PROJECT ABSTRACT

Carolina Management Team was contracted by the U.S. Embassy in Suva, Fiji to assess and clean its concrete water storage tanks to determine recommendations for possible repairs and coating.

The Embassy’s water storage facilities consist of three concrete water storage tanks located in the basement of the compound. Two of the tanks are for the fire suppression system and one tank is for potable use. The two fire tanks and one potable water tank had not been drained, cleaned, or inspected since entering into service in 2011. The Embassy wants to use the fire tanks as a backup to the potable water tank when low flow conditions occur from the city water supply.

The fire storage tanks have a combined capacity of 188,000 liters and are interconnected. The potable water tank has a storage capacity of 12,000 liters. The internal walls of all tanks are coated with black CIM 1061. The access hatch, measuring 600mm x 800mm in size, is accessible via a fixed ladder and work platform.

The project team consisted of one inspector, one confined space attendant, and two technicians.

The project team conducted the cleaning, assessment, and super chlorination of the three water storage tanks at the Embassy from February 12, 2018 to February 17, 2018. The assessment of the two fire tanks and one potable tank was conducted by David Van Zee, Co-Owner of Carolina Management Team and a NACE Level 3 and SSPC Certified Coatings Inspector.

The purpose of this assessment was to inspect the structural integrity of the three tanks, as well as inspect the viability of the coatings on the three tanks.

Each of the three tanks was cleaned as well as inspected.

Cleaning Process

• 4,000 PSI water blaster was used with a 0 degree rotary nozzle to clean the film buildup on the tanks

• The specification requested that the tanks be cleaned by hand using no cleaning agents. Due to the nature of the film on the tanks, hand cleaning proved to be insufficient and special care was taken during the water blasting process, as not to damage the existing coatings

• Photos of the initial tank condition were taken upon arrival

PROJECT ABSTRACT

Inspection Process The assessment was a visual inspection with photos taken. In addition:

• Samples of delaminated coatings were taken

• Close inspection of the substrates was noted to determine the likely cause of failure

• The substrate surface profiles were compared to ICRI replica coupons and noted

• Defects of the coating system were noted on drawings

• Concrete was sounded with a hammer to determine if concrete delamination or hollow spots were present

This inspection was limited to nondestructive tests. It is possible that unknown conditions exist and that these conditions cannot be identified until removal of the coating system. It was not possible to determine the moisture vapor transmission rate because it would require destruction of the existing coating. Therefore, contingency measures should be considered prior to repairs being made to the coating system.

Other contingency measures that should be considered are ground water intrusion, insufficient (or too aggressive) substrate surface profile, exposed rebar, and poor concrete conditions. An additional assessment should be conducted after the coating defects are removed to address any conditions that do not meet the repair procedures specified in the latest version of the CIM IG-2 Instruction Guide Application of CIM to concrete. See attached Appendix.

Inspection Findings The visual inspections of the three tanks revealed that all tanks appear to be structurally sound. The visual inspections found the concrete to be sound, with no major cold joint separation cracks, and no exposed rebar or rebar rust staining. There are several coating defects in the lining system that have delaminated and could cause catastrophic failure to the fire suppression system.

Delaminated coating material could potentially get sucked into the fire pumps and clog the sprinkler heads.

All three tanks have delaminating coatings around the pipe penetrations that are below the water line. The steel fire pump suction pipe and diffuser are severely corroded around the nuts and bolts, and moderately corroded on the pipe and base plate. In the potable water tank, the effluent chlorine diffuser plate bolts are severely corroded and there is minor corrosion on the plate itself.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Fire Water Tank 1 The failure of the coating system on various areas of the floor and walls creates the possibility that the delaminated coating could clog the sprinkler heads causing catastrophic failure to the fire suppression system. As result, we recommend:

• Removing the coating from the floor and from 1 foot above the wall, saw cut terminations, mechanically abrade 6” overlap to the existing coating, prime and coat per instruction guide CIM IG-2. Application of CIM to Concrete using CIM 1061 or CIM 1000 Trowel Grade

• Repairing any coating failures on walls and pipe penetrations by removing delaminated areas, saw cut terminations, mechanically abrade 6” overlap to the existing coating, prime and coat per instruction guide CIM IG-2. Application of CIM to Concrete using CIM 1000 Trowel Grade

• Preparing the fire tank effluent steel pipe aid diffuser plate per SSPC- SP11 “Hand/power tool clean to bare metal” with a 2-3 mil profile.

