and coating shall be scheduled so that dust and spray from the cleaning
process will not fall on wet, newly coated surfaces. Hardware, hardware
accessories, machined surfaces, electrical fixtures, and similar uncoated
items which are in contact with coated surfaces shall be removed or
masked prior to surface preparation and coating operations. Following
completion of coating, removed items shall be reinstalled. Equipment
adjacent to walls shall be disconnected and moved to permit cleaning and
coating of equipment and walls and, following coating, shall be replaced and
reconnected.

3. The Owner or Owner’s agent shall perform an adhesion test after proper
cure in accordance with ASTM D4541 to demonstrate that the coating
system adhered to the substrate. A tensile pull of a minimum of 300 psi
shall be considered acceptable. Where unacceptable test results are
obtained, the Contractor shall be responsible for removing and reapplying
the specified coatings at no expense to the Owner.

4. Used or spent abrasive shall not be reused on this project.

5. The compressed air used for abrasive blast cleaning shall be filtered and
shall contain no condensed water and no oil. Moisture traps shall be
cleaned at least once every four hours or more frequently as required to
prevent moisture from entering the supply air to the abrasive blasting
equipment.

6. Oil separators shall be installed just downstream of compressor discharge

valves and at the discharge of the blast pot discharges. These shall be
checked on the same frequency as the moisture traps as defined in item
5 above.

9. The abrasive blast nozzles used shall be of the venturi or other high
velocity type supplied with a minimum of 100 psig air pressure and
sufficient volume to obtain the blast cleaning production rates and
cleanliness/specified herein.

10. The Contractor shall provide ventilation for airborne particulate

evacuation (meeting all pertinent safety standards) to optimize visibility for
both blast cleaning and inspection for the substrate during surface
preparation work.

11. If, between final surface preparation work and coating system application,
contamination of the prepared and cleaned substrates occurs, or if the
prepared substrates' appearance darkens or changes color, recleaning by
waterblasting, reblasting and abrasive or shot blast cleaning shall be
required until the specified degree of cleanliness is reclaimed.

12. The Contractor is responsible for dust control and for protection of
mechanical, electrical, and all other equipment adjacent to and
surrounding the work area.

13. Where sawcutting is to be done through the coating above cracks or

joints in the substrate below, the crack or joint location shall be clearly
and continuously marked prior to coating installation. Marking shall be
such that, after coating installation, the sawcut can be made to coincide
with the crack or joint accurately enough to prevent damage to the
coating by propagation of the crack or joint through the coating.

B. CONCRETE SURFACES

1. Inspection of concrete surfaces prior to surface preparation and surface

preparation of concrete surfaces shall be performed in accordance with
SSPC-SP13 (also called NACE 6).

2. The surface profile for prepared concrete surfaces to be coated shall be

evaluated by comparing the profile of the prepared concrete with the profile
of graded abrasive paper, as described in ANSI B74.18 or by comparing the
profile with the ICRI Guideline No. 03732 (surface profile chips). Surface
profile requirements shall be in accordance with the CSM’s
recommendations.

3. Surface cleanliness of prepared concrete substrates shall be inspected after

cleaning, preparation, and/or drying, but prior to making repairs or applying
any coat in the coating system. If concrete surfaces are repaired, they shall

system.

4. The pH of the prepared concrete surfaces shall be tested in accordance

with ASTM D4262. Refer to the COATSPEC sheet for pH requirements for
concrete for specific coating specification sheets.

5. Coating adhesion shall be tested by applying a test patch of the specified

coating system and performance of adhesion testing in accordance with
ASTM D4541 at a minimum of 3 locations on the test patch. Coating
adhesion is specified for each coating specification sheet for concrete
surfaces in paragraph 3.05 (COATSPEC) of this section.

6. Moisture vapor emissions of concrete to receive flooring shall be tested in

accordance with ASTM F 1869. Testing shall be performed once for every
250 square feet of floor area. Where floor coating is applied to wall surfaces
that are backfilled or immersed on the other side, perform testing once for
every 250 square feet of wall area. Testing shall be started after the
concrete is 28 days old and be repeated on a monthly basis until floor
coating installation work is complete. No flooring materials shall be installed
in any area until testing indicates a value of less than or equal to 3 lbs. of
moisture per 1,000 square feet per 24 hours. If levels exceed the above
limit, tests shall be repeated on a weekly basis so that the decline can be
monitored or other measures can be taken. Results of all testing shall be
reported to the Owner and Engineer promptly in writing.

