PROTECTIVE COATINGS FOR STEEL PILING: RESULTS OF 30-MONTH TESTS
Abstract
Object of task is to evaluate various coatings in order to determine which coating offers maximum protection to steel piling. Eight coating systems selected from a previous study was evaluated by the Laboratory as protective coating systems for steel piles. The systems were applied to both sheet and 'H' piles. The coated piles were driven in the surf of the outer harbor at Port Hueneme and exposed for periods of 12 to 30 months. Based on over-all protection to the three exposure zones (splash, tidal, and embedded) together with cost considerations, a vinyl mastic coating system provided the most economical protection to the steel piling during the 30-month exposure period.
