Many people ask what is the difference in painting a CMU Block Building versus a concrete tilt wall building? And why is it the preferred building type of the big box stores? First, we must understand the real difference in construction of the two building types, to better understand the types of coating systems that work best on the specific substrates to be coated.

At a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), the security, training, and safety requirements are quite complex when compared to industrial or commercial facilities. Security requirements start with the completion of an extensive personnel qualification and employment history questionnaire followed by background screening, and security program training. Safety in a NPP includes nuclear safety in addition to the typical industrial safety training.
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.
Contract coatings work in the Commercial Nuclear Industry is quite different than coatings work in other industries. The physical coatings work performed at a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) is no different than physical coatings work at any other facility. However, the regulatory, administrative, quality and qualification requirements can be substantially different.
Concrete repair is a neglected primary example of sustainable construction and green building practices. Sustainability in construction is a topic of increasing importance. Concrete has high embodied energy and much documentation exists about the sustainable nature of concrete in new construction. Concrete maintenance, protection, and repair are the ultimate acts of sustainability in construction because they preserve this embodied energy. Rating systems should be adopted to better capture the sustainable nature of concrete preservation
This presentation will define what a containment / work platform is for the removal of lead paint for steel structures. Additional topics of discussion will include the design process for containment systems, submission requirements/reviews, containment system installation, and quality control procedures and component review and acceptance in the field by Engineers and Inspectors.
The paper provides a review about the corrosion and corrosion protection of offshore wind energy devices (OWEA) with a focus on the support structure. Firstly, special features resulting from location and operation of wind energy devices offshore are being discussed. This includes the definition of a load collective. Secondly, types of corrosion and corrosion phenomena are summarized in a systematic way.
This a basic profile to help in making a decision if getting into the Military coating business is good for you.
Currently the shipbuilding industry is seeking to minimize to improve corrosion protection provided to the structures which comprise the Water Ballast Tanks (WBT’s) of a vessel. At the design stage two factors could reduce the carbon footprint of the coating process through life material selection and optimizing the structural design to facilitate the coating process and maintenance processes. Thus, the design stage exerts considerable influence on these two elements and can determine the through life costs and environmental penalties of maintaining the structure.
The fundamental purpose of protective coatings and linings has always been the protection of structures from the degradation due to environmental and service conditions. While that remains to be the case, coatings are increasingly evaluated on their environmental, health, and safety effects as well as the various operational efficiencies they offer.
The paper reports about the results of laboratory investigations on edges prepared with different tools and painted with different coating systems for applications in water ballast tanks. The laboratory test scenarios were already described in a presentation delivered at PACE 2010, and this paper is the second part of that presentation.