7. Should mechanical cleaning not remove degraded concrete, chipping or

other abrading tools shall be used to remove the deteriorated concrete until
a sound, clean substrate is achieved which is free of calcium sulfate, loose
coarse or fine aggregate, laitance, loose hydrated cement paste, and
otherwise deleterious substances. Abrasive blast cleaning and any other
means necessary shall be used to open up all air voids or “bugholes” to
expose their complete perimeter. Leaving shelled over, hidden air voids
beneath the exposed concrete surface will not be acceptable. Concrete
substrate must be dry prior to the application of any surfacer filler or coating
system materials.

8. Once surface preparation has been completed, all concrete surfaces shall
be thoroughly vacuum cleaned to remove all spent blast abrasive, dust, dirt,
or other residues which might detrimentally affect coating adhesion and to
produce clean, dust free, sound, concrete surfaces.

C. DETAILED SURFACE PREPARATION:

Surface preparations for each type of surface shall be in accordance with the specific
requirements of each coating specification sheet (COATSPEC).

surface, and glossy undercoats shall be lightly sanded to provide a surface suitable for the proper
application and adhesion of subsequent coats. Coatings shall be thoroughly stirred, strained, and
kept at a uniform consistency during application. Coatings consisting of two or more components
shall be mixed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Where necessary to suit the
conditions of the surface, temperature, weather and method of application, the coating may be
thinned immediately prior to use. The volatile organic content (VOC) of the coating as applied shall
comply with prevailing air pollution control regulations. Unless otherwise specified, coatings shall
not be reduced more than necessary to obtain the proper application characteristics. Thinner shall
be as recommended by the coating manufacturer. All coating systems shall be pinhole free when
completed and shall pass holiday detection as specified in Part 4 of this Section.

C. MORTAR PROPERTIES AND MIXING

 D. ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS:

Coatings shall be applied only to surfaces that are dry, and only under conditions of
evaporation rather than condensation. Coating shall not be applied during rainy, misty weather, or
to surfaces upon which there is frost or moisture condensation. During damp weather, when the
temperature of the surface to be coated is within 10oF of the dew point, forced dehumidification
equipment may be used to maintain a temperature of minimum 40oF and 10oF above the dew point
for the surfaces to be coated, the coated surface, and the atmosphere in contact with the surface.
These conditions shall be maintained for a period of at least 8 hours or as recommended by the
CSM. Dehumidification equipment, fans, and/or heaters shall be used inside enclosed areas
where conditions causing condensation are severe to maintain the required atmospheric and
surface temperature requirements.

E. SURFACE TEMPERATURES

When the surface temperatures of the concrete substrates to be coated are rising or when
these substrates are in direct sunlight, outgassing of air from the concrete will result in bubbling,
pinhole formations, and/or blistering in the coating system. As such, the application of the coating
system in such locations shall be postponed until the cooler evening hours or other measures shall
be taken to prevent such rising substrate temperatures. Should bubbles, pinholes, or
discontinuities form in the applied coating system material, they shall be repaired as recommended
by the CSM.

F. PROTECTION OF COATED SURFACES:

Items which have been coated shall not be handled, worked on, or otherwise disturbed,
until the coating is completely dry and hard. After delivery at the site of permanent erection or
installation, shop-coated metalwork shall be recoated or retouched with specified coating when it is
necessary to maintain the integrity of the film.

G. METHOD OF COATING APPLICATION:

Where two or more coats are required, alternate coats shall contain sufficient compatible
color additive to act as indicator of coverage, or the alternate coats shall be of contrasting colors.
Color additives shall not contain lead, or any lead compound which may be destroyed or affected
by hydrogen sulfide or any other corrosive gas.

Coatings shall not be applied to a surface until it has been prepared as specified. After the
prime coat is dry, pinholes and holidays shall be marked, repaired in accordance with coating
manufacturer's recommendations and retested before succeeding coats are applied. Unless
otherwise specified, film coats shall be brushed or rolled, and mortars shall be troweled.

For application of a broadcast system, the liquid components of the system, after mixing,
shall be spread to a thickness recommended by the CSM. The aggregate shall be broadcast into
the liquid until a uniformly dry appearance is obtained. After curing of the first broadcast layer,
excess aggregate is removed and following by a second application. For application of a mortar,
trowel the mortar onto the surface to the required thickness.

Cant or cove bases shall be installed at walls, equipment pads, pipe and sleeve
penetrations, and vertical surfaces intersecting the coated portion of the floor, as shown on the

Drawings. Unless otherwise indicated, cove bases shall extend a minimum of 4 inches and a
maximum of 8 inches above the finish floor. At masonry walls, coves shall be terminated at the
base of a mortar joint.

