Life Cycle
How long will the coating system last? • Depends on the user’s approach to, and philosophy of,
maintenance. • Appearance • Corrosion protection• Water Quality
![Page 13: Tank Coatings and Maintenance... · AWWA M42: Steel Water Storage Tanks (1998): • “ A good, comprehensive preventative maintenance program can extend the life of an existing tank](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042211/5eafe2b78f53f645fa246949/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Typical Maintenance Practices
• Original Painting• Spot Touch-Up and Repair
• Usually more prep required
• Maintenance Repaint (spot prime and full coat)• If adhesion is still good and prep is limited
• Full Repaint (total coating removal and replacement)

• “ A good, comprehensive preventative maintenance program can extend the life of an existing tank (as well as that of a new tank) INDEFINITELY”
• “ Many thousands of dollars can be saved and complaints from citizens can be eliminated if a planned approach to tank maintenance is adopted.”
• “ Small outlays for maintenance can substantially delay or eliminate the need to replace a utilities large capital investment in tanks
Why Preventative Maintenance?
![Page 24: Tank Coatings and Maintenance... · AWWA M42: Steel Water Storage Tanks (1998): • “ A good, comprehensive preventative maintenance program can extend the life of an existing tank](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042211/5eafe2b78f53f645fa246949/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
AWWA “Steel Water Storage Tanks” (2010) Chapter 10, Page 381:
“Why have a maintenance program? The answer is simple: Preventive maintenance has been, and always will be, less expensive than crisis maintenance.”

Benefits of Proactive Maintenance
Asset Management = Preventative = Proactive• Extends the useful life of the water asset• Ensure the asset operates in case of an emergency• Lower costs for operations and maintenance• Budgeting based on sustained performance• Defensible decision-making• Improved public confidence• Improved regulatory compliance

What is Concrete?• Portland Cement• Coarse & Fine Aggregate• Water• Admixtures (optional)
• Air-entraining• Water-reducing• Retarding• Accelerating• Superplasticizers• Corrosion-inhibiting
Basics of Concrete
![Page 47: Tank Coatings and Maintenance... · AWWA M42: Steel Water Storage Tanks (1998): • “ A good, comprehensive preventative maintenance program can extend the life of an existing tank](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042211/5eafe2b78f53f645fa246949/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Concrete is by far the most widely used construction material in the world.
In the water and wastewater market it represents 80-85% of the substrates with potential application for high performance coatings.
Much stronger in compression than in tension.
Basics of Concrete
![Page 48: Tank Coatings and Maintenance... · AWWA M42: Steel Water Storage Tanks (1998): • “ A good, comprehensive preventative maintenance program can extend the life of an existing tank](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042211/5eafe2b78f53f645fa246949/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Problems Inherent with Concrete
![Page 49: Tank Coatings and Maintenance... · AWWA M42: Steel Water Storage Tanks (1998): • “ A good, comprehensive preventative maintenance program can extend the life of an existing tank](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042211/5eafe2b78f53f645fa246949/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Concrete is not maintenance free.• Concrete cracks, spalls, and leaks.• Two types of concrete:
• Concrete that has cracked • Concrete that is going to crack
Concrete is not all the same:• By definition concrete is a heterogeneous
mixture.• Different batches can have very different
properties, even on construction of the one structure.
• Concrete as a substrate is not as predictable or stable as steel.
Problems Inherent with Concrete
![Page 50: Tank Coatings and Maintenance... · AWWA M42: Steel Water Storage Tanks (1998): • “ A good, comprehensive preventative maintenance program can extend the life of an existing tank](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042211/5eafe2b78f53f645fa246949/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
• Certain regions with high sulfur content in the water will experience rapid degradation of concrete above the high water line and on the underside of the roof. Roof replacements are common.
• Below grade tanks often have infiltration concerns.• Concrete is typically marketed as “maintenance free” when
in fact it is not.

![Page 54: Tank Coatings and Maintenance... · AWWA M42: Steel Water Storage Tanks (1998): • “ A good, comprehensive preventative maintenance program can extend the life of an existing tank](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042211/5eafe2b78f53f645fa246949/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Preservation of the asset.• Protect the concrete from acid and
sulfate attack.• Protect the rebar structure from
corrosion and chlorides.
Reduction in water losses from cracks.
Aesthetics.
Why Coat Concrete?
![Page 55: Tank Coatings and Maintenance... · AWWA M42: Steel Water Storage Tanks (1998): • “ A good, comprehensive preventative maintenance program can extend the life of an existing tank](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042211/5eafe2b78f53f645fa246949/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
• Concrete structures are not Maintenance Free • As part of a comprehensive Asset Management Program
that includes coatings of all surfaces, the serviceable life of a concrete tank can be extended indefinitely
• Leaks (non-revenue water) can be minimized through proper maintenance
• Aesthetics of concrete tanks can be greatly improved with coatings

• Ensure the public water supply is in contact with an NSF 61 compliant material.
Why NSF?
• The professional application of an NSF certified coating system will ensure compliance for the community’s potable water structures.
Why Coat Concrete?

• Bacterial cells• The colonies they form• The polysaccharide slime they

Associated Issues:• Harbor Problematic Organisms• Nuisance and Pathogenic• Promote Mineral Accumulation• Require Additional Disinfection

What is Biofilm?
![Page 63: Tank Coatings and Maintenance... · AWWA M42: Steel Water Storage Tanks (1998): • “ A good, comprehensive preventative maintenance program can extend the life of an existing tank](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042211/5eafe2b78f53f645fa246949/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Water Quality: Control of Biofilms in Distribution System
![Page 64: Tank Coatings and Maintenance... · AWWA M42: Steel Water Storage Tanks (1998): • “ A good, comprehensive preventative maintenance program can extend the life of an existing tank](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042211/5eafe2b78f53f645fa246949/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
The Theory:• Biofilms like to form and grow on rough surfaces.• Biofilms grow faster on rougher surfaces than smooth
surfaces.• Calcium (component of concrete) is an excellent food
source for biofilms.
Proactive Water Quality Protection
Lining the interior of potable water concrete tanks is a critical tool in combatting biofilms and disinfection
byproducts in a water distribution system.

• Raw concrete coupons exhibited considerably higher levels ATP levels than either of the coated coupons.• By the end of the 30 day project, the uncoated concrete had an overall difference of 6X more bacteria than the coated coupons.• The type of paint (i.e. standard epoxy vs high performance 100% solids epoxy) did not appear to make a difference in the study. Both were equally effective in combating bacterial growth.
This research shows that raw, uncoated concrete surfaces are more susceptible to biofilm development and accumulation as
compared to coated concrete surfaces.

Systems are Struggling to meet consumer demands and balance budgets.
• Concrete & plant infrastructure are in constant need of repair and/or replacement. These repairs can be costly, unpredictable, and cause a strain on plant operations.
• Time and money are limited – issues left unresolved and tend to snowball – assets are run to failure.
• Treatment facilities need asset protection through renovation: protective coatings, new media, control upgrades and better energy efficiency.
• Piping, equipment, controls need renovated or replaced.
