y PCCP Overview
What you need for a successful protective coatings project:
• For a maintenance project, perform a condition assessment or
survey of the structure (e.g., piping, storage tanks) based on
SSPC‐PA 5, in order to determine what substrate repairs are
required prior to coating and what coating system should be
selected to best protect the structure in its service environment.
•
Once funding is procured, based on the results of the condition
assessment, write a clear and concise coating specification, citing
industry standards as often as possible. It is essential that the
specification be designed for the specific project to be
undertaken. The specification should be written by an
experienced and qualified (e.g., SSPC or NACE Protective
Coatings Specialist) familiar with oil & gas structures to be coated
A good specification must include, at a minimum:
• Clear surface preparation (SP), coating application (CA) and curing
requirements, stated once, citing industry standards
• Clear definition of what materials (e.g., caulking; coating; thinners, if
allowed; abrasive; water quality for water cleaning, etc) are allowed
• What’s to be coated and what’s not to be coated, including protection of
what’s not to be cleaned and coated and protection of surroundings during
SP & CA operations
• Quality Control and Quality Assurance requirements including Inspection
hold points and required reports and submission
• Qualifications of contractors and subcontractors
• Qualifications of personnel (e.g., craft‐workers; inspectors)
• Job site restrictions (e.g., where to work and stage equipment; the time of
day and days work is allowed; utilities
NY DOT sec 573
573‐3
CONSTRUCTION DETAILS.
The Contractor shall clean and paint all structural steel
members, railings, downspouts, and other miscellaneous steel
items as indicated in the contract documents. The Contractor
shall provide adequate access, suitable lighting, and time for
inspections to be made. Any work done while the Engineer has
been restricted from access, shall be recleaned and repainted, at
no additional cost to the State to the State.
NY Dot specification for
lighting
E. Lighting.
Light intensity by natural or artificial means inside the
containment enclosure shall be maintained at a minimum of
50 foot‐candles on the steel surface. During inspection
activities, light shall be maintained at a minimum of 100 foot‐
candles Auxiliary lighting shall be provided as necessary. The
Contractor shall provide the Engineer with one portable light
meter with a scale of 0 to 100 foot‐candles. This meter will be

• before starting work (e.g., safety, health and environmental
compliance plans, including confined space plans if
applicable; work process plans (how the contractor is going
to clean and coat); inspection and test plans
• during production (adjustments to pre‐work plans submitted
based on approved changes; daily inspection reporting or
other daily reports; accident or injury reports; notification of
changes in key personnel; schedule changes)
• after work or phases are completed (punch list; waste
disposal reports; required documentation needed for
payment)
Workshop #1
Open discussion of NY State
Specifications, Questions‐
discrepancies‐ experiences
• For new construction (e.g., painting in the shop before
delivery to the field or touch up painting or top‐
coating after field erection), require much of what’s
been described above with the exception of
performance of a condition survey
• Field touch up or top‐coating of new construction;
include requirements for:
• cure in the shop before delivery to the field
• handling transportation and erection damage that
will affect touch up and top‐coating
• Conducting condition assessments, writing good specifications and
contracts based on sound condition assessment, lessons learned
from similar projects performed in the past and enforcement of
requirements are essential for effective coating projects
• Conducting best fundamental practices result in higher installation
costs but makes your coating projects overall less expensive by
providing
• More efficiently run coating projects from both the owner’s and
contractor’s side
• Greater likelihood that the coating system applied will meet or
exceed its expected service life

Standards and related documents
Coating Selection and Application‐
Considerations
• Selection of Coatings
• Considerations:
• Expected Service Life (extent of surface preparation needed)
• Service Environment/Operating Temperatures
• Access to work site (if in situ)
• Can the coating work be done in a shop environment (e.g.,
inorganic zinc vs organic zinc)?
• To be done with in‐house crews vs contractor
• Availability of qualified applicators (Contractors and craft‐
workers) at the location
• Availability of equipment and materials for the project
• Regulatory restrictions (high VOC vs. high solids)
Coating Selection and Application‐
Considerations (Cont’d)
• Time constraints (e.g., outage period; pressure to place asset back
into service; limitations on times you can prepare surface and coat)
• Risks (Overcoat vs. spot repair vs. zone painting vs full removal and
recoat)
• Appearance concerns (Color, gloss, texture)
• Ease and cost of maintenance after installation
• Painting over bare substrate or galvanized or thermal sprayed steel
• Buried steel with Cathodic Protection

