Résumé : |
Consider the following scenario, which points out one of the
worst disappointments in the painting of steel structures.
The owner carefully plans a project to include a well-written specification, careful material evaluation and selection, a qualified contractor, and thorough inspection of the work. The project is done on time, within budget, and with no claims for extra work. Two years later, visual inspection of the project reveals that 99% of the painting work shows no signs of failure. Yet, essentially every edge, boit, and weld is rusting. What happened ?
The project specification did not require "striping" or "stripe coating" of all edges and welds during the painting work. Is this the problem? Maybe...maybe not. |