Aluminum oxide grit shall be incorporated into the coating system to provide a non-slip
surface. The grit shall be broadcast onto the first coat of the finish and covered by the subsequent
coat(s). A minimum broadcast rate of 5 pounds per 1000 square feet shall be used.

H. SYSTEM THICKNESS AND CONTINUITY:

Coating system thickness is the total thickness of primer, underlayment (if required),
intermediate and finish coats. The mil thickness of the first coat of the coating system and all
subsequent coats will be verified by the Engineer, following application of each coat.

The surface area covered per gallon of coating for various types of surfaces shall not
exceed those recommended by the manufacturer. Coatings shall be applied to the thickness
specified, and in accordance with these specifications. The minimum thickness at any point shall
not deviate more than 25 percent from the required average. Unless otherwise specified, no less
than two coats shall be applied.

In testing for continuity of coating about welds, projections (such as bolts and nuts), and
crevices, the Engineer will determine the minimum conductivity for smooth areas of like coating
where the dry thickness has been accepted. This conductivity shall then be taken as the minimum
required for these rough or irregular areas. Pinholes and holidays shall be recoated to the required
coverage.

I. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:

All surfaces to be coated shall be clean and dry at the time of application. Provide coating
system terminations at leading edges, transitions to other substrates, structural joints and cracks in
accordance with the CSM’s recommendations and the detail drawings.

J. SAFETY AND VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS:

Requirements for safety and ventilation shall be in accordance with SSPC Paint Application
Guide No. 3.

K. JOINTS, CRACKS, TERMINATIONS, AND PENETRATIONS

Joints, cracks, terminations, and penetrations in the flooring systems shall be

accommodated as shown on the Drawings. Formed recesses for joint materials shall be installed
unless otherwise noted. Sawcut recesses in floor coating shall be installed only where shown or
approved by the Engineer. Sawcuts through the floor coating or substrate shall be vertically and
horizontally straight, and shall be a minimum of 3/4-inch deep unless otherwise shown. Joint
materials (including, but not limited to joint boards, fillers, backer rods, and sealants) shall be
installed under Division 3 or Division 7, as specified.

PART 4 - FIELD QUALITY CONTROL INSPECTION AND TESTING

4.01 GENERAL

Inspection by the Owner or others does not limit the Contractor’s responsibilities for quality
workmanship or quality control as specified herein or as required by the CSM’s instructions, but the
Owner will perform or contract with an inspection agency to perform quality assurance inspection
and testing of the coating work covered by this section as described below under 4.01 B.

1. Inspect all materials upon receipt to ensure that all are supplied by the
CSM.

2. Inspect to verify that specified storage conditions for the coating system
materials, solvents and abrasives are provided.

3. The pH of the concrete substrates will be measured using pH indicating

papers. Testing of pH shall be performed once very 100 square feet of
concrete surface area to be coated.

Acceptable pH values for concrete surfaces shall be between 7.0 and

11.0 both as measured by a full-range (1-12) color indicating pH paper
with readable color calibrations and a scale at whole numbers (minimum).
Use Hydrion Insta-Chek Jumbo 0-13 or 1-12 or equal. The paper shall be
touched to the surface once using moderate finger pressure. The surface
shall not be wiped or moved laterally to disturb the surface during pH
testing. Following the one touch, lift the paper vertically to not "wipe" the
surface. Compare the color indicated with the scale provided and record
the pH.

For dry concrete substrate, spray the surface lightly with distilled, de-
ionized water from a commercially available spray bottle that has been
properly rinsed to preclude any dissolved solids. The spray shall just wet
the surface to a "shiny" appearance and water shall not run down the
wall. Wait 60 seconds to allow chemical equilibrium to be established
and then test the pH of the water on the surface and record the value.

4. Inspect and record substrate profile (anchor pattern) requirements using

visual inspection and comparison to a grit paper or ICRI 03732 profile

 chips for concrete substrates. Perform profile comparison for concrete
once every 25 square feet of area to be coated.

5. Measure and record ambient air and substrate temperature at the

beginning and end of each shift and once every two hours of each shift
using a thermometer.

6. Measure and record relative humidity at the beginning and end of each
shift and every two hours of each shift using a sling psychrometer in
accordance with ASTM E337.

7. Check for the presence of substrate moisture in the concrete by

performing the standard test method for indicating moisture in concrete by
the Plastic Sheet Method in accordance with ASTM D4263. If the
presence of moisture is indicated, dry the concrete substrate prior to
commencing with coating system application. Force drying can be
accomplished using indirect heaters and fans. Perform this test once for
every 250 square feet of area to be coated and more frequently at
darkened concrete areas. Perform calcium chloride moisture vapor
emissions tests in accordance with ASTM F1869 on frequency to be
determined by inspector in the field.

