PART 2 - PRODUCTS

2.1 GENERAL

All exposed and uninsulated pipes, ferrous supports, gantries, brackets and steelwork in the
Contract works shall be painted in accordance with this section of the Specification.

The contractor shall obtain from the supplier of any paint or similar product detailed instructions
for the use of that product, specific to the conditions found on the contract. These shall include
details of storage, preparation of steelwork, application method and conditions, over coating and
any other relevant points.

The contractor shall comply with the manufacturer's instructions for the use of any product, unless
these are in conflict with the requirements of this specification. Areas of conflict shall be brought to
the attention of the Owner's Authorized Representative.

2.2 APPLICATION OF PAINT

SURFACE PREPARATION
Prior to surface preparation the steel surfaces shall be cleaned of dirt, grease, loose rust and other
contaminants. No pipe shall be used which has corrosion.

The contractor shall ensure that all pipe work shall be delivered from the factory thoroughly blast
cleaned to acceptable quality, and suitably protected to prevent rust formation before application of
the paint scheme. The surface roughness after cleaning shall not exceed apeak-to-trough
amplitude of 80um.

Prior to application of primer steel surfaces shall be cleaned of dirt, grease and other contaminants.
Any rust present shall be completely removed by blast cleaning or wire brushing to the standard
noted above. Severely pitted steelwork shall not be used.

Section 15052

Standard Specification

Galvanized steel shall be degreased by scrubbing with a warm detergent solution (2% Teepol or
equivalent) followed by water washing, followed by treatment with a mordant solution followed by
water washing once the surface has returned black. Any areas where the surface does not turn
black shall be recleaned and re-treated.

The quality of surface preparation specified must be obtained at the time of priming.

Areas to be welded shall be masked off prior to priming, and re-prepared and primed to the same
quality after welding.

2.3 PAINT SCHEME

The criteria in the following clauses shall be used to define which scheme should be used in a given
situation where not specifically given in the paint scheme schedule.

SCHEME P/1: Internal uninsulated steel pipe work and internal steel support systems (in a dry
place).

SCHEME P/2 : Internal insulated steel pipe work (in a dry space away from the building
perimeter, where condensation is likely to occur only in exceptional
circumstances. Includes pipes which are insulated with an integral vapour
barrier.)

SCHEME P/3: External and lightwell insulated steel pipe work and all steel support systems ( in a
position in which condensation is likely to occur from time to time, and in which
the paint is unlikely to be maintained).

SCHEME P/4 : Internal uninsulated steel pipe work and internal steel support systems (in a
position in which condensation is likely to occur from time to time, and in which
maintenance of the paint is possible).

SCHEME P/5 : External galvanized steel pipe work and external galvanized steel supports.

If the Contractor has reason to believe that the conditions will in fact be more onerous than those in
the relevant clause above, he shall draw this to the attention of the Owner's Authorized
Representative.

The various paint schemes shall be as detailed below (DFT shall mean dry film thickness):

SCHEME P/1 Surface preparation : As above

Primer : Zinc phosphate oil/alkyd primer, 40 microns DFT

Finishes : Oil/alkyd finish (colour specified elsewhere)

SCHEME P/2 Surface preparation : As above

Primer : Zinc phosphate oil/alkyd primer, 40 microns DFT.

SCHEME P/3 Surface preparation : Type 1

Primer : Zinc phosphate oil/alkyd primer, 40 microns DFT

Barrier coat (1) : High build bituminous coating, chocolate brown,

100 microns DFT

Barrier coat (2) : High build bituminous coating, black, 100 microns
DFT

Standard Specification

SCHEME P/4 Surface preparation : Type 1

Primer : Zinc phosphate oil/alkyd primer, 40 microns DFT

Barrier : Oil/alkyd MIO barrier coat, 75 microns DFT

Undercoat : Oil/alkyd undercoat, 40 microns DFT

Finish : Oil/alkyd finish

SCHEME P/5 Surface preparation : Etch prime

Barrier : Cold tar epoxy, 125 microns DFT

Where a Contractor wishes to modify the specified paint scheme he shall demonstrate that the
proposed alternative is at least equivalent to the specified scheme, and that it will not create
compatibility problems with any adjacent scheme.

All paints in a single scheme shall be supplied by the same manufacturer.

Primers in which red oxide (red iron oxide) is the primary colouring agent shall not be used.

2.4 APPLICATION OF PAINT

The Contractor shall demonstrate by means of samples submitted before commencement of the
work, the methods he intends to use and the quality of work that will be achieved.

All work adjudged by the Owner's Authorized Representative to be worse in quality than the
samples shall be rejected.

All painting shall be carried out by skilled painters under competent supervision.

Each coat of paint shall be applied to a clean and suitable surface to produce a continuous film of
paint of uniform and even thickness.

As soon as the priming coat has dried, an extra stripe coat of paint shall be applied to all edges,
corners, cervices, bolt heads, welds and any similar areas, using the same paint as for the primer
but in a contrasting shade.

The dry film thickness shall be measured after each coat has dried. Wet film thickness
measurements shall not be used, other than for control purposes.

The adhesion of the paint scheme shall be measured and carried out on representative areas
chosen to be non-obtrusive in the final condition. Areas worse than that standard shall be cleaned
to bare metal and repainted.

The test areas shall be touched-up in accordance with this Specification.

2.5 Damaged Surfaces

The Contractor take all necessary precautions to minimize damage to steal and to paint coatings
during handling, installation and thereafter.

Where damage or breakdown has occurred, or in any other place where the paintwork does not
comply with this Specification the Contractor shall touch-up to an equivalent standard to the
ub\damaged paint, and in such a way that the areas of touch-up shall not be visually apparent.

Standard Specification

The Contractor shall demonstrate to the Owner's Authorized Representative that his proposals for
touching-up shall include details of surface preparation, area of overlap, type and thickness of paint
to be used and any other relevant features, shall produce work in accordance with this
Specification.

2.6 PIPEWORK IDENTIFICATION

Pipe work identification shall be in accordance with the pipe work Identification Specification system
should be conformed with hotel identification system necessary coordination should be done to
have the same shape and quality of work.
