PROTECTIVE COATINGS & LININGS For WASTEWATER & WATER STRUCTURES 2011 By Rocky Capehart
Accelerated corrosion problems in today s infrastructure and a greater awareness of corrosion issues, require demanding and viable long-term solutions. MIC (Microbiologically Induced Corrosion) Thiobacillus (Bacterium/Bugs) feed on the sulfur within the H2S and excrete sulfuric acid which then attacks the concrete matrix!
Corrosion will increase due to: Reduction of inflow and infiltration Regulatory changes in pre-treatment Expansion of collection systems EPA/625/6-91/030
How Do We Achieve Long Term Quality Coatings & Linings Performance?
THIRD PARTY TESTING AND SPECIFICATIONS RESOURCE Los Angeles County Sanitation Greenbook - City of Los Angeles Trenchless Technology Center Independent Testing Labs (Following ASTM Standards) Material Safety Data Sheets PROPERTIES Ease of Application Chemical Resistance Bond Inspection Chemical Resistance Change in Physical Properties Buckling Strength Hydrostatic Pressure Effects Permeability Tensile/Flexural/Compressive Properties Chemical Resistance Safety & Handling Others: NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers), SSPC (The Society for Protective Coatings), ICRI (International Concrete Repair Institute) and Universities Across North America
CORRECT PRODUCT SELECTION, INSTALLATION & INSPECTION Can Help Prevent:
Polymer Coating and Liner Disbonding
Aggressive Corrosion
Pinholes
Epoxy Failure Thin coating and pinholes
Inner Coating Delamination & Poor Adhesion
Thinner Than Required Coating Applications
Thinner Than Required Coating Applications & Applicator Error
Roots and Infiltration
Substrate Failure Behind The Lining
Equipment / Tool Damage & Pinholes
WRINKLES & SAGS
HOW DO WE SELECT THE CORRECT COATING OR LINING SYSTEM? Polymer Systems Thermoplastic sheet liners Cementitious systems
STRUCTURAL & NON-STRUCTURAL RENEWAL OPTIONS Cementitious Coatings (Portland to Calcium Aluminates') Structural-1/2-4 (May require reinforcement) Non-Structural-3/8-1/2 Polymer Coatings (Epoxies and Polyurethanes) Structural-125-500 mils (1/8 1/2 ) Non-Structural-60 mils minimum-100 mils average Composite Systems
CORROSION PROTECTION OPTIONS Cementitious formulations Calcium aluminate Antimicrobial additives Thermoplastic linings Cement or polymer mastic basecoat Polymer coatings Epoxies, polyurethanes, polyureas
COATING THICKNESS Profile Height (New surface or Exposed Aggregate) Effects of hydrostatic head pressure or water vapor transmission (Design with industry accepted ASTM F1216-07 for Structural Applications to withstand long term external hydrostatic loadings) Environment
UNDERGROUND INSTALLATION VARIABLES Temperature and humidity Moisture filled substrates Hydrostatic pressure Water vapor transmission Surface and structure condition Accessibility and confined space
KEY FACTORS FOR PREP SUCCESS Obtain a clean, dry and sound surface! Understand repair procedures: Substrate loss or infiltration Understand preparation procedures Know how to test preparation results Know common methods of: cleaning power abrasive choices coating removal
COATING INSPECTION PARAMETERS Substrate inspection - Ambient conditions - Surface profile - Surface cleanliness Mixing procedures - Application procedures SAM PLE FORM Quality Assurance/Quality Control Contract Name: Manhole Rehabilitation Contract No: Contractor/Installer: Construction Observer/Inspector: Report No. Weather: Structure Temp: Ambient Surface Other Work in Progress: Inspection Performance Acceptable Results No. Quality Assurance Standard Quality Quality Control Pass/Fail Comments 1 2 Visual inspection of structure substrate after cleaning and preparation Industry Standard Test substrate for soundness. SSPCSP 13 NACE No. 6 100% Visually inspect surfaces to be coated for effective removal of existing coatings, unsound substrate, laitance, infiltration. Visually identify prob lem areas. 100% Lightly scratch prepared concrete surfaces with a screwdriver or pocket knife. The scratch should leave a shiny mark with no loose particles from the surface. Otherwise, re-prep and re-inspect. Product Technical Data Sheet (ratio) 100% Visually observe mixed color which should b e homogenous without marbling effect. Inspection recordkeeping of applicator for material usage of product components, verify proper usage. 4 Visual inspection of product application and documentation of proper material ratio/usage Wet Film Thick ness (WFT) measured during application. NOTE: When applying fast setting polyurethanes, this test is not applicable. Use the adhesion test to also measure mil thick ness. ASTM D-4414 No less than 90% or greater than 120% Measure and record the WFT in at least four locations for every 500 sf and each coat of material applied. 5 Holiday Detection using a high voltage holiday detector. NACE RPO188 100% Confirm conductivity by inducing holiday and calib rating detector. Test entire coated surface. Repair and retest as required. 6 Adhesion Testing using a Elcometer Model 106 on a minimum of 10% of the manhole structures coated. As specified Perform a minimum of three pull tests per manhole at locations randomly selected. Evaluate results and repair coating where tested. 3 ASTM D-4541 Owners Representative: Name Contractor/Installer Representative: Name Al l QA/QC as per speci fi c manufa cturer's recommendati ons. Signature Record dolly location, pull strength (psi), mode of failure and whether dolly was scored or unscored. Date Signature Date
IMPROVED QUALITY CONTROL QA/QC during construction with Trained Inspectors & Documentation
QUALIFIED CONTRACTORS >90% of all failures result from improper installation! Contractor Requirements Certification of Training Manufacturer Third party NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) SSPC (The Society for Protective Coatings) Experience Similar scope, size or training Actual Field Experience References
Quality Control - Materials Established manufacturers that implement QC during manufacturing (ISO 9000) Suitable for application in specified environment Capable of providing protection and/or structural needs Field tested and proven Independent and certified third party laboratory testing
EQUIPMENT Equipment is product dependent Some can be mobilized into underground structures as necessary Efficiency and production varies (Brush, roller, troweled or spray applications)
VISUAL INSPECTION Cracking, pinholes, exposed substrate Proper bench and invert rebuild Frame/chimney sealing Pipe joint seals Step removal or replacement
MONOLITHIC INSTALLATION Holiday (Spark) Testing A barrier without fault provides effective long-term elimination of infiltration and corrosion protection Refer to NACE RPO188-Concrete & Steel Refer to ASTM G627-87-Steel Pipe
HOLIDAY (SPARK) TESTING EQUIPMENT
ADHESION A verifiably acceptable mechanical bond to the host structure is essential for long-term performance. USE EXPERIENCED INSPECTORS FOLLOW ASTM D7234-05 or MODIFIED ASTM D4541-02 STANDARDS NOTE: ASTM D7234-05 includes cohesion and adhesion test formulas A CLEAN AND DRY SURFACE WILL PROVIDE OPTIMAL RESULTS!
