Résumé : |
Maintenance painting on offshore oil production structures in the Gulf of Mexico presents extremely severe environmental challenges, both for the contractor’s surface preparation and coating application, and for the service life of the applied coating system. Very high costs, limited space, poor working conditions and the constant threat of delays from bad weather all conspire against getting a project done exactly according to specification, SSPC-PA 2 and best painting practice. But because of the severity of the environment, minor shortcuts that might not even be noticed long-term in an onshore mild environment project can wreak havoc on an offshore structure. |

- Fig. 1. Bare, rusty steel in failed areas showed different levels of inorganic zinc residue
- Fig. 2. This nonferrous machinery cover showed the same type of coating failure due to poor surface preparation and excessive coating system thickness
- Fig. 3. Many areas had lost the coating system to bare steel; in others, the coating was still in place but disbonded, with rust beneath |
