Document Number:
Revision : 021
Page 12 of 42
Any oil and grease contamination shall be removed by solvent or alkali cleaning prior to blasting operations in
accordance with SSPC-SP-1.
Any major surface defects, particularly surface laminations or scabs detrimental to the protective coating
system shall be removed by suitable dressing. Where such defects have been revealed during blast cleaning,
and dressing has been performed, the dressed area shall be reblasted to the specified standard. All welds shall
be inspected and if necessary repaired prior to final blast cleaning of the area.
Prior to any surface preparation, each component shall be checked and recorded for salt contamination using an
SCM 400 meter or similar in accordance with SSPC Guide 15. The maximum permissible salt level shall not
exceed 2µm/cm². Should levels exceed 2µg/cm² the complete component shall be washed with de-ionized
water and the test repeated. The component shall only be accepted once the levels of salt are reduced to
<2µg/cm².
8.2 Blasting abrasives
All abrasives shall have minimal health impact.
Blasting abrasives shall be sharp angular.
The type, particle size distribution and hardness of grit employed shall ensure that the required surface
roughness & anchor profile as is achieved prior to paint application.
The type of abrasives to be used will be GMA Garnet 60/30 mesh or steel grit GH25 & GH40 (30:70 mix).
As per manufacture recommendations, GMA garnet can be recycled. The possibility of contamination of Garnet
is very low as the floor in the blast chamber is concreted which ensures a controlled environment for recycling
and any material that is used outside of the blast chamber will not be recycled.
Garnet recycling shall be carried out in accordance with Procedure HRT-AZ-TPR-SS-GRC.
The abrasives (including recycled materials) shall be maintained clean, dry and free from contaminants at all
times so contamination of the substrate is minimised.
At a minimum of once per shift, a sample of used abrasive shall be taken and tested for presence of moisture
and level of cleanliness in accordance with Procedure HRT‐AZ‐TPR‐SS‐SPAC.
All spent abrasive shall be completely removed from the prepared surface.
8.3 Blasting
Blast cleaning shall not be performed in areas close to coating operations or wet coated surfaces in order to
prevent dust or grit contamination.
Before any blast cleaning operations commence, all oil, grease or other contaminants on the working surface
shall be removed by solvent cleaning in accordance with SSPC-SP 1.
Document Number:
Revision : 021
Page 13 of 42
Welded areas and appurtenances shall be given special attention for removal of welding flux in crevices.
Welding slivers, laminations and underlying mill scale exposed before and during grit blasting operations shall
be removed by mechanical means and the edges smoothed or rendered flush.
The dryness and cleanliness of the compressed air supply used for blast cleaning shall be verified by testing the
air on a white blotter as per ASTM D4285. The testing shall be carried out at the start of each shift and every 4
hours thereafter and at the re-start of compressor operation when off for more than 15 minutes.
The cleanliness of the blast cleaned surface shall be Sa2½ in accordance with ISO 8501-1.
The parameter of the surface profile attained shall be within 50 – 100µm as measured in accordance with the
requirements of ISO 8503-5 (Replica tape method).

Prepared surfaces shall be kept free from any contamination and shall be completely free from blast residues,
dust or grit.
Intended weld areas shall be masked to a distance of 50mm to either side of the weld area, after blast cleaning
and before priming.
A 150mm wide strip of uncoated blast cleaned surface shall be left between primed and unblasted surfaces to
prevent damage to the newly dried coating when additional blasting is done.
When rectification has been necessary on blast cleaned or previously coated surfaces, the dressed areas shall be
re-blasted to remove all rust and contaminants. Blast cleaning shall overlap a minimum of 25mm into the
adjoining coated surface.
8.5 Environmental Conditions
Surface preparation shall not take place when the ambient air temperature is below 5°C, when the relative

areas and must be strictly monitored as blasting and cleaning operations progress. Where required the work
area will be enclosed to contain grit and dust.
At the end of each shift following painting activities, all ignition sources shall be removed and containerised to
prevent fires. During breaks all tins shall have lids securely replaced to prevent fire risk, this is especially
