HULL-201 HULL PAINTING

Reference Drawing: 533-D205-01; “Outboard Profile”

The contractor shall furnish all necessary labor, materials, services and equipment, prepare, sandblast, and paint the hull of the vessel in accordance with the following specifications.

A SURFACE PREPARATION AND INSPECTION

Immediately after drydocking the vessel, and before the hull and any marine growth has had a chance to dry, the entire hull from the keel to the top of the bulwarks shall receive a high-pressure wash.

The high-pressure wash shall be performed with fresh water only and shall be no less than 5000 psi. All washing to be performed shall be done from above (i.e. from the top of the drydock, scaffolds, etc.) with the nozzles pointed down to the floor of the dock to prevent the spread of water to the upper portion of the vessel and into any interior spaces.

Any areas contaminated with grease, oil, dirt, rubber streaks or other foreign matter shall be cleaned with DEVOE “Devprep # 88”, 788-T-000 and washed clear with the high pressure wash.

After the hull has dried and within 24 hours after drydocking the vessel, a joint inspection shall be conducted with the COR and the contractor.

The entire hull from the keel to the deep load line shall be surveyed. All areas where the anticorrosive system (primers) have been disturbed or removed shall be identified and clearly marked. A written condition report with recommendations shall be submitted by the contractor to the COR within 24 hours after performing the joint inspection. The report shall include a summary of the hull's condition, including an estimate of the total square-footage of the hull that requires a renewal of the anticorrosive system.

All of the manufacturer's and USACE preparation and environmental conditions must be met prior to beginning any operation. Surface temperature, humidity, wind conditions, dew point and wet-bulb readings shall be checked and recorded at least twice daily.

B BLASTING

All blasting shall be done from above with the nozzles pointed down toward the floor of dock to prevent the spread of sand or shot to the upper portion of the vessel and into the quarters and machinery spaces.

Sand and dust on decks resulting from sand or shot blasting shall be removed from the vessel daily by broom sweeping.

Scaffolds, cherry pickers or other means shall be provided for use of personnel in blasting and painting. The use of extension pipes for blasting or painting of the vessel from the deck of the drydock is unacceptable and will not be permitted.

As an option, hydro blasting, at a minimum of 30,000 psi, may be used in lieu of sand blasting.

Artificial illumination shall be used on any area specified to be cleaned and painted, which can not be clearly seen with eyes of normal vision at any time the work is being performed.

This work shall be coordinated in writing in advance with the COR.

Prior to abrasive blasting, precautions shall be taken to protect the hull and machinery from flying sand, dust and water discharge. This also applies to blasting on other ships in the vicinity. All the main deck scuppers shall be equipped with half pipes or dammed to keep water off the hull during abrasive blasting.

All open fans, vents, doors, hatches, air conditioner, antennas and wiring, windows, name boards, castle, ship’s bell, electrical outlets, navigation lights, wipers, spot light, machinery and deck gear shall be sealed with plastic film or a suitable substitute prior to blasting and painting operations. As an option, equipment may be removed prior to blasting and reinstalled after the last coat of paint has dried.

Abrasive blasting shall not be carried out while the engines, propellers, hydraulic system, etc., are exposed. If propeller shafts, hydraulic actuators, etc., are off the vessel during the blasting, all openings must be securely protected against contamination. It is of the utmost importance to insure that these systems are not contaminated.

Special care shall be taken to mask and fully protect the transducers, shafts, zinc anodes, propellers, and other underwater equipment against abrasion, damage, and painting.

Any damage to the vessel or its components due to lack of or improper painting/blasting protection shall be repaired to original by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government. The Contractor shall contact the COR to inspect and approve the blasting/painting protection prior to the start of the blasting process. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to maintain the blasting/painting protection for the duration of the blasting/painting process. At no time shall this be a cause for extension of contract time or additional cost to the Government.

The designated areas of the underwater hull and freeboard, as determined by the joint inspection, shall be blasted clean using dry sand, hydro blast or shot blast to a brush-off blast in accordance with Steel Structures Painting Council Specification SSPC-SP-7. Completely remove all oil, grease, dirt, rubber streaks, loose paint and foreign matter. All remaining and paint should be tight and the surface should be sufficiently abraded to provide good adhesion and bonding of paint. Blast overspray shall be kept to minimum so as to reduce the total amount of coatings to be renewed.

Any overspray of new paint onto the sides and upper deck of the house shall be removed and all paint repaired to the original color scheme at no additional cost to the Government using the DEVOE paint system. The contractor shall monitor wind conditions to ensure that no sandblast or paint spray damages nearby vehicles or vessels;

the Government will not be responsible for any damages incurred due to improper scheduling and monitoring of the blasting/painting process. The paint system applied in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations.

C PAINTING (Deep Load Line to Top of Bulwarks)

The hull from the deep load line to the top of the bulwarks shall be prepared and painted in accordance with the following specifications:

• After pressure washing the hull as required in Part A, SURFACE PREPARATION preceding, conduct a visual inspection of the hull and identify areas that require blasting due to the anticorrosive system (primers) being disturbed or foreign material not removed by pressure washing.

• Blast these areas and apply 1 spot coat of AMERON “Amercoat 385”, Red, 6 mils wet/4 mils dry. Apply 1 spot coat of AMERON “Amercoat 450HS”, Black, 3.5 mils wet/2 mils dry on any affected area from the deep load line to the top of the bulwarks. Any blasting shall be performed as outlined in Part

B, BLASTING.

Estimate on 25% of total surface area above the waterline for spot coating and

100% for final coat.

Lines shall be cut with brush or roller, remainder may be sprayed.

D PAINTING (Keel To Deep Load Line)

The contractor shall proceed with preparing and painting the hull from the keel to the deep load line in accordance with the following specifications:

• The designated areas from the keel to the deep load line shall be blasted clean using dry sand, hydro blast or shot blast to a brush-off blast finish in accordance with Steel Structures Painting Council Specification SSPC-SP-7 as required in Section B, General Requirements for BLASTING.

• A visual inspection shall be conducted by the COR and the contractor to identify areas that will require additional primer/antifoulant. The areas identified shall receive the following to restore primer/antifoulant system:

1 spot coat of AMERON “Amercoat 385 Gray”, 6 mils wet/4 mils dry 1 spot coat of AMERON “Amercoat 385 Red”, 6 mils wet/4 mils dry 2 full coats AMERON Devran ABC #3 antifoulant, Red

Estimate on 25% of total surface area from the keel to the waterline for spot coating and 100% total surface area for anti-foulant.

E PAINTING (House Proper, Main Cabin, Stack, and Decks)

The entire house proper exterior, main cabin and main deck shall be prepared and painted in accordance with the following specifications:

• After preparing the designated areas as required, blast the house proper, main cabin and main deck using dry sand, hydro blast or shot blast to a brush-off blast finish in accordance with Steel Structures Painting Council Specification SSPC-SP-7 as required in Section B, General Requirements for BLASTING.

• Apply 1 spot coat of AMERON “Amercoat 385”, Red, 6 mils wet/4 mils dry to the house proper, main cabin and decks.

• Apply 1 full coat of AMERON “Amercoat 450HS1024”, Ivory, 3.5 mils wet/2 mils dry to the bulkheads.
