About Project

DFSP Charleston is a government-owned, contractor operated facility whose primary function is housing jet fuel. In 2018 Thomas Industrial Coatings TIC contained, completed surface preparation, and applied coatings to over 122,900 square feet of 18-inch pipe per government specifications.

The existing coating on the piping contained lead and an SSPC Class 1A containment was utilized to limit emissions. The pipe originated at a fuel terminal and traversed through the facility and terminated at a pier. TIC used five painters to contain, blast, and prime the piping while a second crew worked on the pipe supports to provide full access. A third crew of two painters sprayed the finish coat.

Pipe bands and identification labels were applied at the completion of the coating application. In addition, a suspended platform was installed underneath the piping over Charlie’s Pond, a body of water that is home to the facility’s resident alligator.
