The Contractor must ensure that water in all surface preparation tasks, including pre-surface preparation wash and waterjetting is of sufficient purity and quality that it does not prevent the surface being cleaned from achieving the required degree of surface cleanliness or nonvisible contamination criteria. Ensure that surface preparation water does not contain sediments or other impurities that are destructive to the proper functioning of the cleaning equipment.

3.3.4 Environmental Protection. Unless a containment system is used to capture/contain surface preparation dust and debris and coating application overspray during pier side/dockside preservation, the following must be adhered to:

• All surface preparation tools/equipment must vacuum-shrouded.

• Coatings must be applied by brushing or rolling.

3.3.5 Pre-Surface Preparation Surface Contaminant Removal. The Contractor must remove surface contaminants and achieve the cleanliness requirements of SSPC-SP 1 with either a low-pressure fresh water wash down or solvent cleaning method(s).
