About this file
This is a specification document for painting materials and application requirements for the South Carolina District 4 Steel-Piles project. The document outlines detailed standards for paint procurement, storage, handling, and application on structural steel bridge components.
The specification requires that all paint be thoroughly ground, well-mixed, and maintain uniform consistency without excessive settling or caking in containers. Paint must retain original characteristics throughout its stated shelf life and be stored in unopened containers until needed for use. Contractors must protect wet paint from contamination by dust, sand, blast debris, and other foreign matter, and must comply with manufacturer Safety Data Sheets during handling, storage, and application. The specification mandates that paint applicators possess a minimum of two years of experience in the specific paint system being applied, and that paint subcontractors demonstrate a minimum of two years of experience applying the specified paint system on structural steel bridges. Contractors are responsible for protecting unpainted and previously painted surfaces, repairing any paint damage caused by their operations at no additional cost, and removing all spillage, drippings, and inadvertent paint applications to the satisfaction of the Resident Construction Engineer.

710.2 Materials
710.2.1 General
1 Furnish paint that is thoroughly ground and neither settles excessively nor cakes in the container. Ensure that the paint mixes readily with a paddle to a smooth, uniform consistency. Small amounts of anti-skinning agents and anti-settling agents may be added during manufacture. If kept in storage, ensure that the paint retains the original paint characteristics for a period not less than the stated shelf life. Maintain containers of paint unopened until required for use. Use containers first that have been recently opened and premixed or blended together. Do not use paint that has livered, gelled, or otherwise deteriorated during storage or is beyond the stated shelf life. Ensure that wet paint is protected against damage from dust, sand, blast debris, or other detrimental foreign matter. Comply with the manufacturer’s recommendations for health and safety (Safety Data Sheets) when handling, storing, and applying paint.
2 During the painting operation, use precautionary measures to protect any surfaces that are not to be painted or that have already been painted. Repair and spot-paint any areas of paint film damaged by the Contractor's operations at no additional cost to the Department. Remove to the satisfaction of the RCE all spillage, drippings, spattering, or inadvertent applications caused by the Contractor's operations.
3 Ensure that paint is applied by individuals with a minimum of 2 years of experience in the application of the paint system being applied. Use paint subcontractors that have a minimum of 2 years of experience in the application of the specified paint system on structural steel bridges.
