Reporting Our Value to Our Customers—More Meat with the Potatoes!By D. Terry Greenfield, CIP Committee Chair, CorroMetrics Services, Inc.

A trusted colleague was recently re-v i ew ing some

daily reports from a coat-ing inspection project and made the comment to me that the reports clearly identified occurrences that

had happened during the day but they didn’t include much to support why the inspector and his special skills were needed on the project. This was an in-teresting observation and I asked him if he could better explain what he meant.

He responded by saying that the coat-ing inspector’s reports should make it clear to the client that there are vital reasons for having a certified inspector on the project. For example, what did the inspector find during the day that needed a particular solution and served to mitigate future problems? How did his unique skill set enable him or her to identify details of deficiencies and non-conformances that needed to be cor-rected? Were there any operational or weather issues that may have had an impact on the coatings installation and its future performance? These should all be noted. “The daily reports have to be detailed!” my colleague said.

As an inspector it’s easy to slip into a routine of writing a daily “travel log” with lots of filling (potatoes) and little meat, even when performing all the necessary tasks and inspections. Here is a simple example of poor reporting: • 6:30 a.m.: Coating inspector checks

environmental conditions. Contractor begins rigging tarps for containment on structure.

• 9:45 a.m.: Contractor continues to rig tarps, mask protected surfaces, and

begins setting up blast equipment.• 10:37 a.m.: Coating inspector checks

environmental conditions and moni-tors workers using fall protection while tarps are rigged.

• 12:30 p.m.: Contractor continues to rig tarps.

• 2:10 p.m.: Coating inspector checks environmental conditions. Contrac-tor continues to rig tarps and con-tainment.Honestly, any observer could have

provided the above noted information. Those entries don’t provide the insight that only a skilled coating inspector can and should provide. For discussion’s sake consider the following example:• 3:30 pm: Contractor finishes abrasive

blasting.The NACE International-certified

Coating Inspector brings value to the job by ensuring that the coatings work per-formed is done in accordance with the project specification, which in turn gives the installed coating a better chance at meeting the expectation of its intended life cycle. Therein lies the value. The inspector’s daily reports must reflect all the measures taken using his knowledge and training to ensure that all goals are achieved. Perhaps the log entry should look more like this:• 3:30 p.m.: Contractor finishes abra-

sive blasting. Areas along lower flang-es of beam-line C4 marked for non-conformance and identified to contractor. The balance of the pre-pared surfaces are in conformance with NACE No. 2 and acceptable for painting. The contractor was advised that they will reblast the identified areas and blow-down as necessary before painting.

• 4:02 p.m.: All surfaces in the location identified previously in this report have been cleaned to the specified level of cleanliness and are acceptable for coatings application.The training, experience, and certifi-

cation of NACE Coating Inspectors give them the insight to provide the “meat” of the reports, which a casual observer cannot. Whenever the inspector’s re-ports are read, it should be clear and evident to the customer why it’s a ben-efit to have the inspector there on the job protecting their interests.

Detailed reporting is necessary to ac-curately describe the events of the proj-ect that relate to compliance with the specification requirements. When read by our customers, they provide impor-tant support and justification of the added cost of inspection to the job. Good reporting makes it evident that having the NACE Coating Inspector on site is of high value and an investment in the coated asset’s life cycle potential. So, when it comes to your reporting, include lots of meat with the potatoes!

Sorry, Chester...I warned you I might borrow your thoughts for a chairman’s message! Thanks for the insight. ●

The Joy of TeachingBy Lou Vincent, L.D. “Lou” Vincent PhD LLC

Why do peo-p le teach NACE In-

ternational courses? Some do it to supple-ment their income. Others do it to help promote their compa-

ny. There can be other varied reasons. When I first started teaching Coating Inspection Program (CIP) and Protec-tive Coatings and Linings courses, it was mainly a means to gain greater visibility for the consulting company for which I worked. As the years went by and I changed companies, my rea-sons for teaching became much more personal.

Now that I have taught more than 100 courses in the United States and 16 other countries around the world, I realize the real reason. I did this for the pure satisfaction I received from interacting with the students both dur-ing the courses and for years after-ward.

While the courses in the United States and Canada were fine experi-ences, the ones in the international locations were by far the most satisfy-ing from a standpoint of understand-ing the students’ reasons for taking the courses and the changes they have made in their lives. In the beginning, the locations and the equipment were somewhat lagging behind what we had in the United States, but that has changed considerably over the years. Following are a few examples of the joy I have received from teaching some of these courses.

