GENERAL NOTES: For commercial swimming pools, sandblasting specifications require adherence to industry standards for surface preparation, safety, and proper abrasive selection before applying new coatings or plaster. Given that many newer and safer methods exist, such as dustless blasting and hydro blasting, traditional "sandblasting" with silica-based sand is strongly discouraged due to the health risks of crystalline silica dust. The following is a general specification for abrasive blasting a commercial pool. Description: This section specifies the requirements for abrasive blast cleaning of an existing commercial swimming pool shell to remove previous coatings, (including paint) deteriorated plaster, or other surface contaminants. The goal is to achieve a surface profile that promotes maximum adhesion for the new finish. B. Surface Preparation Standard: All work shall comply with the Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC) standards. The required finish is SSPC-SP 6, Commercial Blast Cleaning, which removes all visible oil, grease, dirt, mill scale, rust, and old paint, and concrete chipping as directed by Project representative or Structural Engineer who is monitoring the work. Up to 33% ofthe surface area may retain minor staining. A.
