"Researching and Predicting Service Life for D102 Coating Systems Pt. 2"
Join Cameron and Dave Walker as they discuss their research paper that outlines which AWWA D102 water tank coating system will offer the lowest life cycle cost. Separating Fact from Fiction: AWWA D102 Coating Service Life," selecting the right coating system with the lowest life cycle cost can be much easier. AWWA D102 provides no guidance on which coating system is best, but does suggest the consideration of both site specific conditions and life cycle costing before choosing your system. To this end, the findings from "Separating Fact from Fiction" can provide owners and engineers with tangible evidence of coating service life – and the life cycle costs associated with each system – based on real-world case histories of water tanks coated with products from a variety of coating manufacturers. To schedule a presentation of the findings, and receive your copy of the paper, visit Tnemec.com/water-tank-service-life