Many years ago, I taught CIP Levels 1, 2, and 3 plus the Peer Review con-secutively in a Middle Eastern country. I was not a lead instructor at the time, but I was chair of the NACE Educa-tion Committee. We had a class of 24 students, most of whom were willing participants, but some were there sim-

ply because their company had as-signed them to the course. As often happened in those days, getting the students to honor the start times and break times was a bit of a problem. Three persons who arrived late every day and took 30 to 45 minutes at each break and did not participate in the case studies were soon failing the quiz-zes. On the third day, I asked the lead instructor if I could address the class the next morning and he agreed. I waited until everyone arrived, which was about 45 minutes past the normal start time and told them politely, but firmly, that after a couple of days in each course, the instructors could usu-ally predict who would pass and who would fail and that at least three of them were definitely going to fail sim-ply because of their lack of participa-tion and their late arrival, long breaks, etc.

Two of these three were middle-aged and did not respond, but one young man immediately became ac-tive with the entire class. He barely passed Level 1 with a written exam score of 71. He passed Level 2 with a written exam score of 89 and passed Level 3 with a written score of 95. He failed the Peer Review simply because of lack of experience. After the Peer Review, he came to me with tears in his eyes and said, “You do not know what you did for me, but because I listened to you and passed the courses, I will get a raise in my company. I am the sole support for my father, mother, and seven brothers and sisters. You are like family to me. I know why I failed the Peer Review, but I guarantee you I will be ready to pass it next time. I have a much better future because of NACE CIP.”

Another case actually happened in Houston, Texas, where Ray Vickers, Tom Kelly, and I were teaching a CIP Level 1 course. One student from

Texas had only a second-grade education. He was a blaster painter who wanted to get off his tools and become an inspector. He was so ear-nest in his efforts that Ray, Tom, and I took turns every night working with him after the class hours to help him overcome his difficulty to learn the material. He was so proud when he passed Level 1. I lost track of him, but I have been told he went on to pass the entire CIP program.

These are not isolated cases. CIP courses have become a path from poverty to a better standard of living for many students in the Middle East, Far East, Southeast Asia, South Amer-ica, and Europe. I wish I had a record-ing of the many times I have met former students at NACE conferences or at business meetings around the world and had them come up to me and greet me with warm affection. Many had stories to tell of their im-proved living standards, even though they had to endure long periods away from their home and extended family because the industry in their home country did not have enough oppor-tunities for them.

Some of my fondest memories as an instructor have come from teaching courses in Japan and India, simply from seeing the level of participation of the students, and more so, the in-tense studying into the late hours every night that they put into those courses. I have never had a student in Japan or India fail a course except those who had difficulty understanding the lan-guage.

One of my finest mementos from all the classes I have taught is a water-color painting of the Chinita Virgin painted by the father of one of the students in Venezuela in 2005.

Yes, there is great joy in teaching courses for NACE. I feel sure all the other instructors feel the same. ●

Painting Steel Bridges

Q I am interested in the specifica-tions for painting new steel bridges

in the United States. My interest arises from a desire to compare and contrast United States and United Kingdom/European specifications and practices. My questions are as follows:

1) Do bridge owners/authorities use standard specifications based on, for example, SSPC standard spec-ifications?

2) Do individual owner types (rail or road) have their own specifica-tions?

3) Do standards vary from state to state or are there nationwide specs?

4) Are specs produced on an ad hoc project-by-project basis?

While different forms of words, test regimes, and contractual arrange-ments are of interest in providing background, I am specifically inter-ested in generic (or product-specific) materials specifications—things like the products/resins that are used and typical thicknesses.

A Looking at your four questions, I would respond as follows:

1) A particular state department of transportation (DOT) or other authority usually has a “standard specification” covering overall bridge renovations, but usually they will include “special provi-sions” addressing a particular site based on location and current coating conditions. NACE Inter-

national, SSPC, and ASTM Inter-national guidelines are usually referenced as standards or recom-mended practices to be used by the contractor, the engineer, and the inspector. Rarely would they use a spec from a particular source as you have queried, though.

2) Individual owners usually have their own specifications addressing their problems. They may or may not be able to omit some of the language required in state or au-thority documents while adding their own particular clarifications covering a particular situation.

3) Specifications vary widely among states, authorities, and municipali-ties.

4) We wish they were, but all too often the same specification may be utilized for all bridges in a particu-lar state without the “special provi-sions” clause I mentioned in my first response. The spec creates ambiguities in regard to locations and conditions.

A I do bridge inspections for the states of Virginia and Maryland.

These states have very thick books of state standards. Contracts are awarded with these as a base. The books refer to NACE, SSPC, ASTM, the U.S. Envi-ronmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration as references to follow. In addition, they have their own sets of prequalified coatings suppliers that must be used.

