• Supervisory personnel will act as “Lead Person” by following and guiding the team.

8. WORK SEQUENCE

• Tool Box Talk (TBT) will be conducted.
• Two sides and top of shelter will be covered with plastic sheets or Tarpaulin to prevent the

General Working Conditions

(i) Temperature
• The temperature of both the substrate and surrounding air is an important
factor at the stage of surface preparation and coatings application.

• Substrate temperature must be in a minimum of 3°C above dew point

temperature to ensure that moisture contained in surrounding air does not
condense on the surface before coating are applied.

Page No Page 8 of 12

• The temperature of the surrounding air must also above 4°C in order for the
coating to be able to achieve curing. When surface temperature exceeds
45°C, painting shall not proceed unless special dispensation for application
at higher temperatures is given by the client.

(ii) Relative Humidity

• The relative humidity of the surrounding air gives us an indication of how close
the atmosphere is to saturation.

• Surface preparation or application of protective coating shall not proceed

when Relative Humidity exceeds 90% where epoxy coatings are used.

(iii) External Conditions

• Painting shall not be carried out when there is the likelihood of a change in the
weather conditions which may result in the deposition of moisture on the surface
within two hours of coating.

• Painting shall also be suspended when prevailing weather conditions may

result in the deposition of dust or other extraneous materials the wet film.

• In windy conditions temporary screens may be erected to prevent ingress of

wind borne contaminants as well as serving to minimize paint over spray to
other areas of the site.

8.1.2 Precautions before Grit Blasting

• Before girt blasting, all equipment which could be damaged by blast, dust or particulate
matter shall be suitably protected by wrapping, taping, or other means to prevent
damage. This equipment shall include, but not necessarily be limited to the following.

8.1.3 Surface Preparation

(i) Girt Blasting
• Surface preparation shall be carried out as per requirement for its individual paint
scheme.

• Where girt blasting require, minimum profile shall be as per project specification
requirement.

• Surface Preparation is the single most important stage in the application of a

protective coating system. There is a very close relationship between the
performance of a coating system and the quality of the surface over which it is
applied. The adhesion of most coatings is adversely affected when application is
carried out over surface which have deposits of oil, grease, dirt, loose material or
similar forms of contamination on them.

• Prior to commencement of surface preparation factors that may affect the integrity
of this operation must be considered and carefully monitored. In addition to this, the
sequence of events that must be accomplished to complete the protective coating
system must be considered and programmed to take place in logical order to
conclude with high quality product.

• The girt shall be dry and free from oil, grease, dust and other impurities. Re-usable
girt shall be clean and reasonably sharp, contain no rust or noticeably damaged girt.

• Blasting cleaning shall not be permitted in areas close to painting operation to

prevent contamination of wet paint film by dust and girt.

• All rough welds, burrs and sharp surface projections shall be ground smooth and all
weld spatter shall be removed prior to blasting operations.

• The compressed air supply used for surface preparation must be of sufficient
pressure and volume to prepare the surface to the degree specified and shall be free
of oil and water.

• During blasting, the raised faces of flanges must be protected at all the time. This
should be done by covering the raised surface with a round plate or end caps that
covers exactly the raised surface diameter.

8.1.4 Mixing and Thinning

• Paint shall be mixed in accordance with manufacturer's instruction and as per
specification.

• Where a skin has formed in the container, the skin shall be cut loose from the sides
of container, removed and discarded. If the volume of such skin is more than 2% of
the remaining paint, the paint shall not be used.

• Mixing in open containers shall be done in a well-ventilated area away from sparks
or flames.

• Paint shall not remain in spray pots, painter buckets etc. overnight, but shall be
stored in a covered container and re-mixed before use.

8.1.5 Painting and its Application

• Painting/Coating shall be applied in accordance with the paint manufacturer's
instructions and this procedure. Whether airless spray, or brush. Only competent
personnel only shall be employed in the application of protective coatings. Paint will
be applied with airless spray gun on fittings and with paint roller on welding joints.

• It shall be the responsibility of the painting supervisor to ensure the correct

application of the coating system.

• Ensure area is released for the application of the coating system. Surfaces are cleaned
& dry and have been air cleaned to remove all traces of contamination. Ensure primer

application occurs within 4 hours of completion of surface preparation or before any

signs of rash rusting.

• Material shall be positively identified and checked for specification compliance.

Check shelf life expiry date. Record batch no. and coating type.

• Paints shall be mixed thoroughly prior to use and where two parts shall be mixed in
accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Pot life shall not exceed during
application.

• Check and record ambient condition and note commencement time of painting to
ensure manufacturer’s recommended over coating intervals are being complied with.

• Coating shall be applied by airless spray, brush application shall be limited to stripe
coating of edges and small areas to touch-up, and in accordance with manufacturer’s
recommendations.

• Apply primer coat to achieve minimum D.F.T. as per specification.

• Ensure all coated surfaces have thoroughly cleaned as per specification before
application of next coat and all free of defects such as runs, sages, and pinholes &
surface contamination.

• After minimum overnight curing, check dry film thickness. Total minimum dry film
thickness of completed shall be as per system requirements.

8.1.6 Pipes Lifting & Transportations

Pipes will be lifted and transferred by using 10 tonnes forklift from the blasting area to
workshop painting area the forks will be covered with rubber to avoid any damages or
scratches that might happen to the pipes during transportation. the pipes on the forks will be
tied up with clamps or slings.

v Airless Application
• The operator of spray equipment shall be experienced in its use and shall be
responsible for maintaining it in good working order.

• Material hoses and container shall be thoroughly cleaned before the different
material is introduced. During the application of protective coating the spray post,
material line and the spray gun shall be kept at approximately the same elevation.
The spray gun shall be held no closer than 100mm or further than 600mm from the
surface to be coated and shall always be held at right angles to the surface.

• Large surfaces shall receive two passes at right angles to each other (cross
hatching) and in all instances, each spray pass shall overlap the previous pass by
approximately 50%. Edges of pipe flanges and structural components, welds,
irregular or recessed surfaces shall be given special attention and shall receive spray
coats to ensure adequate film thickness has been applied.

• At regular intervals during each course of coating application the applicator is to

conduct wet film checks to ensure that the desired coating thickness is being
achieved. Care shall be taken to minimize excessive wet film build as runs, sags, or
in the case of inorganic zinc primer, “mud cracking” may result. When excessive
coating has been applied excess material shall be brushed out immediately.

v Brush Application
• The application of coatings by brush shall be strictly controlled and restricted to the
following uses.

A. When areas cannot be properly coated by spraying for any reasons.

B. Stripe coating for every coat on edges, rat holes, welds, etc.
C. For touch up or repairs to localized damage.
D. For brushing out excessive and incorrectly applied materials.
E. Where spray application is not practicable for any reason e.g. where control of
over spray is not possible.

• Brush application of coating shall be performed in a manner as to ensure that a

smooth and uniform coating is applied. The finish surface shall be devoid of any
deep or detrimental brush marks.