Applying 2 coats of NSF 61 Epoxy at 4-8 mils per coat

Fire Tank 2 The failure of the coating system on various areas of the walls creates the possibility that the delaminated coating could clog the sprinkler heads causing catastrophic failure to the fire suppression system. As result, we recommend:

• Repairing any coating failures on walls, floor, and pipe penetrations by removing delaminated areas, saw cut terminations, mechanically abrade 6” overlap to the existing coating, prime and coat per instruction guide CIM IG-2. Application of CIM to Concrete using CIM 1000 Trowel Grade

• Preparing the fire tank effluent steel pipe and diffuser plate per SSPC- SP11 “Hand/power tool clean to bare metal” with a 2-3 mil profile.

Applying 2 coats of NSF 61 Primer at 4-8 mils per coat

Potable Water Tank 3 We recommend that recoating of this tank is optional because the failure of the coating system on various areas of the floor and walls is not causing water quality issues and the tanks are not leaking. If a decision is made to repair the lining system, note the manufacturer’s two week cure time requirement for potable water service.

Entry was made into this tank on Tuesday, February 13, 2018 and Wednesday, February 14, 2018. The tank was accessed through a manway entry approximately 3 meters up the side of the tank, measuring 600mm x 800mm. Upon entry, the tank had 254mm to 305mm of water at the bottom due to the drain line being located on the side of the tank. Draining the excess water from the bottom of the tank took approximately 2 hours using a trash pump.

Tank #1 was cleaned by water blasting using 4,000 PSI and a rotary nozzle. Most of the film build up was removed from the walls and ceiling, with the exception of areas with coating failure that would have been too destructive to clean. The floor of the tank had an inter-coat delamination between the two coats of CIM 1061. Through visual inspection, the most likely causes of this failure are a lack of film build (about 5-8 mils) and exceeding the maximum recoat window of 4 hours. The extent of the

TANK 1

Fire Water Tank – inspection summary page 1 of 7 failure exceeds 30% of the floor area, which leads us to recommend complete removal of the floor coatings. The pipe penetrations, patched areas, and area where the floor coating met the wall coating have delaminated. The cause of this failure was most likely due to the lack of required surface prep when the recoat window was exceeded, as well as lack of film build. Per the manufacturer’s instructions for CIM IG-2 (Instruction Guide Application of CIM to Concrete 5.9), recoating after missing the recoat window requires that the entire patched area be severely abraded and lap joints shall be a minimum of 6”. Other areas of delamination in the tank were caused by moisture “blisters” and lack of film build “pin holes.” Coating thickness should have been 60 mils. Other minor coating issues existed, such as coating runs on the walls and evidence of the coating dripping from the ceiling. Neither of these coating defects requires repair measures.

See drawings for location and type of coating defects.

Most of the film build up was removed from the walls and ceiling, with the exception of areas with coating failure that would have been too destructive to clean. The floor of the tank did not have inter-coat delamination as in Tank #1—therefore, removal of the floor coating in this tank is not necessary. The pipe penetrations, patched areas, and area where the floor coating met the wall coating have delaminated similarly to Tank #1.

DESCRIPTION CIM 1000 Trowel Grade is a tough, liquid applied, two component, chemical and corrosion resistant urethane elastomer coating, chemically thickened to allow trowel applications with minimum sag. CIM 1000 Trowel Grade can be used as a crack filler or for application to vertical surfaces and corner flashings. CIM 1000 Trowel Grade offers the same advan-tages as CIM 1000 and is approved for contact with potable water in accordance with ANSI/NSF 61. CIM 1000 Trowel Grade may be applied at thicknesses up to 250 mils on vertical surfaces.

