TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

Detailed requirement of pile foundation have been presented in the foundation chapter
specified hereafter in this specification.

6.04.00 CORROSION PROTECTION


6.04.01 General
(a) All Steel structures shall be provided with painting as given in the specification.
Further, painting system shall also meet the requirements of Corrosivity category C5
(durability High) as per ISO 12944.
Painting system for steel surfaces embedded in Concrete is given separately.
(b) All Painting shall be done as per Technical Specification Painting scheme shall
submitted by the Bidder for approval of Employer / Manufacturers, which shall be
submitted by the Bidder and as approved by the Employer.
(c) All steel structures shall be designed by following basic design criteria in ISO 12944
Part 3. However, where it is not feasible to follow the design criteria given in ISO
12944 Part 3 where the steel surface are inaccessible for application of protective
coating, corrosion allowance of 1.5 mm shall be kept in thickness(over the design
thickness) of structural steel members.
6.04.02 Painting of Steel Surfaces Embedded In Concrete
a) For the portion of Steel surfaces embedded in Concrete, the surface shall be prepared
by Manual Cleaning and provided with Primer Coat of Chlorinated Rubber based Zinc
Phosphate Primer of Minimum 50 Micron Dry Film Thickness (DFT).
b) All threaded and other surfaces of foundation bolts and its materials, insulation pins,
Anchor channels, sleeves, etc. shall be coated with temporary rust preventive fluid and
during execution of civil works, the dried film of coating shall be removed using organic
solvents.
6.04.03 Painting Of Steel Surfaces (Other Than Those Embedded In Concrete)
a) All steel surfaces shall be provided with two component moisture curing zinc (ethyl)
silicate primer coat (having minimum 80% of metallic Zinc content in dry film, solid by
volume minimum 60% ±2%) of minimum 70 micron DFT to be applied over blast cleaned
surface conforming to Sa 2 ½ finish of ISO 8501-1 with surface profile 40-60 Micron. The
primer coat shall be applied in shop immediately after blast cleaning by airless spray
technique. Zinc dust composition and properties shall be Type-II as per ASTM D520-00.
b) Primer coat shall be followed with the application of Intermediate coat of two component
polyamide cured epoxy with MIO Content (containing lamellar MIO minimum 30% on
pigment, solid by volume minimum 80% ±2%) of minimum 100 micron DFT. This coat
shall be applied in shop after an interval of minimum 24 hours (from the application of
primer coat) by airless spray technique.
c) Intermediate coat shall be followed with the application of finish coat of two-pack aliphatic
Isocyanate cured acrylic finish paint (solid by volume minimum 55% ±2%) with Gloss
retention (SSPC Paint Spec No 36, ASTM D 4587, D 2244, D 523) of Level 2 (after
minimum 1000 hours exposure, Gloss loss less than 30 and colour change less than 2.0
∆E) and minimum 70 micron DFT. This coat shall be applied shop after an interval of
minimum 10 hours and within six (6) months (from the completion of Intermediate coat),
Colour and shade of the coat shall be as approved by the Employer.
Notes:
1. For Primer, high quality surface preparation is necessary and good amount of moisture
is required for proper curing. Below 70 % relative humidity, curing time may go up to 7
days or more. In such a case additional water sprinkling may be ensured for
