1 InspectThis! Fall 2013

Supplement to CoatingsPro Magazine Fall 2013

Now, if all work meets the specification, hold point inspection will be adequate. However, this is seldom the case. With full-time inspection, the inspector is ob-serving the work at all times and could point out the noncompliance issues as they occur and prevent the need for much in the way of rework, thus saving the contractor and owner money.

Full-time inspection provides other advantages as well, including frequent monitoring of environmental conditions, observing the mixing of the coatings, observing the blasting and application of the coatings, checking wet film thickness as the coatings are applied, and many others. Inspecting the work as it pro-gresses is always better, and more eco-nomical, than inspecting the work after each phase is completed.

I realize this example is oversimpli-fied but it points out what could hap-pen, and often does, when only hold point inspection is specified. The cost of rework is always higher than the cost of inspection so the cost of full-time inspection will pay for itself many times over. !

Full-Time Inspection vs. Hold Point InspectionBy Malcolm McNeil, CIP Committee Chair

Often specifica-tions for coat-ings projects

will call for hold point inspection rather than full-time inspection. The reason obviously is to cut the cost of inspec-

tion. This could be because of inadequate funds in the budget or simply trying to save money on the project. The question is, does this method actually save money on a coatings project? Often it does not.

Let’s compare full-time inspection and hold point inspection on a theoretical coating project. Assume that the specifi-cation calls for the exterior of a new carbon steel storage tank to be abrasive-blasted to NACE No. 3/SSPC-SP 6 “Com-mercial Blast Cleaning,” with a surface profile of 1.0 to 2.0 mils (25 to 51 µm), with a coating system consisting of one coat of inorganic ethyl silicate zinc rich primer (solvent borne) applied at 1.5 to 2.5 mils (38 to 64 µm) dry, followed by an intermediate coat of a polyamide ep-oxy applied at 4.0 to 6.0 mils (102 to 152 µm) dry, with a topcoat of polyurethane applied at 2.0 to 3.0 mils (76 µm) dry.

Hold point inspection requires the inspector to be on site for his or her in-spection responsibilities at designated points during the surface preparation and coating application. The specifica-tion writer for the above theoretical project has designated the following hold points: before the blasting starts, after blasting and before the primer is applied, after the primer is applied and before the intermediate coat is applied, after the intermediate coat is applied and before the topcoat is applied, and after the top-coat is applied. Specified inspections to

be performed consist of checking the surface for oil, grease, and other con-taminants before blasting commences; checking the degree of cleanliness and surface profile after blasting and before the primer is applied; checking the dry film thickness (DFT) of the primer before the intermediate coat is applied; check-ing the DFT of the primer and intermedi-ate coat together before the application of the topcoat; and checking the total DFT of the three coats after the topcoat is applied. This is a partial list of what we would like to see specified but for the sake of our example let’s use the above.

Areas of concern with the above-specified hold points and inspections could be that the surface profile being achieved by the blast does not meet the specification. The coating inspector will not discover this until at least one day of blasting is completed. If the profile doesn’t meet the specification, the contractor will have to rework the area blasted and bring it into compliance with the specification before any primer can be applied. This will create extra cost for the contractor and will delay the progress of the coating schedule, which may increase the cost to the owner as well.

The next specified hold point is after the primer is applied and before the interme-diate coat is applied. If the DFT of the primer does not meet the specification, the inspector will not discover this until at least one day of priming. The contractor will have to do rework on the area primed to bring it into compliance before the in-termediate coat can be applied. This will create extra cost for the contractor and put the project further behind schedule. The same concerns follow for each phase of the hold point inspection process.


In Anchorage, Alaska, Danny Crow was feeling lucky as he sat down in class ready to begin the NACE Coating

Inspector Program (CIP) Level 2 course. He won a free seat in the course after submitting an entry into the InspectThis! CIP course giveaway drawing. Each is-sue a winner is drawn and awarded free

attendance to a CIP course, courtesy of NACE International.

