National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) Surface Preparation and Coatings (SP&C) Panel 2015 Updated

The paper is an overview of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) Surface Preparation and Coating Panel’s (SP&C) mission to reduce the cost of construction, maintenance, and repair of US Navy ships. The Panel’s “Specs to Decks” approach; research, evaluate, develop, and sustain current and emerging technologies that will reduce cost and maintain or enhance quality, serves as a rudder that guides the Panel’s performance.

The paper is an overview of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) Surface Preparation and Coating Panel’s (SP&C) mission to reduce the cost of construction, maintenance, and repair of US Navy ships. The Panel’s “Specs to Decks” approach; research, evaluate, develop, and sustain current and emerging technologies that will reduce cost and maintain or enhance quality, serves as a rudder that guides the Panel’s performance. This review will provide a summary of the Panel and a look at some of its implemented, current, and proposed projects. The utilization of Retention of Pre-Construction Primer (PCP) and Robust Paperless Paint (Phase I) will allow Shipyards to reduce the cost of coatings ships and the documentation of work done during the coatings process. Robust Paperless Paint (Phase II) and the utilization of the Latest Digital Inspection Tools will ensure that Shipyards have the tools needed to meet requirements while enhancing the coating process by reducing human errors. The proposed projects: Universal Primer, Particular Blast, and Alternative Corrosion Control Methods for Inaccessible Voids, will further enable the Yards to continue to improve their overall performance, while sharing best practices and learning from each other. The focus of these efforts is to reduce the cost of shipbuilding while maintaining quality.
