Coating Specification for Aircraft Maintenance Hangar: Barksdale Air Force Base

Abstract

A hangar floor condition assessment in accordance to the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Centers (NFESC) Users Guide titled Condition Assessment and Coating Recommendations for Aircraft Maintenance Hangars (UG - 2036 - SHR) is required prior to coating the hangar. A thin film coating system may be applied to floor surfaces if the hangar displays the following condition assessment results: 1) Smooth concrete surface texture, 2) Average moisture vapor emission rate <3.0 lbs/24 hours, 1000 ft2, 3) Average concrete surface strength > 200 psi, and 3) Average surface depth of hydrocarbon contamination < 3/8. A thin film coating system may be applied to floors with a coarse surface texture, however the concretes surface texture may mirror through the coating system to decrease aesthetics. Installation costs: $3.00 - $4.25ft2. Thickness: > 16 mils. Approximate service life: Overcoating at 4 years. Benefits: Low cost, fast installation, and average applicator skill. The Thin Film Coating System specification is enclosed in Appendix A.