“When I learned I won, my first reac-tion was, yes! I always read InspectThis!,” says Crow. “I thought, most people don’t think they’ll win, so I submitted it.”

Crow, a project manager for A to Z Construction in Eagle River, Alaska, says

he had set aside a budget to attend the CIP Level 2 course for next year. But winning it was better, and the prize came at the perfect time too.

“It looks like I have a project coming up later this year. The client was really want-ing a CIP Level 2. This became a win-win for me and my client.”

Before passing the course and earning his CIP Level 2 certification, Crow was certified to CIP Level 1 and CIP Level 1 with Bridge Specialty. “I know my steel, I know my concrete and my normal coatings. But the new information we were exposed to in Level 2 was great education.”

Crow says that having the certifica-tion adds value to his business. “NACE CIP Level 2 certification gives me more selling power. Getting NACE certifica-tion shows that we have integrity as a contractor. We’re not scared to have a standard. It shows that we’re serious about what we do.”

Another result of Crow’s attendance was the valuable networking contacts he made with others taking the course. “I sat next to a guy with 40 years in the industry. He’s coated some of the great bridges of the world. I got his number. If I need to contain a bridge, he’s my man.”

Fall 2013 InspectThis! 3

There are many exper ienced coating inspectors and paint representatives who can relate

to the statement, “The newly painted equipment that just arrived needs significant paint repairs.” This is most common outside the construction site on packages supplied by “others.” There are numerous and complicated reasons for the previous statement.

Recently, I received a phone call from a severely agitated, experienced, and well-known paint representative in the industry. The conversation began some-thing like this: “How does your client expect us to provide a marine warranty for paint on this equipment when nobody at the client level watched the surface preparation and application? Have you seen the pictures?” My response was, “The client assigned a mechanical in-spector to watch the surface preparation and painting, and I am the one who sent you the pictures.”

I had begged the client early in the project to hire qualified, experienced, and certified coating inspectors, but I received the typical response from the project manager: “It’s just paint and any-body can inspect paint.” Again, I insisted on qualified, experienced, and certified coating inspectors. His second and final response was, “Our mechanical inspec-tor has been around paint before and we don’t have the money in the budget to hire an additional inspector.” I respond-ed that I hoped the client had plenty of money in the budget to repair the paint system upon arrival at the installation yard or offshore structure because the cost of a certified and experienced paint inspector is pennies compared to what one has to pay for repairs.

Case HistoryThis may sound absurd, but many of our readers have experienced the same sce-nario dozens of times with tremendous disgust at the wasted money and effort. On a recent project, I was asked to travel and meet the mechanical inspector on

location to look at the finished paint job. We found visibly poor feathered edges, trash embedded within the coating, dry spray, visible runs and sags, the wrong color, the wrong paint system, the coating was not cured, no stripe coat was applied, partial kits were mixed or product was mixed incorrectly and in dirty containers

with the wrong solvent, rust was visible through the coating, and there were no available paint reports.

The list goes on to include excessive film build, holidays, mechanical damage, and much more. Figures 1 through 4 show examples of common coating failures.

This particular piece of equipment was


paint at the vendor yard. The owner spent three times the amount of money to re-pair the job than it cost to paint it in the first place.

Notable PrecautionsHow much money was saved after the cost for the repairs was added up? Wouldn’t it have been less expensive if a qualified, experienced, and certified coating inspec-tor had been assigned to prevent rework? Inspectors who are assigned to roles to which they may not be qualified should ask for help or explain that they do not know enough about the technical aspects of surface preparation and coating before the work begins to ensure the perfor-mance of the coating system over the intended service life.

