Optimisation of maintenance and inspection programmes through risk analysis can be used for coating maintenance. The risk picture can be described by 1) Scenario, 2) Frequencies, and 3) Consequences, for protective coatings. A systematic approach for optimisation of the maintenance programme has been developed.

Presence of surface rust is normally assumed to decrease the performance of coatings. In this work various maintenance coatings were applied on pre-rusted steel cleaned by two different power tools: rotating disc and rotating steel brush.
Outdoor tests and accelerated weathering experiments have been carried out to confirm the weathering performance of coating systems with ambient cure fluoro-polymer topcoats. The results showed that the protective performance of such coating systems was superior to other topcoats such as polyurethane coating.
Fitness for purpose of low temperature cure liquid-applied coating systems for pipeline maintenance and repair. Potential revisions to incorporate low temperature cure liquid-applied coating products into Table 1 of CSA Z245.30-14 will be presented along with commentary related to the deviations from the standard.
An update to “Expected Service Life and Cost Considerations for Maintenance and New Construction Protective Coating Work” 2016. Identifying candidate protective coating systems for specific environments.
An overview on lessons learned with high-performance polyurethane elastomers coatings in Alberta oil sands service, from material properties, operating conditions, wear data, to useful life and cost savings. Wear monitoring system with no perforation of the pipe wall is discussed.
This paper describes a bridge coating operation and maintenance manual that was developed for the City of Vancouver which operates and maintains an inventory of 33 bridges with coated steel elements.
A polished concrete floor project can be a very rewarding experience, as well as a tough lesson. Experience in the field and following certain guidelines can make a job much more rewarding and cost effective. Cutting corners or a misdiagnosis of the floor itself and/or environment can yield disastrous and costly results. In this article, we will walk you through the basic steps along with a complete overview of polished concrete. We will examine all steps, including environment, concrete diagnosis, grinding, densifying, polishing, color, and of course, maintenance.
There are a number of petrochemical plants that experience equipment failure and production loss due to corrosion. Proper maintenance of their existing equipment greatly reduces a plant’s down time therefore allowing production to continue. For those facilities that do not have an existing maintenance-painting program, we have developed a beginners / non-technical program guide that is easy to understand and implement as it addresses many plant’s existing and future coating systems.
There are many companies focusing on the emerging wind generation maintenance market. As the segment matures there has been a shift to more traditional industrial access methods that provide improved cost structure, better access for workers, improved safety and higher production rates. This discussion will focus on new suspended platform configurations and methods that have been designed for the wind tower and blade access market, improving the safety, quality, productivity and profitability for the maintenance contractor.
The Brazilian cost of corrosion was estimated at 3% of the GPD in 2018, that percentage is equivalent to approximately $US 49 billion, according to an ABRACO(1) journal released in 2020.1 It is estimated that from this cost $US 19 billion could have been saved through anticorrosive actions. In another research conducted by the EPRI(2) the results showed that at least 22% of corrosion costs could be avoided through adequate mitigating actions.2
