This presentation will focus on the performance and aesthetic issues encountered when painting masonry surfaces. Contractors will also learn how to cost-effectively add color and improve appearance and weather protection to masonry jobs. Objectives of the presentation are: education on proper surface preparation, how to select an appropriate coating for a long-lasting finish and new coating technology.

The primary structure of many outdoor baseball parks and football stadiums is exposed structural steel. These facilities are often located in major cities in areas that may present challenges in control of corrosion. The challenge is also manifested in the fact that the structural steel frame becomes an architectural feature which must be maintained as an aesthetic element.
An understanding of the relationship between color and our environment remains an area in which much research has been conducted; yet, we are ever fascinated with the topic of color and the nuances it has yet to unfold. Our work aims to begin a dialogue regarding color trends, color application in an environment, the psychological impact of color and an understanding of the balance between these philosophies.
Cracks in a concrete substrate pose a challenge for coatings. Cracks that are not properly identified and addressed can lead to premature failure of the coating. This paper will discuss the forces that cause cracking in concrete structures, as well as crack types and repair techniques.
The coatings industry has gone through many changes. High-performance coatings have advanced to a point where they can be applied in almost any condition under nearly any circumstance to protect and increase the life expectancy of a steel structure.
Much of the focus of environmental, health and safety issues in the 1990’s centered on lead. No single hazard occupied the regulatory, public and media spotlight more than lead, and its impact was felt across the entire construction community. As lead fades from the spotlight, other potential hazards begin to emerge.
Computerized maintenance painting management programs are used to inventory painted items, maintain historical coating data, optimize the scheduling of painting activities, and develop budget estimates for the work. While the sophisticated programs are quite effective, their true benefit is not realized unless someone takes ownership of the program, updates the data every few years, and uses the wealth of planning information that is available.
Successful relationships are dependent upon effective communication between all the parties involved in an industrial maintenance painting project. Owner expectations can only be met when the parties involved work together to meet basic project requirements.
Solvent-free epoxy coatings have been widely specified and used over recent years in Australia as linings for a variety of immersion service exposures, specifically for potable water storage and tank linings for some petroleum products. However, they have not always delivered the durability or performance hoped for.
A brief history of cycles of exterior intumescent coating repair is presented; types of coating failure are identified; various depths of repair are illustrated; discoveries regarding the initial coating and; difficulties in effecting repairs are discussed.
Fireproofing is employed in refineries and petrochemical plants to minimize the escalation of a fire that would occur with the failure of structural supports and the overheating of pressure vessels. The damage that fire could potentially do very early on, could add significant fuel to the fire.
The free flood areas of underwater vehicles pose a significant and expensive corrosion problem to operating forces. These areas undergo an alternating cycle of wetting and drying in a closely confined area that has regions of relatively stagnant seawater and other regions of high turbulence. The corrosion induced damage requires constant upkeep by ship’s force and frequent expensive maintenance action by depot personnel to effect periodic full restoration.