The Role of a Coating InspectorMany mechanical inspectors have been around painting for years and many coat-ing inspectors have been around welding and electrical work for years, but I have never experienced coating inspectors watching over welding or electrical work. Volts, amps, travel speed, welding con-sumables, position, root spacing, welding process, and joint preparation are crucial considerations for sound weldments. Likewise, dew point, relative humidity, surface temperature, air temperature,

scheduled for delivery in two days. The scenario was further complicated since the mechanical inspector called the in-spection coordinator and project man-ager and proceeded to communicate how picky the coating inspector was since the equipment didn’t need an “automobile finish.” The plant manager came down, the coating inspector walked him through all the issues, and he realized that the

inspector was “spot on” with regards to the findings. However, the equipment had to be delivered and there was no time to repair it before it left. Next, the mechani-cal inspector stated that he was not a coating inspector and that someone should have requested one sooner.

The equipment was shipped to the in-stallation yard on time since there was no more time in the schedule to correct the

depth of profile, abrasive type, degree of cleanliness, degree of blast, applicator technique, pot pressure, fan width, and air pressure are equally important consid-erations for a paint job.

A coating inspector with formal coat-ing training and certification knows how to properly take surface profile readings, calibrate dry film thickness (DFT) gauges, use DFT gauges, use wet film thickness gauges, discern the difference between degrees of abrasive blasting, and be famil-iar with such standards as SSPC-VIS 1, VIS 2, and PA 2. In addition, the inspector must know what proper feathering looks like, know when the air pressure is too high, know when the pot pressure is too high, know when to use low-voltage holiday detection as opposed to high-voltage holiday detection, know the dif-ferences in airless sprays vs. conventional spray, etc. Formal training, certification, and experience are required to inspect paint properly.

Industry needs to change the way bud-gets are established for inspections and realize the importance of utilizing qualified, experienced, and certified coating inspectors. Welding and paint-ing are very different crafts that require differing levels of expertise. Metals and equipment are only as good as the coat-ing protecting them. Metal never stops trying to return to its original state as an ore, and this process is accelerated under many conditions.


The cost of corrosion in the United States in 2013 exceeded $1 trillion (6% of the GDP) so why do we continue to make poor decisions in the way we budget and inspect coatings?

On most large construction sites, ade-quate inspectors are provided for their respective crafts. At off-site vendor loca-tions, however, the inspection coverage may be marginal at best and rarely does one find inspectors for their respective crafts. Usually the mechanical inspector watches all of it. On most large projects, the equipment packages equal the cost of the structure at the construction site. In short, there is a lot of painting and it be-comes costly when the paint job is not performed according to the requirements of the client or paint manufacturer, lead-ing to failure.

Paint warranties from the paint manu-facturer come with most large projects but they do not include the application. I have heard management tell me many times, “It does not matter, we have a war-ranty from the paint manufacturer and someone else will bear the cost if it fails.” It is quite a surprise when a letter comes

later describing how the cost of the repairs will not be covered since the paint manu-facturer’s requirements for surface prepa-ration and application were not followed. Again, most paint warranties cover the paint materials only. It is in the best inter-est of the client to ensure that the manu-facturer’s recommendations for surface preparation and application are followed through the use of experienced, qualified, and certified coating inspectors. If the recommendations of the paint manufac-turer for surface preparation and applica-tion are not followed and properly docu-mented, it will be very hard, if not impossible, to prove the problem to be with the paint material.

ConclusionsIt can be very frustrating for a coating inspector to arrive on a location after the coating work has been completed and have to inform the project manager that the work is no good and must be repaired. It is equally frustrating to a mechanical inspector to be informed that this happened on his watch. Like-

wise, it can cause problems with the contractor since the company had an inspector present watching the work, qualified or not. Experienced, qualified, and certified welding inspectors know fabrication and experienced, qualified, and certified coating inspectors know paint. Stick with the experts in their respective fields and more times than not, the result will be quality work that makes your project “shine.”

It is up to the project manager to rec-ognize the expertise needed and the po-

tential problems that may occur without using qualified personnel. Finally, don’t blame the paint manufacturer; the manu-facturer supplies the paint and is there to provide technical support as requested. One cannot expect the product to per-form if no one ensures proper surface preparation and application through proper inspection coverage. The cost of inspection today is much cheaper than the cost of rework tomorrow. !
