In-Place Application and Performance of Maintenance Coating on Naval Steel Sheet Piling.
Abstract
Several materials and application procedures have been investigated for use in the in- place maintenance painting of steel piling. Coatings designed for application to dry sandblasted piling above the waterline have performed well for three years. Coatings designed for application between tides, so that they are wetted with seawater almost immediately after application, or for application underwater, have performed well for two years. Application above water was accomplished by conventional spraying. Part of the application between tides and a few feet below mean low water was accomplished by a special cofferdam designed for use on steel sheet piling. A quick emplacement modification of the cofferdam reduced the time for installation from 90 minutes to 30 minutes and rendered the cofferdam operationally safe. Coatings applied below water were specially formulated for underwater brush application and successfully applied. (Author-PL)
