The presentation will discuss the challenges, overall objective and unique characteristics of the viscous-elastic semi-solid compound and bolt cap protection system. Testing, installation procedures and previous projects will be covered. One of the projects to be covered is the system used to protect the support rods of the recently constructed San Francisco Bay Bridge connecting Oakland to San Francisco. The bridge made the news prior to opening when it was determined that a portion of the support rods were experiencing fatigue and showing signs of premature failure.
The Jim Creek siphon is located in the Arapahoe National Forest in Winter Park, Colorado, elevation 9,000 feet. The siphon was constructed as part of the original Moffat Collection System in approximately 1935/1936, commencing operation in 1937. It is a 54-inch diameter steel pipeline that conveys Fraser River water from the Fraser Canal on the south side of the Jim Creek valley to the Jim Creek-Fraser Creek Canal on the north side of Jim Creek valley. The Jim Creek valley floor includes a significant wetlands complex with sensitive terraced beaver ponds, which require protection during any rehabilitation work.
This paper identifies the problems with large multi-year painting projects and discusses the benefit to Facility Owners and Contractors for breaking a large bridge project into smaller phases. It will also discuss factors that determine the optimum size, large or small, of a painting project and their impacts. The size of a project will be analyzed from the standpoint of money, time, insurance, bonding, manpower, inspection, management, bridge inventory and job quality.
The paper chronicles and discusses the challenges, options, choices and solutions from the design phase through the actual blast cleaning and painting of one of the most unique steel structures in the world, the largest radio telescope at Arecibo, Puerto Rico.
