• PRE-SURFACE PREPARATION

    In pre-surface preparation, surfaces to be prepared will be inspected to assure oil, grease, sharp edges and

    rough patches from welds are removed.

• ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS & DATA LOGGING

    Dew points, relative humidity, as well as air and surface temperatures are monitored, documented and

    recorded to assure that work is performed under the proper weather and environmental conditions.

• COMPRESSED AIR CLEANLINESS

    Operations requiring blasting, conventional spray application, and air for blow down are check to assure that

    air is free of moisure and oil contamination prior to application.

• SURFACE PREPARATION

    In surface preparation, abrasive equipment used is examined for adequacy to do the work.  We inspect and

    verify the sizing of the abrasives and that they are properly stored in accordance to specified standards.

    Recycled abrasives are tested for contamination, proper degree of cleaning; surface profile is confirmed and

    magnetic base readings are obtained.  Areas of inadequate or insufficient surface preparation are marked for

    repair and rework prior to the applicaton of coatings.

• PRODUCT MIXING

    Mixing of product is observed to document that the specified material is used and that multiple

    components are used within allowable pot and shelf lives.  Every batch and lot number is documented

    for tracking purposes.

• CONFORMATION OF PROPER PRODUCT APPLICABILITY

    Product application equipment is examined for cleanliness and adequacy to preform the work. Application

    techniques are observed and documented to ensure that coverage is obtained without detrimental runs,

    pinholes, sags, or other deficiences.  Film thickness readings are taken to ensure correct amount of material

    is used.

• WET/DRY FILM THICKNESS

    Film thickness of individual coats is measured and documented to ensure the product complies with the

    specification requirements and manufacturer's instructions.  Spot wet film thickness readings are taken to

    ensure that the correct amount of product/material is used and all dry film thickness surveys are measured

    in accordance with SSPC-P A2 Standards.

• ​INTERCOAT CLEANLINESS

     Between each coat and application, the integrity and cleanliness is examined.  This includes determination

     that the surfaces are free from oil, grease, dry spray, over spray, and/or other detrmental contamination.

• RECOAT TIMES

     Timing between each coat and application can be critical for certain products and materials.  The minimum

     and maximum recoat times are observed and recorded.  Required conditioning agents or roughening between

     the coating applications will be also be observed and verified they have been accomplished prior to recoat.

•  HOLIDAY TESTING

     Following the adequate curing time of applied material, holiday testing is performed to assure coverage is

     continuous and free from voids, pinholes, and other dificiences.

• FINAL INSPECTION

     During Final Inspection, the entire coating system is examined until a quality product has been achieved.

     Finals inspections involve visual appearance, cure assessment, and holiday detection.

•  DOCUMENTATION

      Detailed Daily Reports will be included in a PDF file with digital photographs and electronically mailed to the

      Project Engineer or Proprietor on a daily basis to keep them informed of daily progress. The general progress

      of the initial field work will be thoroughly documented in Daily Inspection Reports will will include a record of

      the quality control items listed in Justice Coating Inspection & Consulting LLC's general procedure checklist.

      Upon completion of project, a formal report will accompany all the daily detailed reports.  

      This FINAL REPORT will summarize the work performed on the Coating Application Project.
