Structural Repair Insights

Plan reinforcement electrical continuity testing before concrete cathodic protection, interpret resistance safely, and document bonding and isolation QA/QC.

Plan ASTM C1585 concrete sorptivity testing, control specimen QA/QC, interpret capillary water absorption, and use results safely in repair decisions.

Plan half-cell potential testing for reinforced concrete, control field QA/QC, interpret ASTM C876 maps, and combine results with repair evidence.

Plan solvent rub testing for steel coatings, distinguish ASTM D5402 from D4752, interpret cure checks safely, and document defensible QA/QC.

Measure wet film thickness on structural steel coatings, calculate a practical target, correct application issues early, and document defensible QA/QC.

Plan stripe coating for structural-steel edges, welds, bolts, corners, and crevices with clear sequencing, inspection hold points, and repair QA/QC.

Plan and interpret pull-off adhesion testing for steel coatings with controlled methods, failure-plane records, valid acceptance criteria, and repair QA/QC.

Verify blast-cleaned steel surface cleanliness before coating using written standards, visual comparators, representative access, hold points, and traceable QA/QC records.

Measure and accept blast-cleaned steel surface profile before coating with suitable methods, representative sampling, hold points, corrective action, and QA/QC records.

Plan dew point and environmental monitoring before steel coating, including sensor locations, measurement frequency, hold points, stop-work rules, and QA/QC.
