59-2.02C Construction
Repair damaged areas of the undercoat before installing piles.
Protect the exposed exterior flange and flange edges of undercoated piles from lean concrete backfill to minimize undercoating repairs.
After removing lean concrete backfill, repair damaged or deteriorated undercoat by blast cleaning and repainting with the same inorganic zinc coating as used for the undercoat.
Apply final or finish coats after installation and excavation are complete.
Caulk open joints between concrete and steel soldier piles with sealing compound or other authorized material.

Instead of submitting proof of the certification complying with SSPC-QP 2, you may submit documentation with the painting quality work plan showing compliance with the requirements in sections 4.2 through 4.4 of SSPC-QP 2, Category A.
Instead of submitting proof of the certification complying with AISC-420-10/SSPC-QP 3, enclosed shop, you may submit documentation with the painting quality work plan showing compliance with the requirements in sections 5 through 18 of AISC-420-10/SSPC-QP 3.
59-4.02 MATERIALS
Not Used
59-4.03 CONSTRUCTION 59-4.03A General
You may prepare and paint sign structures before or after erection. After erection, repair any damaged paint.
The total dry film thickness of finish coats on contact surfaces of galvanized HS bolted connections (1) must be from 1 to 4 mils and (2) may be applied in 1 application.
59-4.03B Undercoating of Ungalvanized Surfaces
Blast-cleaned surfaces must receive a single undercoat consisting of an inorganic zinc coating as specified in AASHTO M 300, Type I or Type II, except:
1. The first 2 sentences of section 5.6 do not apply.
2. Section 5.6.1 does not apply.
If you propose to use a coating that is not on the Authorized Material List for inorganic zinc-rich primer, submit the required documentation specified in section 5.6 of AASHTO M 300. Allow 30 days for the Engineer's review.
59-4.03C Testing of Inorganic Zinc Coating
Perform adhesion and hardness testing at least 72 hours after application of the single undercoat of inorganic zinc coating.
59-4.03D Finish Coats
The exposed area of inorganic zinc coating must receive at least 2 finish coats of exterior grade latex paint.
The 1st finish coat color must match no. 24558 of FED-STD-595. The 2nd finish coat color must match no. 24491 of FED-STD-595.

59-5.01C Submittals 59-5.01C(1) General
Submit a certificate of compliance for each shipment of wire feedstock.
Submit 3 copies of a coating quality work plan for thermal spray coating activities. Allow 20 days for the Department's review.
Submit the work plan after attending the precoating meeting and include:
1. Names of the coating contractor and any subcontractors to be used
2. 1 copy each of applicable ASTM and SSPC specifications or qualification procedures
3. Materials, methods, and equipment to be used
4. Proof of certification for each thermal spray coating operator

59-5.01D Quality Assurance 59-5.01D(1) General
Each thermal spray coating operator must be certified under AWS C2.16/C2.16M.
59-5.01D(2) Precoating Meeting
Before starting coating activities, conduct a precoating meeting to discuss coating quality work plan requirements. Meeting attendees must include the Engineer and all coating subcontractors.
Thermal spray coating operators must prepare 3 test coupons for bend testing before each work shift. Test coupons must:
1. Be 2 by 6 inches by 1/16-inch thick
2. Be of the same material as the surface to be coated

59-5.01D(4) Quality Control
The Engineer selects the test locations.
If repairs are required, retest rejected areas after completing repairs.
Test the surface profile of blast-cleaned steel under ASTM D4417, Method C. Perform 3 tests for the first 200 sq ft of blast-cleaned steel and 1 test for every 200 sq ft thereafter.
Test blast-cleaned steel for soluble salts before coating. Levels of soluble salts must not exceed 10 μg/sq cm. Perform 3 tests for the first 200 sq ft placed during a shift and 1 test for every 200 sq ft thereafter.
Inspect surfaces for visual cleanliness under SSPC-SP 10/NACE no. 2 before applying coating.
