1.1 This guide is intended as an information aid to painting inspectors in carrying out their tasks correctly and efficiently. It includes the key elements of surface preparation, coatings application, and final approval for both field and shop work. The items should be selected that are pertinent to a specific project. Note 1: For additional helpful information, refer to the following documents: Manual of Concrete Practice ACI 515R American Concrete Institute 2 Manual of Coating Work for Light Water Nuclear Power Plant Primary Containment and Other Safety Related Facilities 3 Steel Structures Painting Manual Vol. 1 - Good Painting Practices 4 Steel Structures Painting Manual Vol. 2 - Systems and Specifications 4 Manufacturers Specifications and Instructions (made available to the inspector for reference to special requirements for proper application) Safety Data Sheets (needed to ensure that personnel take necessary precautions in handling hazardous materials). Available from Materials manufacturer. 1.2 Certain industries or owners may require certified inspection personnel. See Guide D4537 for establishing procedures to certify inspectors for coating work in nuclear facilities. AMPP offers a training and certification program for concrete coating inspection. 4 1.3 In certain cases the inspector may be required to assess the condition of the concrete substrate. SSPC has published an illustrated guide for performing a concrete condition assessment. 4 1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
