GENERAL NOTES
The first three incidents of each Inspection or testing activity listed require 100 % participation by Saudi Aramco Site Inspection Personnel. After this period, Saudi Aramco Inspection may adjust the
1 levels of Saudi Aramco participation based upon the Contractor’s performance.
2 Surveillance: QA/QC organization to monitor work in progress without notice from Construction Organization.
Witness: QA/QC organization shall be notified of the timing of inspection or test in advance. However, the inspection or test shall be performed as scheduled if the QA/QC organization
3 representative is not present.
Hold: QA/QC organization shall be notified of the timing of inspection or test in advance. Inspection or test shall not be carried out without the QA/QC organization representative in
4 attendance.
5 If the Main Contractor delegates the assigned responsibility to the Subcontractor, then the Main Contractor will have the same degree of responsibility as assigned to Saudi Aramco.

Galvanized Coating Repair Procedure
1) Evaluate the damage ----- Determine Surface Area Criteria against 12-SAMSS-007 Reqmts below.
2) Determine type repair required by determining the affected area:
Complete Rework - Par 5.2.6.8 Galvanized steel is rejected & returned to be stripped, regalvanized, & reinspected.
When surface defects exceed 2% of a member's area, defects shall be repaired by redipping member in zinc bath.
Hot work Repair - 5.2.6.6 Hot repair shall be made using zinc alloy rod or powder for repair of galvanized steel.
a. Total damaged area is greater than 1% but less than 2% of the total coated area of the member being repaired
b. Any single repair is at least 2 in² (1,300 mm²) in area
c. Any single repair is 12-inches (300 mm) long or more
Recommendation: Select Method A1 (Cost). Method A3 (Metallizing or flame spray) is expensive & Safety issues.
Cold work Repair - using an organic zinc rich coating (primer in APCS-1C) is allowed if total damaged area is less
than 1% of total coated area of member being repaired & no single repair is greater than 1300 mm² or 300 mm long.
The dry film thickness shall be 0.05 to 0.08 mm (2 to 3 mils) and contain a minimum of 65% zinc dust by weight.
3) Perform the repair after following surface preparation using one of three methods or by redipping.
Thickness of Repaired Coatings shall match or exceed original spec (as measured on adjacent sound coating) &
shall exhibit good workmanship. Tip: Every attempt shall be made to prevent increasing the repair area.Keep it small
4) HOLD POINT FOR REPAIR INSPECTION BY SA. FINAL ACCEPTANCE & CLOSE NCR (IF REDIP IS REQ'D)