ADVANTAGES CIM 1000 Trowel Grade offers exceptional waterproofing performance in a formulation modified to allow vertical or free form trowel application:

• ANSI/NSF 61 certified for potable water contact up to 180ºF.

• Forms a tough elastomeric coating able to bridge cracks and fill joints.

• Chemically thickened for application to vertical surfaces, cold joints, cant strips and cracks.

• Used for repairs or for forming flashings and seals around pipes and roof penetrations.

• Can be applied to complex tanks with multiple penetrations, sumps, and irregular shapes.

• Adheres to and bridges between common construction materials such as concrete, steel, glass, wood, and most coatings.

• Environmentally sound, complying with the toughest VOC standards.

• Can be repaired when damaged or when new penetrations are added.

• Excellent wear and abrasion service.

• UV stable.

SURFACE PREPARATION

GENERAL: Substrates must be clean and dry with no oils, grease or loose debris. CIM Bonding Agent is recommended on all non-porous substrates. Perform adhesion tests to confirm adequacy of surface preparation. See C.I.M. Industries’ specific substrate Instruction Guide for specific guidelines.

CONCRETE: ICRI-CSP 4-6 surface profile exposing aggregate. Concrete must exhibit minimum 3,000 psi compressive strength and be free of release agents and curing compounds. The substrate must be clean and dry (see CIM Instruction Guide IG-2), and free of contaminates.

STEEL: Minimum 3 mil profile.

Immersion service – SSPC-SP10 / NACE No. 2 Near White Blast.

Non-Immersion service – SSPC-SP6 / NACE No. 3 Commercial Blast.

Use CIM Bonding Agent for greater adhesion.

OTHER METALS: SSPC-SP1 solvent clean and abrasive blast to roughen and degloss the surface.

Use CIM Bonding Agent for greater adhesion.

GLASS: Thoroughly clean. CIM Bonding Agent must be used for increased adhesion. For immersion service roughen the surface.

WOOD: Substrate must be clean, dry and free of surface contamination.

PREVIOUS COATINGS CIM 1000 Trowel Grade may be applied over some existing coatings and linings and

AND LININGS: achieve acceptable performance. CIM Bonding Agent is recommended for greater adhesion.

Finished system results vary due to a variety of project specific factors, including the service conditions to which the system is exposed. Therefore, C.I.M. Industries does not accept responsibility for determining the suitability of an existing coating as a substrate for CIM products. Owner shall perform adhesion tests on any existing coating or lining to determine suitability.

EARTH: Use CIM Scrim.

COLOR CIM 1000 Trowel Grade is initially shiny black, turning dull over 3 to 6 months when exposed to direct sunlight. For a colored or reflecting surface finish, see C.I.M Industries’ Instruction Guide, “Topcoats” (IG–7) for further instructions.

SOLIDS BY VOLUME 89%

RECOMMENDED Recommended minimum thickness at all points of the coating is 60 wet mils. Higher

COVERAGE coverages may be specified, but extended time is required to insure proper solvent release prior to placing the liner in potable water service. Contact C.I.M. Industries for additional information.

VOC 88 g/l (0.74 lb./gal.). CIM 1000 Trowel Grade complies with the toughest VOC regulations.

USE FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY.

PRECAUTIONS Avoid contamination with water or moisture. Keep all pails and jugs tightly closed until ready for use. All equipment, air supplies, and application substrates must be ABSOLUTELY DRY.

Do not apply in wet weather or when rain is imminent or when the CIM 1000 Trowel Grade or the substrate may become wet within 4 hours after coating. Use caution when applying CIM 1000 Trowel Grade in confined spaces. See C.I.M. Industries’ Instruction Guide, “Applying CIM Within Confined Spaces” (IG–9).

