Many facility owners are specifying one-, two-, even three-
coat systems to be applied in the shop. A survey of steel
bridge fabricators revealed that 100% of the shops
surveyed consider paint to be most costly item for them.
Comments included, "Cure times create bottlenecks,
handling is expensive, blast cleaning to SSPC-SP10 is
difficult, and edge preparations is time consuming and
expensive." To assist shops in the successful
performance of coating operations, KTA offers a two-day,
American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) sanctioned
Sophisticated Paint Endorsement (SPE) training curriculum.
This curriculum also meets the training requirements for
shops seeking SSPC QP3 certification. |