Coatings for Temporary Potable Water Pipe

Q My office is preparing a design for a potable water project that

is going to require replacement of some potable water piping. While this piping is being replaced, we intend to install temporary steel piping that will be in service for perhaps two or three months. Our standard specification


Continued on p. 8 “NCN”

for steel pipe calls for cement lining on the interior and a petrolatum tape wrap on the exterior.

Since this steel pipe will only be in service for a couple of months and will then likely be disposed of, such rela-tively high-end coatings may be an unnecessary expense. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Would it be a good idea to specify less expensive coatings? Could I get away with no coatings at all? It is an extremely high-pressure line (~300 psi) so polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been ruled out as an option.

A Two or three coats of a product certified in accordance with

ANSI/NSF Standard 61, “Drinking Water System Components—Health Effects,” will do the trick. Make sure the product is certified for the size of pipe you are using (a product certified for use in a tank is not necessarily certi-fied for use in pipes or valves).

A As far as the interior goes, I assume you will stick with the

cement lining. It is probably as cost effective as any other NSF 61 lining.

As for the exterior, you could prob-ably get by for two to three months without using any exterior coating. Not knowing the diameter you will be using or whether you have to deal with normal in-service deflections, I would imagine you would be using 0.1875 to 0.250 in (5 to 6 mm) wall for 30 in (762 mm) and under and 0.250 to 0.3125 in (6 to 8 mm) wall above 30 in to save cost on materials. This steel thickness should not deteriorate significantly in two to three months, but you should know how the real world is—some-times two to three months turns into a much longer period of time.

If the temporary line will be buried and you feel confident it will be pulled


Continued from p. 7 “NCN”

from service in a reasonable amount of time, you could use a SSPC-SP 6 blast followed by one coat, 4 to 6 mils (102 to 152 µm) of an AWWA C-210 high-performance epoxy.

If you think you need the potential for better protection, your least expen-sive alternative would most likely be a SSPC-SP 10 blast followed by coal tar epoxy (~16 mils [406 µm] applied in one or two coats).

If you’re able to keep the temporary line aboveground, you could probably get by with hand/power tool cleaning and solvent wipe or power wash and a 2- to 3-mil (51- to 76-µm) coat of rust-inhibitive primer.

A quality pipe fabricator should be able to apply the interior cement lining and any of the above exterior systems very cost effectively.

A Bare pipe would seem to be ap-propriate. It’s hard to imagine

any conditions that would cause it to fail in two to three months of service.

A Beware! Few things in life are more permanent than a tempo-

rary arrangement. Too many short-term quick fixes are failing because management reasoned that if the temporary rig is working, why spend the money for the real project? One must be extra careful with potable water for obvious reasons.

A From the corrosion point of view, forget about it—there’s no

way that potable water can corrode through regular pipe in three months. Also, corrosion from the outside is highly unlikely unless you have a par-ticularly nasty (buried) environment. The worst that is going to happen is that your customers get a little more iron in their diet—better than coal tar, in my opinion.

From the regulatory point of view, only you can judge. How will your lo-cal authority react to having no inter-nal coatings on the pipe?

A I would go ahead and install the pipe just the way it is. The

only concern I could find is severe interference, or that the stretch of pipe you will be installing is in a very aggressive condition, such as a con-taminated swamp, under a garbage fill, or dense, humid clay soil with very low resistivities. If you suspect that might happen, just attach a couple of magnesium anodes along the pipe (17 lb [7.7 kg], one each 200 m).

This would take care of any bimetal-lic pair or aggressive condition. Re-member, “temporary” in my country (Venezuela) sometimes means years or forever. So, be sure you’re going to have the pipe just for a few months and not for long-term use.

Polyurea-Based Road Paint

Q I understand that for road mark-ing, paint formulations based

on polyurea are used instead of hot-applied thermoplastic paint. What are the specifics of this technology (e.g., properties, application, etc.)?

A I can tell you that while it is cer-tainly applicable, there are few

case histories. This is not to say poly-urea is not appropriate, however. You would need to use aliphatic-modified formulas, standard aromatic with heavy pigment and ultraviolet (UV) additives, or a much more expensive pure aliphatic polyurea. Otherwise, the UV stability is just not there. However, without the aliphatic, the only effects are fading and chalk-ing—not complete film degradation. A white or safety yellow would fade and/or chalk. The advantage of polyurea is that with minimal surface preparation, such as cleaning with acetone and preapplication of a film softener and adhesion-promoting material, you can simply overcoat at regularly scheduled intervals. ●
