Presentation Notes

The Blast Booth uses steel grit that is recycled 50 to 60 times during the blasting process. The Blast Booth and Paint Shop were designed to handle a radial gate which measure approximately 17 ft x 17 ft. The Blast Booth has a Hepa air filtration system which filters down to 5 microns.

Presenter

Presentation Notes

The Paintbooth is heated and cooled. The epoxy coatings used need a minimum of 60 degrees and a maximum of 100 degrees to cure Rails run between the paint and blast booth for easy movement of large parts The construction of the new Blastbooth and Paintbooth was completed in 2008

Presenter

Presentation Notes

These cabinets are used for abrasive blasting of small parts and equipment Completely self contained, recycled abrasive material, filters that remove all dust down to 5 microns

Presentation Notes

Trailer mounted with a half cubic yard sized hopper for vacuuming spent abrasive from job sites

Presenter

Presentation Notes

This compressor is used for abrasive blasting and breathable air The air coming out of the machine is instrument quality air (does not need to be filtered)

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Working pressure 40,000 psi at 6 gallons per minute Noise level is 115 decibels which is equal to the sound of a jet at take off at 10 meters Operating limits are one hour per employee per day because of the noise level

Presenter

Presentation Notes

56 – 1 means for every 1 psi there are 56 psi at the spray nozzle. 100 psi equals 5,600 psi. These are used to spray epoxy coatings The higher pressure is needed because of the thickness of the coatings being used

Presenter

Presentation Notes

The pressure washer is used to clean areas before painting

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Abrasive blast pots operate at 90 to 100 psi Blasting produces decibels up to 115 limiting blasters to one hour per day

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Uses an asphalt based material heated to 350 degrees F Material is used to seal joints and cracks on the canal lining to prevent leakage

Recoating the roof at Bouse Hills Pumping Plant Approximately 300,000 sq. ft. All of the pumping plants roofs are foam roofs and the protective elastomeric coating needs to be reapplied every 7 to 10 years

Presenter

Presentation Notes

The gates weigh approximately 17,000 lbs with the arms attached and are approximately 17 ft x 17 ft in size This gate has been water jetted with the next process to be abrasive blasting before recoating

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Water jetting at a pipe overchute There are approximately 260 pipe overchutes

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Finished product of pipe overchute. These overchutes carry drainage water from one side of the canal to the other. Most are above the water but some are submerged Pipes are approximately 60 inches in diameter and 100 ft long The work is performed working off of barges designed and built at CAP

Presentation Notes

Protective Coatings constructed this mockup of Buckskin Mountain (Mark Wilmer) demonstrating the pumping of the water uphill from the plant and the gravity flow of the water down to the different turnouts etc. along the way.

õPainting/coating is very easy when you don’t know how, but

very difficult when you do.
