Pipe Coating Inspection Interview and Insights

In this video my guest, Will Monroe and I discuss some experiences with coding inspectors and pitfalls with coating application. Here are some more links that you might find helpful in evaluating the quality of my work. For those of you interested in Field Applied FBE, somebody recorded one of my descriptions on the process years ago and I recently found it on youtube. This will show the process.    • Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) application by CCSI   This is a link to an article I wrote for Materials Performance magazine discussing the value of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD Coatings) protective coatings. https://www.materialsperformance.com/... To support that I also recently discovered that one of my presentations that discusses the coating damage related to HDD pipeline installations has been uploaded by the NACE Houston chapter. Here you will find images and some more details relating to pipeline coating damage. http://www.nace-houston.org/images/Th... One of the larger pipeline coating companies in the world also had me co-author a paper that was published in World Pipelines magazine in August 2018. Here is a link that once again discusses coating damage during HDD installation. http://www.canusacps.com/non_html/ref... In 2019 I published an article with NACE which discussed the discrepancy between PHMSA regulations and the current PRCI guidelines regarding pipeline coating protection in High Consequence Areas. Unfortunately this one isn't free, but if you are a NACE member you can probably download it. https://store.nace.org/phmsa-regulati... This link is to a presentation I put together in 2015 regarding soil to air transitions. This was specifically requested of me and the presentation was given to the Texas Gulf section NACE chapter. https://www.nace-txlagulfsection.org/...