8. Inspect to verify that correct mixing of coating system materials is

performed in accordance with CSM’s instructions.

9. Inspect and record that the "pot life" of coating system materials is not
exceeded during installation. Inspect to verify that recoat limitations for all
coating materials are not exceeded.

10. Perform and record adhesion of the coating materials in accordance with
ASTM D4541 modified for field conditions, as specified below. Testing
shall be performed at one location for every 250 square feet of concrete
surface area to be coated.

a. Clean the coating surface to remove all oil, dirt, dust or other
contaminants.

b. Cut through the coating system material into the substrate using a
circular core drill.

c. Mix and apply rapid setting two component epoxy adhesive onto
the abrasive blast cleaned disk or plug. Install the disk or plug
firmly over the cut out circular area and hold in place using tape or
other means to secure it until adhesive has cured.

d. Remove the disk or plug with the Pull off Testing instrument,
strictly following the instrument manufacturer's instructions.

e. Read or calculate the adhesive tensile pull value and record in

pounds per square inch (psi). The adhesive tensile pull value

 must exceed 300 psi for concrete and must remove concrete that
is attached to the underside of the disk or plug. The pull test value
must meet or exceed the CSM’s recommended value per ASTM
standards for metal substrates. If it does not, two additional
adhesion tests will be performed in the same area. If the
requirements set forth above are still not met, the coating system
installation in this area will be deemed unacceptable and shall be
removed and reinstalled immediately until acceptable adhesion is
achieved (at no additional cost to the Owner). All test locations
are to be repaired to achieve a pinhole free coating system
directly following acceptable results at no additional cost to the
Owner.

11. Measure and record the thickness of the coating system using the
following methods:

a. Use notched gauge in accordance with ASTM D4414 for Wet Film
Thickness at least once every 25 square feet of coating system
area for concrete substrates. Dry film thickness of coatings on
concrete can be calculated from the wet film thickness by
multiplying the wet film thickness by the percent solids of the
material by the volume of the coating. Also, if the concrete
substrate varies widely in roughness and WFT measurements are
difficult, the dry film thickness can be calculated if the spreading
rate and the percent solids by volume are known.

b. Following cure, the coating systems over concrete surfaces shall

be tested for dry film thickness once for every 50 square feet of
surface area using a Positector 100 DFT Gauge calibrated in
accordance with the instrument manufacturer's instructions. Any
areas found to be below the specified DFT above filled bug holes
and above the prepared substrate profile shall receive additional
applications of the coating system or shall be removed/recoated
as required to meet the total DFT requirements. Additional
thickness may be problematic in areas where mechanical moving
equipment tolerances are critical. At such locations, coating
system removal and reapplication to the specified film thickness
may be required.

12. Inspect to verify proper curing of the coating system in accordance with
the CSM's instructions.

13. Upon completion of coating system installation for any given area, clean
the coating surface and prepare to permit close visual inspection by the
Owner or Owner’s agent. All coating surfaces shall be visually inspected
for areas showing delamination, runs, sags, or any other defects in the
coating system preventing proper protection of the surfaces to be
protected. Any and all deficiencies or defective work (not in compliance
with this Section or related Sections) will be marked by the Owner or its

 agent for repairs or removal/replacement by the Coating Contractor at no
additional cost to the Owner.

14. Perform a visual inspection for holidays and pinholes in the coating.
When detected, they are to be marked on the coating system surface
using felt tipped pens or other markers approved by the Coating System
Manufacturer. Holidays are to be repaired in strict accordance with the
CSM’s instructions. Holiday inspection is to be repeated only over the
coating system repair locations where discontinuities were detected and
marked.

4.02 FINAL INSPECTION

Perform a final inspection to determine whether coating system work meets the
requirements of the specifications. The Owner or Owner’s agent will subsequently conduct a
final inspection with the Contractor for conformance to requirements of the contract documents.

Verification of compliance of coating system work with the contract documents will be
documented using the Coating System Inspection Checklist contained under Part 5.0 of this
Section.

Any rework required shall be marked. Such areas shall be recleaned and repaired as
specified herein at no additional cost to the Owner.

PART 5 - COATING SYSTEM INSPECTION CHECKLIST

The attached Coating System Inspection checklists shall be used for each type of
coating work performed on the project. This includes a separate checklist for each coating
system on each type of substrate within the project scope as identified on the Coating System
