5. REPAIRING PROCEDURES
The Contractor shall repair surfaces that have deteriorated beyond
the specified level of breakdown and shall bear the cost of materials,
equipment, labor, transport, lodging, storage etc. necessary for the
repair.
Only surfaces that have suffered from mechanical damage or
chemical spillage as a result of operational activities fall outside of
contractor responsibility.
5.1 General Requirements
i. Permit to start with work should be taken from the owner
/operator before start with work.
ii. Every possible precaution shall he taken to ensure that the
damaged surface(s) shall be thoroughly clean, dry, and free from
condensation, moisture, dust, oil grease, rust, dirt and other
contaminants before the application of the touch‐up/repair
processes.
iii. Surface cleaning and painting shall not be conducted when the
surfaces are less than 3 °C above dew point or when the relative
humidity of the air is greater than 85%.
iv. Any paint found to be incorrectly applied shall be removed and
repainted to the appropriate painting/coating requirement.
v. Surface preparation, whenever possible, shall be carried out by
hand or power tool (ex‐proof) cleaning (copper brush) shall be
applied. This shall be followed by solvent cleaning prior to
painting.
vi. Where the damaged surface being repaired lies adjacent to a
previously coated surface, the cleaning shall extend to the
surrounding coating by a minimum of 25 ‐50 mm on all sides to
ensure continuity of the patch coating.
vii. Appropriate protection, shields or screens shall be used to cover
the remainder of the previously coated surface to prevent any
| P a g e 4
possibility of damage to or contamination of the coating before
starting any repair work
viii. The use of brushes or rollers for touch‐up/repair on localized
damaged surfaces where proper coating by spray application is
not feasible may be used upon COMPANY approval.
5.2 SURFACE PREPARATION
i. All surfaces to be finish painted shall be cleaned free of all dirt,
dust, grease, oil or other contaminants... All pipe welds are to be
cleaned to the degree of surface prepared in accordance with the
Steel Structures Painting Council Specifications.
ii. all painting defect damaged areas should be treated power tool
copper brush cleaning or hand tool cleaning
iii. All cleaned surfaces shall be primed the same day that cleaning is
performed. Cleaned surfaces left unprimed overnight or on which
rain falls, shall be re‐cleaned before priming.
iv. Surface preparation shall be accordance with the SSPC
specification. And since the piping in service, SSPC‐SP3 will be
considered as a surface cleaning method.
Paragraph 2.2 from the code SSPC‐SP3 states the following:
2.2 Power tool cleaning removes all loose mill scale, loose rust,
loose paint, and other loose detrimental foreign matter.
5.3 Mixing and thinning
All paint spraying equipment, including mixers, shall be thoroughly
cleaned before mixing of new materials. All coating materials shall
be mixed and thoroughly stirred in accordance with the
instructions of the paint Manufacturer. Sufficient agitation to
maintain good mixing shall be applied until the product is used. If
air is entrapped in the product during mixing/stirring, sufficient
time should be allowed for the air bubbles to escape before
application.
Only thinners specified by the paint Manufacturer shall be used
| P a g e 5
5.4 Spray application
Spraying is the required method of application. The painting
Contractor shall supply the required range of spray tips, sizes and
fan angles for the work being undertaken. The spray pressure
shall be uniform and the spray pattern smooth.
5.5 Brush and Roller application
Will be used if the paint Manufacturer confirms that the coating
material is suitable for brush/roller application, brush and roller
may be used under the following circumstances:
a) Maintenance operations;
b) In those cases where the Principal considers that spray
application may affect other plant, equipment, property or
personnel in or near the work site;
c) Where the coating product is specified as only being
suitable for brush application;
d) For “spot repair”, stripe coating or other irregular surfaces,
not suitable for spray application;
e) Where indicated by environmental considerations. Coatings
applied by brush shall be smooth and even.
5.6 Repair of coating defects
Damaged areas, defects in the coating system such as over‐runs,
drips and smears that have to be removed or areas with
inadequate dry film coating thickness shall be re‐cleaned. The re‐
cleaning shall carry over on to the sound coating for not less than
50 mm all round, the edges of which shall be feathered.
After the surface cleaning the specified coating system shall be re‐
applied. Any additional coats shall blend in with the final coating
at adjoining areas

6. PAINTING MATERIALS
The Manufacturer’s product data sheets and specifications for
mixing, application and curing shall be considered an integral part of
this PROCEDURE. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining
the product and safety data sheet.
Coating systems shall be applied in accordance with this PROCEDURE
and the paint Manufacturer's instructions and data sheets, See
Document No. (EBS1‐FPFA24‐SAME‐SPPA‐1001‐V00)& attached
documents.
7. WET FILM THICKNESS (WFT) AND DRY FILM THICKNESS (DFT)
In order to achieve the specified DFT, the CONTRACTOR shall perform
frequent checks of the WFT.
7.1 Wet film thickness (WFT)
Spot checks shall be carried out during the painting operation to
ensure that the required film thickness is being maintained. These
shall be performed according to the procedure described in ISO
2808, Method No. 1A – comb gauge.
7.2 Dry film thickness (DFT)
Coating dry film thickness (DFT) shall be measured by means of a
thickness meter based on electromagnetic techniques, in
accordance with ISO 2808,
The coating thickness gauge shall be calibrated daily.
Measurements shall be randomly and evenly taken and the
number shall be in accordance with Table 1 below. The number of
measurements shall be increased for areas having a difficult
configuration with regard to paint application or limitations in
accessibility. Special attention shall be given to areas such as
welds, edges, corners and parts where coatings are brush applied.
| P a g e 7
For the acceptance of an inspected area, the following criteria
shall be considered according to SSPC PA2 Level 5:
A. The dry film thickness (DFT) of the completed coating system shall
be equal to or greater than the specified dry film thickness.
B. The Minimum dry film thickness (DFT) of any individual coating
layer shall be equal or above 90 % of the specified DFT for that
coat.
C. The Maximum dry film thickness will unrestricted.
Sagging, Running, Wrinkling, and Cracking must be avoided in case
of excessive coating thickness.
Dry time and curing time of coatings shall be considered and must
be increased to avoid Solvent entrapment is case of excessive
coating thickness.
