The construction of a major project such as a bridge can often provide significant challenges to say the least. These challenges are not always within the physical building or logistics of the bridge but often can be material related. One such challenge can be the curing of the materials on the project. To that end, Cianbro/Middlesex, a large industrial contractor, knew that they would need temporary climate control to meet the tight specifications for concrete curing during a construction project for the new Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge in New Haven, Conn.

The use of climate control is commonly perceived as an additional cost and the energy consumed is often substantial. A closer look at the real impact can uncover economic and environmental benefits that may offset and even exceed the initial costs. These benefits include life cycle costs of the coating system, efficiencies in the project sequencing and minimizing coating and solvent waste
Industry executives involved in industrial blasting and coating projects may find it surprising that climate control equipment typically used in those processes played a major role in recovery efforts in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. This paper highlights how this equipment helped restore three important structures in New Orleans – the Louisiana Superdome, Notarial Archives and the evidence room of the New Orleans Police Department.
The following paper will briefly review the origin and development of dehumidification and climate control equipment for the most efficient surface preparation and coatings to surfaces in enclosed spaces. As the needs of the surface preparation and coatings industry evolve, so to do the requirements and ancillary equipment used by field personnel working on these projects.
The use of temporary humidity control assisted in the recovery of multi-family housing structures in New Orleans after the city was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. The process of temporary climate control during re-construction contributed to the overall quality control of moisture sensitive materials, predictable schedules, on-time completion and elimination of indoor air quality problems.
Desiccant dehumidification technology has transformed itself into a sophisticated and mainstream method that is used in many blasting and coating applications today. Utilizing temporary dehumidification and remote monitoring equipment for a blast and coating operation for the Onslow Beach Bridge allowed the project to be completed in 30 days – twice as fast as is typical for the type of project. This paper also will discuss how a contractor realized significant fuel savings due to the use of energy-efficient equipment.
The use of temporary climate control on a steel tank re-line has now become a regular practice within the coatings industry to help one avoid unplanned delays or issues on a project. This paper will discuss the issue from three perspectives: the coatings contractor, the tank owner and the inspector. It will explore the concept of using a temporary climate control systems on a tank re-line project in general, review how each segment would benefit from utilizing such a system and finally discuss the overall impact that a temporary climate control system will have on their projects.
This paper will discuss the use of temporary desiccant dehumidification and climate control equipment as a strategy to protect ones investment during cold lay up applications in ships. The paper will look at the science of Psychrometrics and discuss how it can be utilized to help predict the optimal conditions needed to effectively control the moisture for an indefinite period of time.