encased in masonry, or protected by membrane or non‐corrosive
contact type fireproofing
• 1A ‐ Interior, normally dry (or temporary protection). Very mild.
• 1B ‐ Exterior, normally dry. Coatings may be subject to exposure to
sunlight.
• 2A Frequently wet by fresh water. Coating may be subject to
condensation, splash, spray or frequent immersion.
Environmental Zones (Cont’d)
• 2C ‐ Fresh water immersion. Coating is constantly submerged.
• 2D ‐ Saltwater immersion. Coating is constantly submerged.
• 3A ‐ Chemical atmospheric exposure, acidic (pH 2.0 to 5.0)
• 3B ‐ Chemical atmospheric exposure, neutral (pH 5.0 to 10.0)
Environmental Zones (Cont’d)

• If new situation, what is published performance history (e.g., JPCL;
SSPC Conference Proceedings)?
• If trying new coating, has there been a test patch trial?
• What are the results of accelerated testing (e.g., flexibility; abrasion
resistance; weathering; chemical resistance?
Coating Material Selection Cont’d
• What are other organizations using successfully?
• What do reliable coating manufacturer technical reps recommend?
Coating Application
• Methods
• Brush
• Roll
• Mitt
• Spray
• HVLP, Conventional Spray, Airless, Air Assisted;
• Plural Component
Coating Application
• Brush – slow but simple method; uneven paint application; good for
stripe coating and touch up; use brush type recommended by
Coating Mfr.
• Roller – good for large flat areas; slow; minimum thickness 2 mils;
roller nap can leave contamination; use roller type recommended
by Coating Mfr.
• Mitt – uneven application; used for difficult to access areas or
piping to get coverage
Coating Application
• Spray
• Most productive method
• Airless Spray (high fluid pressure)
• Typical for industrial application
• High production capability
• Good for heavy coating
• Low overspray potential
• Safety concerns due to high fluid pressure
• Conventional (uses air); good operator control
• Good for fine applications
• Safer, low pressure spraying
• Not suitable for heavy, industrial coatings
• Potential for Overspray
Coating Application
High Volume/Low Pressure
Good control
Good transfer efficiency – low overspray potential
Slower production rate than other spray methods
Air‐Assisted Airless
Combines features of Conventional and Airless
Not as productive as airless
Not recommended for high solids materials
Coating Application
Plural Component Spray
Used to apply large quantities of high solvent, viscous (thick), 2K
materials (e.g., epoxies or urethanes) with short pot lives
Material mixed at manifold in field or at gun
Can keep material heated to reduce viscosity
Reduces paint waste
Skilled operator required
High equipment cost
Application Practices (Mixing)
• Mixing‐one of the most important steps for a successful installation
• Must be done in accordance with Coating Manufacturer’s
recommendation
• Mix ratios of multi‐part coatings critical for effective application and
cure
• Mixing of partial kits usually not recommended‐partial kit mixing
increases chance of error
• Coating (material temp) can be important
• Thinning must be done carefully, if permitted. Thinner type and
amount used should be documented
Application Conditions
• It is critical that coating be applied during acceptable environmental
conditions and surface temperature at the work site location
• Ambient conditions (e.g., air temperature; relative humidity;
surface temperature; dew point; wind speed) must be measured
using calibrated and correctly operating inspection equipment
SSPC‐PA 1(2016)
• All coating must be performed in accordance with SSPC‐PA 1, Shop,
Field and Maintenance Coatings of Metals
• SSPC‐PA 1 is the industry standard for best industrial paint
application processes
• PA‐1 should be written into every industrial coating specification
Coating Assessment & Inspection
Assess Condition of Aged Coating
Conduct Survey per SSPC‐PA 5
Rust Assessment tool – SSPC‐VIS 2
Coating Condition Assessment and Structural integrity & defect
assessment go hand in hand
• Draft coating specification upon analysis of structure (needed
structural repairs) and coating condition

Workshop 2
Review of the NY DOT
inspection report
Contractor Work Plan
• If work is contracted, require pre‐construction submittal of Work
Plan
• Work Plan tells you how the contractor plans to perform the work
• Owner’s obligation – review and comment on Work Plan – never
approve as Contractor must always be responsible for quality of
the work
• Work Plan, in addition to production processes to be used, can also
include QC Plan and Safety Plan
Latest Technologies
• High Solids Coatings (Epoxies and Urethanes)
• Vapor Blasting‐alternative to dry blast cleaning
• Emergence of Polysiloxanes
• 2 coat systems instead of 3 coat systems (to reduce costs) – jury
still out with regard to durability of 2 coat systems vs. 3 coat
systems
