H-200 SURFACE PREPARATION, INSPECTION AND AUDIOGAGING

References: Dwg: Typical Hull Construction Extrusions

Dwg: Hull Construction CL & DHCL Longsections Dwg: Hull Construction ER & Laz Longsections & Plan Dwg: Hull Construction Stringers & Plating Plan

The intent of this line item is to remove all of the loose paint from the underwater hull of the vessel and inspect the condition of all of the aluminum. This inspection shall consist of both a visual inspection and audiogauging the vessel’s hull in order to compare results with original thickness at time of construction.

The Government requires the Contractor to provide the services of the proper

Paint Representative (a certified representative for the particular manufacturer of the paint system used), for the duration of the paint work and shall require them to be on site for critical evaluations and procedures as specified in these specifications.

A. SURFACE PREPARATION, 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 6” above the deep load line 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 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 “Dev-prep # 88”, 788-T-000 and washed clear with the high pressure wash.

After the Vessel hull is dried and within 24 hours after drydocking the vessel. A joint inspection shall be conducted with the COR/GTR, the Contractor and the proper Paint Representative.

The entire hull from the keel to the rub rail 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/GTR 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 renewal of the anticorrosive system.

All of the manufacturers 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. AUDIOGAUGING

The contractor shall provide the services of a testing firm to take audio gauge readings on the hull from the waterline to the keel and bow to stern. The audio gauging is to be done by ultrasonic testing or any other non-destructive testing methods.

The contractor shall provide the COR/GTR with a sketch showing the audio gauge readings in relation to their position on the hull of the vessel. The readings should be taken in a one-(1) foot square grid pattern. These readings will then be compared to the baseline readings, (original construction – May 2017). A more concentrated density of readings should be taken in areas that appear to show wastage of approximately 20%. Holes and areas showing 25% or more wastage from original thickness shall be highlighted.

H-201 HULL ANODE REPLACEMENT

The intent of this line item is to inspect and/or replace all of the vessels Bolted

Hull Anodes.

The vessel has a total of eight –(8) 12” x 6” hull anodes (CMDIVERA Aluminum), two-(2) spherical 3-1/2” shaft anodes (CMX15AL Aluminum) and two-(2) square collar 3-1/2” shaft anodes (CMC14A Aluminum).

Four-(4) additional 12” x 6” hull anodes (CMDIVERA Aluminum) will be added to the hull. Two-(2) will be added to the stern and two-(2) will be added to the inboard hulls. The exact locations will be directed by the Vessel Operator or the COR.

The contractor shall provide all labor, materials and equipment and accomplish the following:

Perform joint inspection of all hull and shaft anodes with the COR/GTR.

Procure and replace all bolted anodes as directed by the COR/GTR.

Install studs and mount four-(4) new hull anodes.

All new anodes shall be the same size and material and type as the original.

Square Collar 3-1/2” Shaft Anodes may need to be trimmed to fit in their present location due to the increased size of the new Propeller’s Hubs.

Coordinate installation of anodes with Line Item H-202, Hull Painting.

H-202 HULL PAINTING

The vessel is currently only painted from the keel to 6” above the deep load line.

After completion of high pressure washing and following joint inspection, determination will be made as to whether or not the underwater hull will be blasted to bare metal or spot coated in areas where the paint no longer exists. The entire underwater hull from the keel to 6” above the deep load line’s paint coating system shall be restored or renewed with two final coats of E Paint SN-1 (Black) applied to the entire area, 4 mils dry, each coat.

The contractor shall furnish all necessary labor, materials, services and equipment and high pressure wash the underwater hull of the Survey Vessel H.R.

SPIES in accordance with the following specifications. It is intended to inspect the condition of the existing paint coating system and then determine whether to remove all paint, or touch up the any areas that are bare, prior to application of a new paint coating system in its entirety or spot coats and application of two final coats of E Paint SN-1 (Black). The only painting will be on the underwater hull, from the keel to 6” above the deep load line.

All of the manufacturers 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.

A. BLASTING (If Directed)

The vessel’s entire painted exterior, i.e. the keel to 6” above the deep load line shall be blasted to bare aluminum. Paint Representative shall provide the proper profile requirement and ensure that the Contractor meets this requirement.

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. Great care shall be taken to prevent damage from blasting to all deckhouse, shafting, propellers, rub rails and all other items that could conceivably be damaged due to the blasting process. The Contractor shall be responsible for any damage done to vessel components as a result of improper protection and process procedures.

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

This shall be in accordance with Technical Provisions section TP-6 (K).

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 cannot 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/GTR.

B. PAINTING (Keel to 6” above Deep Load Line)

The hull from the keel to 6” above the deep load line shall be prepared and painted in accordance with the following specifications. If blasted the following applies to the entire area. If spot coated the following applies to all areas found to need the full painting system restored and the final two coatings applies to the entire area.

A hard, smooth foul release coating, similar to E Paint SN-1 (Black), shall be provided on hulls and foils, up to 6 inches above the full load waterline. This coating shall be applied as the final two coatings and should be at least 4 mils dry, each coating.

This application must be applied over the recommended Primer coats (EP Epoxy Primer

1000) and shall be applied within the required overcoating interval.

All atmospheric condition requirements, such as Temperature and Relative Humidity for application, shall be strictly adhered to.

Two final coats of E Paint SN-1 (Black), or similar, shall be applied within the required overcoating interval after final application of primer. These coatings shall be applied with a minimum thickness of at least 4 mils dry per coating.

The primer, similar to EP Epoxy Primer 1000 shall be applied in two-(2) contrasting coats after final surface preparation has been achieved in accordance with Manufacturer’s recommendations. Each application of this coating shall be applied with a minimum thickness of at least 4 mils.

C. Draft Marks

Draft marks at bow, stern and in surveying strut well shall be repainted. Draft marks are to be painted white, using one coat of E Paint SN-1 (White), in four-(4) inch block numbers.
