          C.The Contractor will provide a supervisor at the work site during cleaning and application operations. The supervisor will have the authority to sign change orders, coordinate work and make decisions pertaining to the fulfillment of the contract.
 
          D.Thinning is permitted only as recommended by Manufacturer and approved by the Architect.
 
          E.Dust, dirt, oil, grease, or any foreign matter that will affect the adhesion or durability of the finish must be removed by washing with clean rags dipped in an approved cleaning solvent and wiped dry with clean rags.
 
          F.Coating and painting equipment must be designed for application of materials specified and maintained in first class working condition. Compressors must have suitable traps and filters to remove water and oils from the air. Equipment will be subject to approval of the Architect.
 
          G.Application of first coat will follow immediately after surface preparation and cleaning and stripe coat, if applicable, before rust bloom occurs or the same day, whichever is less. Any cleaned areas not receiving first coat within this period must be recleaned prior to application of first coat. Use of dehumidification equipment must be first reviewed by the Architect and coatings manufacturer prior to deviating from this provision.
 
          H.Prior to assembly, all surfaces made inaccessible after assembly shall be prepared as specified herein and shall receive the coating or paint system specified.

          B.Coating System Application:
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Modify the following paragraphs as required for the project.
          1.General Application: After completion of surface preparation as specified for the specific system, materials are to be applied as specified herein.
          a.Apply all coatings in accordance with manufacturer's instructions approved submittals, and in proper relationship with adjacent construction.
          b.Keep containers closed when not in use to avoid contamination.
          c.Do not use mixed coatings beyond pot life limits.
          d.Use application equipment, tools, pressure settings, and techniques in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
          e.Apply coatings to be free of film characteristics or defects that would adversely affect performance or appearance of coating systems.
          f.Stripe paint with brush critical locations on steel such as welds, corners, and edges using specified primer. Apply and additional strip coat of the intermediate coating material in immersion areas.
          g.Roll or back roll the first coat of epoxy or block filler applied to concrete or interior block substrates to work the material into the substrate.
          2.Mixing: Thoroughly mix coatings until homogeneous following manufacturer's instructions. Mix only components furnished by coating manufacturer.
          3.Care shall be taken to eliminate overspray and dry spray. Where such conditions are encountered, the surface shall be cleaned of all over spray and dry spray prior to the application of the succeeding coat.
          4.Areas rendered inaccessible after erection shall receive the full coating system prior to erection and/or assembly.
          5.Repair of Damaged Coatings/Linings:
          a.Damaged coatings, pinholes, and holidays shall have the edges feathered and repaired in accordance with the recommendations of the coating manufacturer.
          b.All finish coats, including touchup and damage-repair coats, shall be applied in a manner that will present a uniform texture and color-matched appearance.
          c.All visible areas of chipped, peeled, or abraded coatings shall be hand or power sanded. Prime and finish coat these in accordance with these Specifications and the manufacturer's recommendations.
          6.Unsatisfactory Application: If an item has an improper appearance or insufficient film thickness, the surface shall be cleaned, prepared, and top-coated as required to achieve proper appearance and/or thickness.
          **NOTE TO SPECIFIER** Add, delete, or modify paragraphs as required. Consult Carboline for project-specific field quality control recommendations for field service documentation.
 
          3.5FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
 
          A.Required Inspection and Documentation:
          1.Verify coatings and other materials are as specified.
          2.Verify environmental conditions are as specified.
          3.Verify surface preparation and application are as specified.
          4.Verify DFT of each coat and total DFT of each coating system are as specified using wet film and dry film gauges. Measure DFTs in accordance with SSPC-PA 2.
          5.Coating Defects: Check coatings for film characteristics or defects that would adversely affect performance or appearance of coating systems.
          6.Check for holidays (pinholes) on interior steel immersion surfaces using holiday detector in accordance with NACE SP0188 or SSPC-TU 11 using a safe blue light inspection lamps if OAP technology is used.
 
          B.Reporting: To Include the Following:
          1.Daily Inspection reports, including inspections made and actions taken to correct non-confirming work.
          2.Report non-conforming work not corrected.
          3.Submit copies of report to Architect and Contractor.
 
          C.Independent Third Party Inspection:
          1.The services of an independent coating inspector may be retained and paid for by the Owner to inspect the surface preparation and application of the specified coatings.
          2.Contractor will cooperate with inspector to provide safe access for inspection and conduct thorough inspection of substrates or linings to ensure that work is done in accordance with contract documents.
          3.Applicator and Contractor are responsible to provide a minimum of 48 hours of notice to inspector for inspection points identified at the start of the lining work.
          4.Should Contractor not be ready for a mutually agreed upon date for an inspection and inspector shows up on site, the Contractor will be responsible to pay for the inspector's time for any wasted inspection trips.
