PART 3 - EXECUTION
3-1. SURFACE PREPARATION. All surfaces to be coated shall be clean and
dry and shall meet the recommendations of the coating manufacturer for surface
preparation. Freshly coated surfaces shall be protected from dust and other
contaminants. Oil and grease shall be completely removed by use of solvents or
detergents before mechanical cleaning is started. The gloss of previously coated
surfaces shall be dulled if necessary for proper adhesion of topcoats.
(Carlsbad Water)
(Recycling Facility) 09940 -17-
Surfaces shall be free of cracks, pits, projections, or other imperfections that
would interfere with the formation of a smooth, unbroken coating film, except for
concrete block construction where a rough surface is an inherent characteristic.
When applying touchup coating or repairing previously coated surfaces, the
surfaces to be coated shall be cleaned as recommended by the coating
manufacturer and the edges shall be sanded or wire brushed to provide a
feathered or otherwise smoothed so that they will not be noticeable after they are
coated. All coatings made brittle or otherwise damaged by heat of welding shall
be completely removed.

in conformity with the instructions of the manufacturer of the epoxy enamel. Any
chemical treatment of galvanized surfaces shall be followed by thorough rinsing
with clean water.
3-1.02. Ferrous Metal Surfaces. Ungalvanized ferrous metal surfaces shall be
prepared for coating by cleaning using one or more of the following methods as
specified: solvents (SSPC-SPI); blasting (SSPC-SP5, -SP6, -SP7, or -SPlO);
power tools (SSPC-SP3 or -SP11); or hand tools (SSPC-SP2). Oil and grease
shall be completely removed in accordance with SSPC-SP1 before beginning
any other cleaning method. Surfaces of welds shall be scraped and ground as
necessary to remove all slag and weld spatter. Tools which produce excessive
roughness shall not be used.
All components of equipment that can be properly prepared and coated after
installation shall be installed prior to surface preparation. Components of
equipment that will be inaccessible after installation shall have the surfaces
prepared and coated prior to installation. Motors, drive trains, and bearings shall
be protected during surface preparation in accordance with the equipment
manufacturer's recommendations.
All cut or sheared edges shall be ground smooth to a 118 inch minimum radius
for all material 114 inch thickness and larger. For material thickness less than
114 inch [6 mm] all cut or sheared edges shall be ground smooth to a radius
equal to 112 the material thickness. Grinding of rolled edges on standard shapes
with a minimum radius of the 1/16 inch will not be required.
All ferrous metal surfaces shall have all welds ground smooth and free of all
defects in accordance with NACE Standard RP0178, Appendix C, Designation C
and sharp edges ground smooth, if not previously prepared in the shop. Instead
of blending of the weld with the base metal as required by the NACE standard, it
will be acceptable to furnish a welded joint that has a smooth transition of the
weld to the base metal. All welds shall be ground smooth to ensure satisfactory
paint adhesion.
