Use of Hot Water Pressure Wash Surface Preparation and HRCSA Coatings in Bridge Maintenance

(c)1036338 (wo) 3In this Transportation Research Synthesis (TRS), state-of-the-art practice of highway bridge maintenance painting using high-ratio calcium sulfonate alkyd (HRCSA) and hot water pressure wash (HWPW) is reviewed and different state DOTs are surveyed. In summary, low-toxic HRCSA causes less pollution, eliminates waiting time between layers of coatings, and performs well for corrosion prevention. However, like any other protective coating system, optimum HRCSA performance requires following the manufacturer\u2019s specifications. Contrary to what the term \u201cone-coat system\u201d may suggest, HRCSA application is a multi-step process that requires HWPW surface preparation. Based on the literature review and survey findings, without further testing and trials, HRCSA is recommended only for maintenance tasks that can strictly fulfill the manufacturer\u2019s specifications, i.e., an initial HWPW followed by the multi-step process and sufficient drying time before an extreme weather event

Workforce Development and Succession Planning to Prepare the Rural Transit Industry for the Future: Executive Summary

As America\u2019s transportation workforce continues to age, there is an increased need to invest in workforce development to combat the impending retirement tsunami. This is especially true within the small urban and rural transit industry. A national survey of rural transit managers was conducted to determine current workforce development practices as well as succession planning procedures. Viable responses were received from 160 agencies in 40 states. The majority of transit agency managers responding to the survey have been employed by their agency for more than 15 years while 75% of total respondents were 50 years of age or older. One-third of respondents indicated they plan to retire within the next 5 years while only 15% have any viable succession plan in place to combat this high management turnover
