When a project finally reaches the bidding stage, many of the owner’s questions and concerns regarding the project's outcome have been considered. However, given the ongoing effort to continually extend every assets useful service life, one important question that gets asked more and more is “How long is my coating system going to last?” Unfortunately, the response an owner may receive can too often be delivered by an unqualified individual, be based on unknown or unreliable service environment information, or even worse yet, be given as a best guess. This paper offers a more reliable approach to providing an owner or specifier with a true anticipated service life for a protective coating system based on evaluating service life conditions, choosing appropriate industry standard surface preparation methods and selecting the proper material chemistries for a given service environment. Differing scenarios will be offered to provide real life examples.
