About this file

This is a technical specification document for coating services related to the Webster Dam Spillway Radial Gates Repair project. The specification establishes requirements for applying a new 3-coat epoxy/polysiloxane coating system to exterior radial gates, gallery components, and associated structures.

The scope includes coating three radial gates (exterior faces, edges, radial arms, trunnion blocks, and counterweight frames), two floatwell covers and frames, and gallery metalwork (ladders, pipework, vent work, conduit, and metal fixtures). Pricing is provided on a lump-sum basis for the radial gates and gallery work, with spot repair interior gate work priced per square foot. The specification requires application of 2 base coats at 4-8 mils dry film thickness (DFT) plus stripe coats, followed by 1 or more topcoats at 3-7 mils DFT, achieving a total system minimum of 11 mils and maximum of 23 mils measured to steel substrate. Surface preparation methods include SSPC-SP1 (solvent cleaning) followed by SSPC-SP10/NACE 2 (near-white blast cleaning) or Method H (SSPC-SP5/NACE 1), with Method C-1 for interior gate repairs. Approved coating materials include PPG Amerlock 400/PSX 700, PPG Sigmashield 880/PSX 700, or Sherwin Williams Duraplate 235/Sherloxane 800 in manufacturer's standard light color and gloss finish. The specification mandates comprehensive quality control testing including surface profile verification, compressed air quality checks, dry film thickness measurements, holiday (discontinuity) testing, and adhesion testing per ASTM D4541. Performance requirements include water immersion resistance (2-year ASTM D870 test), abrasion resistance (80 milligrams or less per ASTM D4060), direct impact resistance (40 inch-pounds per ASTM D2794), adhesion strength (1500 psi or greater), and cyclic salt fog/UV testing (1/4 inch or less undercutting at 3000 hours per ASTM D5894). Contractors must provide current SSPC-QP1 certification, applicators require CAS or PCAC certification with three comparable project references, and inspectors must hold Level 3 NACE CIP or SSPC PCI certification with five years of comparable experience. Environmental conditions must be maintained per manufacturer requirements with surface temperature at least 5 degrees Fahrenheit above dew point and 8 hours of dry-time post-application.
