“Wastewater Treatment Plants: Doing It Right the First Time”

A project specification is the foundation by which your project is created and built. A specification is a contract obligation between the Owner and everyone else associated with the project. The specification or its sections cannot be changed unless it’s authorized in writing by the author of the specification or their authorized representative. Contained within the project specification are many individual specification sections that your project is built upon.Our municipal wastewater treatment plants, water treatment plants, lift stations, water tanks or similar projects can be subjected to some of the most severe environmental conditions imaginable. Unfortunately, many of these projects are inadequately protected due to failing coating systems. Why?You can site the long list of reasons concerning coating failures. In most cases the coating failures boil down to human error when they fail the project. What I want to concentrate on are coating specifications and the avoidable problems associated with them.