TEMPERATURE Surface should be at least 50ºF (10ºC) and must be 5ºF (3ºC) above the dew point. DO

NOT APPLY WHEN THE SUBSTRATE OR AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS RISING OR COATING

IS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. CIM 1000 Trowel Grade should be at least 60ºF (15ºC) when mixed and applied. CIM 1000 Trowel Grade may be preheated to facilitate application at low temperatures, but working time will be reduced. See C.I.M. Industries’ Instruction Guide “Applying CIM Membranes in Cold Weather” (IG–11).

EQUIPMENT CIM 1000 Trowel Grade is best applied with Trowel or brush. CIM 1000 Trowel Grade will not self level. CIM 1000 Trowel Grade may be sprayed with a properly configured plural component spray system. See C.I.M. Industries’ Instruction Guide, “Spray Application of CIM” (IG-12) or contact C.I.M. Industries for suggested equipment configuration.

POT LIFE Less than 20 minutes. Working time depends on temperature and method of application.

PRIMING Porous substrates such as wood and concrete may be primed with CIM 61BG Epoxy Primer to minimize outgassing. The recoat window for CIM 61BG Epoxy Primer shall be no longer than 48 hours. See CIM 61BG Epoxy Primer Coating Profile for additional information. Perform adhesion tests to confirm adequacy of adhesion to primer.

MIXING DO NOT THIN. DO NOT HAND MIX. Begin mixing each pail (4.0 gal.) of CIM 1000 Trowel Grade Premix using a power mixer (e.g. 1/2” drill and an eight inch mud mixer.) Do not draw air into the mix. While mixing, slowly add one jug (0.5 gal.) of CIM 1000 Activator to the pail and mix thoroughly for 3 FULL MINUTES. The proportions are pre-measured. DO NOT ESTIMATE. CIM Timers from C.I.M. Industries help eliminate mixing errors and increase productivity on the job. Do not use CIM Mixing Jigs when mixing CIM 1000 Trowel Grade.

See C.I.M. Industries’ Instruction Guide, “Mixing CIM Premix and Activator” (IG–8).

APPLICATION Apply CIM 1000 Trowel Grade directly to a clean and dry substrate. For thicker applications, mixed material should be allowed to build viscosity for several minutes before attempting to apply. See C.I.M. Industries’ specific substrate Instruction Guide for additional guidelines.

RECOATING CIM 1000 Trowel Grade may be recoated in 1 hour and must be recoated soon after the coating no longer comes off on polyethylene (typically within 4 hours of mixing.) If the coating has cured longer than this time, the surface must be severely abraded using surface grinder or other mechanical means, and be free of dust and debris. Use CIM Bonding Agent for better adhesion only when recoat window is missed. For immersion conditions, all coats shall be applied within four hours of each other, except at joint lines. For applications, such as cant strips and expansion joints, where adhesion of subsequent CIM coats is undesirable, allow 12 hours for CIM 1000 Trowel Grade to cure prior to recoating or, alternatively, use a bond breaker.

CURING TIME Before placing the coating into potable water service or similar applications, allow sufficient time for solvents to release from the coating. The required time for a 60 wet mil coating is two weeks at 60ºF (15ºC) and varies depending upon liner thickness and substrate temperature. Contact C.I.M. Industries for details. For many other applications, CIM 1000 Trowel Grade may be placed into service in 24 hours. Contact C.I.M. Industries for specific recommendations.

DISINFECTION CIM 1000 Trowel Grade coating must be washed, rinsed, and disinfected in accordance with C.I.M. Industries Instruction Guide “Decontamination or Washing Procedures for Potable Water Tank and Fish Pond Service” (IG–10).

CLEAN-UP Use mineral spirits for clean-up of uncured material. Cured material is very difficult to remove.

Soaking in solvent will soften the material and may assist in its removal.

GENERAL APPLICATION INFORMATION

FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY.

PRECAUTIONS Mixing equipment and surfaces where material is applied must be ABSOLUTELY DRY. Do not apply in wet weather, when rain is imminent or when the surface may become wet before the coating is dry. Strictly observe mixing, induction times and substrate temperature requirements.

