This paper will discuss the differences between shop coating and field painting and the pros and cons of shop applied coatings versus field applied coatings on new steel. This paper will also discuss various cost differences between shop and field painting as it pertains to new steel, and we will cover two case histories of Maryland State Highway Administration jobs which had all three coats of paint applied in the shop.

Standards Used for ‘Partial’ Coating Removal During Maintenance Painting

Common methods of maintenance painting have either involved complete removal of existing paint (e.g., SSPC-SP 10, Near White Blast Cleaning) or highly localized preparation of corroding areas using power or hand tools (e.g., SSPC-SP 2 or SSPC-SP 3). Sometimes projects may be designed to an intermediate level where the intent is to reduce the surface preparation level of effort by allowing “good” coatings to remain. In these cases, abrasive blasting or ultra-high pressure water jetting may be used to prepare the entire surface, but well adhered aged coating is allowed to remain.

Corrosion on steel bridges has long been recognized as a major concern.  Over the years, technology has advanced from lead-based paints used for a century to three-coat systems.  Recently, two-coat systems have been developed and are gaining acceptance.  Research which is now underway to develop a one-coat system is described in this paper.

While commercial painting is often thought to be less rigorous or less technical than industrial painting, the commercial painting industry has its own set of demands on a coating and is not without its share of coating problems. The authors experience demonstrates that there are commonalities in failures of coatings in commercial painting.
