Maintenance Painting


According to an article from PlantServices.com, titled "Maintenance Painting":
An engineered approach to maintenance painting does not just happen. Like most other projects, it requires a considerable amount planning, preparation, and hard work before opening the first can of paint and triggering the first spray gun. The well-rounded corporate management looks not only for strategic market opportunities, but for opportunities to reduce costs and to more effectively utilize personnel. These managers approach corrosion protection and maintenance painting in a systematic fashion. Additionally, enlightened plant management supports the chosen approach and commits funding over the life of the plan for it to be effective.

It is incumbent upon the maintenance engineer to do a thorough job in preparing so that the sound engineering principles this approach embodies gain the sympathy and resources of upper management. Remember, corporate management will not fund a conceptual approach to maintenance painting they do not endorse--the program, even if sound, will die.

Overview
For the systematic approach to maintenance painting to be successful, the following information and procedures must be developed.
  • an inventory of paintable items,
  • a coating condition assessment,
  • prioritized painting needs based on funds available,
  • the appropriate coating system for the items to be painted,
  • a comprehensive coating specification,
  • an appropriate coating applicator (in-house, independent contractor, or both),
  • a means to measure quality and regulatory compliance, and
  • record keeping to establish coating longevity, cost effectiveness, and system improvement.