TEMPERATURE Throughout the curing period, the surface should be minimum 50ºF (10ºC) AND minimum 5ºF (3ºC) above the dew point. Contact C.I.M. Industries for lower temperature application.

EQUIPMENT Air Spray, Airless Spray, Brush, or Roller ( 3⁄8" or 1⁄2" synthetic nap).

Equipment Air Spray Airless

Graco Extreme Airless 45:1 or higher Air Hose 1⁄2" N/A Fluid Hose 1⁄2"

3⁄8" to 1⁄2"

Spray Gun XTR7 Tip E or D 0.021” to 0.027"

Atomizing Pressure up to 100 psi 1500 to 3000 psi

POT LIFE About 3.5 hours at 77ºF (25ºC).

MIXING Thoroughly mix each of the two components separately: CIM 61BG Epoxy Resin and CIM 61BG Hardener. DO NOT HAND MIX. Use a power mixer. Consistency should be uniform and smooth with no settled pigments remaining at the bottom.Add entire contents of each component and thoroughly mix until color and consistency are uniform. ALLOW A MINIMUM OF 15 MINUTES

INDUCTION TIME FOR MIXED PRIMER BEFORE APPLICATION.

The two components must be combined in proper ratios for this product to set up properly.

Failure to adequately mix each component separately to achieve a uniform dispersion or failure to blend to the proper volume proportion will result in a failure of the coating to perform adequately.

DO NOT THIN. Allow cold material to warm to room temperature before attempting to lower viscosity, warm mixed coating before applying. Do not heat containers above the materials flash point of 80ºF (27ºC).

APPLICATION

PRIMER: Apply CIM 61BG Epoxy Primer at a coverage rate of 5 to 10 wet mils per coat. When coating porous substrates apply primer when the substrate is in a temperature declining mode and not in direct sunlight. A uniform coating free of holidays or pinholes is necessary to minimize outgassing effects during the application of the CIM coating to porous surfaces such as concrete. Surfaces may require additional coats to achieve a pinhole free application.

THEORETICAL COVERAGE 320 sq. ft./gal. (about 5 wet mils). Irregular surfaces, waste, spillage, and application technique effect actual coverage.

CIM COATING: Allow CIM 61BG Epoxy Primer to cure at least 12 hours at 70ºF (21ºC) to permit solvent loss.

Failure to allow sufficient time for solvent loss may result in the formation of solvent blisters or poor adhesion to CIM. Prior to CIM coating application, test for the presence of amine blush by testing the pH of the epoxy primed surface. The pH should be 7-8. If the pH is higher than 8, solvent wipe with methyl ethyl ketone until the pH is within the recommended range.

Application of CIM coating to epoxy primer with a high pH will result in poor adhesion. When applied to porous surfaces, CIM 61BG Epoxy Primer will greatly reduce the effects of outgassing, but it may not completely prevent the occurrence. CIM coatings and primer should be applied following C.I.M.’s published written instructions including application of the coating when substrate temperature is declining.

RECOATING Minimum/Maximum recoat is 12hrs/48hrs @ 70ºF.

Allow at least 12 hours between coats or applying a CIM coating or lining. If more than 48 hours has past since the application of CIM 61BG Epoxy Primer, or the CIM 61BG Epoxy Primer is otherwise contaminated use one of the following procedures:

1. Test surface for pH and check for contaminates. Solvent wipe with methyl ethyl ketone to clean surface and reapply CIM 61BG Primer if within 30 days.

2. Test surface for pH and check for contaminates. Solvent wipe with methyl ethyl ketone to clean surface. Abrade the existing CIM 61 BG Primer. Apply CIM Bonding Agent and apply CIM coating or lining. If the CIM 61BG Primer is damaged during abrading. An additional application of Primer may be necessary to insure a monolithic primer application.

CLEAN UP Clean all equipment immediately after use with xylene or MEK. Thoroughly flush spray equipment before coating has had a chance to set up.

FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY.

