Maintenance Painting of Steel Structures

Abstract

This paper is intended to assist those responsible for mitigating corrosion on existing structures. The following factors involved in maintenance painting are discussed: (1) degree of destruction of existing coatings that can be allowed before repainting is required; (2) determination of the most economical surface preparation; (3) selection of the paint system which gives the most economical performance; (4) preparation of specifications covering the work to be done; and (5) inspection of the cleaning and painting operation.
