coating and lining application to local municipalities. In this paper we will highlight one such contractor that won the rehabilitation projects of 2 cities, Denham Springs, Louisiana and Coconut Creek, Florida and was able to economically solve each city’s corrosion protection and restoration needs.

The Department of National Defence (DND) in Canada has implemented a revised maintenance program for aircraft weapon systems whose goal is to ensure that essential maintenance is accomplished and to assure the continued airworthiness of aeronautical products during in-service operation. The program especially affects legacy aircraft. A case study is being presented where an adhesion failure was detected during a scheduled inspection.

Selecting the most appropriate protective coating for the exterior of steel wind towers involves balancing the variables of production and protection to maximize profitability. The coating solution that maximizes production and protection while realizing a profitability that is equal to or greater than owner expectations is an organic zinc-rich epoxy primer and polyaspartic urethane topcoat.