PRECAUTIONS Avoid contamination with water or moisture. Keep all pails and jugs tightly closed until ready for use. All equipment, air supplies, and application substrates must be ABSOLUTELY DRY.

Do not apply in wet weather or when rain is imminent or when the CIM 1061 or the substrate may become wet within 4 hours after coating. Use caution when applying CIM 1061 in confined spaces. See C.I.M. Industries’ Instruction Guide, “Applying CIM Within Confined Spaces” (IG–9).

TEMPERATURE Surface should be at least 50ºF (10ºC) and must be 5ºF (3ºC) above the dew point. DO

NOT APPLY WHEN THE SUBSTRATE OR AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS RISING OR COATING

IS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. CIM 1061 should be at least 60ºF (15ºC) when mixed and applied. CIM 1061 may be preheated to facilitate application at low temperatures, but working time will be reduced. See C.I.M. Industries’ Instruction Guide “Applying CIM Coatings in Cold Weather” (IG–11).

EQUIPMENT Spray equipment requires large diameter hose and air supplied mastic gun or plural component spray equipment. See “Spray Application of CIM” (IG–12) or contact C.I.M.

Industries for specific recommendations. Roller, squeegee, and trowel may also be used.

POT LIFE About 30 minutes. Working time depends on temperature and method of application.

Working time for spray applications will be significantly shorter.

PRIMING Porous substrates such as wood and concrete may be primed with CIM 61BG Epoxy Primer to minimize outgassing. The maximum recoat window for CIM 61BG Epoxy Primer is 48 hours.

See CIM 61BG Epoxy Primer Technical Data Sheet for additional information. Perform adhesion tests to confirm adequacy of adhesion to primer.

MIXING DO NOT THIN. DO NOT HAND MIX. Begin mixing each pail (4.4 gal.) of CIM 1061 Premix using a power mixer (e.g. 1/2” drill and an eight inch mud mixer). Do not draw air into the mix. While mixing, slowly add one jug (0.6 gal.) of CIM 1061 Activator to the pail and mix thoroughly for 3 FULL MINUTES. The proportions are premeasured; DO NOT ESTIMATE.

Mixing Jigs and Timers from C.I.M. Industries help eliminate mixing errors and increase productivity on the job. See C.I.M. Industries’ Instruction Guide, “Mixing CIM Premix and Activator” (IG–8).

APPLICATION Apply CIM 1061 directly to a clean and dry substrate. Vertical surfaces will require multiple coats. See C.I.M. Industries’ specific substrate Instruction Guide for additional guidelines.

RECOATING CIM 1061 may be recoated in 1 hour and must be recoated soon after the coating no longer comes off on polyethylene (typically within 4 hours of mixing). If the coating has cured longer than this time, the surface must be severely abraded using surface grinder or other mechanical means, and be free of dust and debris. Use CIM Bonding Agent for better adhesion. For immersion conditions, all coats shall be applied within four hours of each other, except at joint lines.

RECOMMENDED Recommended minimum thickness of the coating is 60 wet mils.

MINIMUM THICKNESS Additional thickness may be specified, but extended time is required to insure proper solvent release prior to placing the liner in service. Contact C.I.M. Industries for detailed cure time information. Refer to CIM 1061 Coverage Chart for coverage rates.

CURING TIME Before placing the coating into potable water service or similar applications, allow sufficient time for solvents to release from the coating. The required time for a 60 wet mil coating is two weeks at 60ºF (15ºC) and varies depending upon coating thickness and substrate temperature. For many other applications, CIM 1061 may be placed into service in 24 hours.

Contact C.I.M. Industries for specific recommendations.

DISINFECTION CIM 1061 coating must be washed, rinsed, and disinfected in accordance with C.I.M.

Industries Instruction Guide “Decontamination or Washing Procedures for Potable Water Tank and Fish Pond Service” (IG–10).

CLEAN-UP Use mineral spirits for clean-up of uncured material. Spray equipment must be flushed regularly during application to prevent material from setting up in the hose and pump. Cured material is very difficult to remove. Soaking in solvent will soften the material and may assist in its removal.
