Bolt tightening clearances may become a problem for thick inner flange splice plates or flange bolt patterns that use a narrow bolt gauge, I, across the web. A thorough review is required to ensure that a 2.5” diameter socket with 1/16” clearance can be used. Typically, when bolt tightening clearances are an issue the bolt gauge, I, needs to be increased but the sealing check shall not be violated. If increasing the bolt gauge is not an option the clearance to web bolts, e, shall be increased the minimum extent necessary to maintain a practical uniform web bolt pattern.

Maintenance of either System G or I should be considered the same. Reduced maintenance is an expectation for System L.

	:(b) System I is a polysiloxane finish coat that is normally applied directly over an inorganic or organic zinc primer with no intermediate coating. Since the system is a two-coat system, it may be applied in less time which can influence critical path scheduling and impacts to the driving public. For example, it may be possible for a contractor to get in and out quicker than if they were to use a three-coat system. MoDOT coating policy as described in Standard Specification Section 1081 requires different field coating requirements based on the type of bridge crossing. For roadway grade separations, it is required that interior girders have only a single field coat in order to satisfy that all girders on a roadway grade separation bridge have at least two coatings for protection. In the case of System I, the Standard Specifications require that a System G epoxy intermediate field coat be applied to all interior girders and the interior of fascia girders and that the System I polysiloxane finish coating be applied to the exterior of the facia girders only. This is based on a system I polysiloxane coating cost being greater than a system G epoxy coating on a per-gallon cost basis. It also requires that the contractor be given the option to substitute the System I finish coat in place of a System G intermediate coat. If CSD determines that the polysiloxane should be applied to all girders, then the general notes for coatings and the quantities on the contract plans will need to reflect the revised coating requirements.		:(b) System I is a polysiloxane finish coat that is normally applied directly over an inorganic or organic zinc primer with no intermediate coating.

	System G, H or I ~~typically require an inorganic~~ or ~~organic zinc primer per Sec 1081~~. Inorganic zinc shall be used for new steel fabrication. For recoating operations, organic zinc primer should be considered as a direct replacement for the inorganic zinc required in the specifications. Organic zinc primers require a lower level of surface preparation (SSPC-SP6: commercial blast cleaning vs SSPC-SP10: near white blast cleaning) and are generally easier to apply in the field than inorganic zinc primers. Only organic zinc primers that can provide a Class B slip coefficient are allowed for use in recoating operations.		System L (two-coat system) may be used for non-weathering steel and weathering steel structures. System L requires an inorganic zinc primer so organic zinc shall not be substituted. Testing indicates that System L is expected to outlast System G, H or I coatings when properly applied. Since the system is a two-coat system, it may be applied in less time which can influence critical path scheduling and impacts to the driving public. Similarly, the expectation for reduced maintenance should be considered for areas where access is limited or impactful (e.g., over railroads and interstates).

			Inorganic zinc primer shall be used for new steel fabrication with System G, I or L coatings. For recoating operations with System G, H or I, where closure time has severe impacts on cost or safety, organic zinc primer should be considered as a direct replacement for the inorganic zinc required in the specifications.

For roadway grade separations, it is required that interior girders have only a single field coat in order to satisfy that all girders on a roadway grade separation bridge have at least two coatings for protection. In the case of System I, the Standard Specifications require that a System G epoxy intermediate field coat be applied to all interior girders and the interior of fascia girders and that the System I polysiloxane finish coating be applied to the exterior of the facia girders only. This is based on a system I polysiloxane coating cost being greater than a system G epoxy coating on a per-gallon cost basis. It also requires that the contractor be given the option to substitute the System I finish coat in place of a System G intermediate coat. If CSD determines that the polysiloxane should be applied to all girders, then the general notes for coatings and the quantities on the contract plans will need to reflect the revised coating requirements.

			System G, H or I typically require an inorganic or organic zinc primer per Sec 1081. Inorganic zinc shall be used for new steel fabrication. For recoating operations, organic zinc primer should be considered as a direct replacement for the inorganic zinc required in the specifications. Organic zinc primers require a lower level of surface preparation (SSPC-SP6: commercial blast cleaning vs SSPC-SP10: near white blast cleaning) and are generally easier to apply in the field than inorganic zinc primers. Only organic zinc primers that can provide a Class B slip coefficient are allowed for use in recoating operations.

	System G (three-coat system) is ~~the preferred system~~ for ~~both~~ non-~~weathering and~~ weathering steel ~~structures~~ ([http://www.modot.org/business/standards_and_specs/SpecbookEPG.pdf#page=14 Sec 1081]). System G typically is not preferred when overlapping an existing vinyl coating but may be allowed if the existing coating is determined to be in good condition. System G uses a solvent based finish coat which may cause issues when overlapping an existing solvent-based vinyl coating system (System C) because it may re-wet the existing coating and cause delamination of the base coat. If the existing coating is in good condition as determined by paint pull-off tests the intermediate epoxy coating will provide a reliable barrier between the solvent-based coatings. Consult the structural project manager or structural liaison engineer before using System G near existing vinyl coatings.		System G (three-coat system) is typically used for non-weathering steel ([http://www.modot.org/business/standards_and_specs/SpecbookEPG.pdf#page=14 Sec 1081]).
	System G has replaced calcium sulfonate as the preferred overcoating system. To ensure sufficient bond of the existing coating, adhesion pull-off tests shall be performed in accordance with ASTM D4541. If the adhesion test fails, as determined by the engineer of record, then overcoating shall not be allowed and recoating should be considered.

	System H (three-coat system) is typically used ~~when the bond~~ for ~~System G is considered questionable~~ where ~~recoating~~ operations will take place near an existing vinyl coating system (System C)~~. System H uses a waterborne acrylic for the intermediate and finish field coats that does not tend to interfere with the solvent-based vinyl coating~~.

	:(a) System I should be considered in areas where the aesthetics of a coating system over the long term is unusually more critical than System G. While System G and I provide long term protection, System I has excellent gloss retention and UV resistance. System I is a context sensitive design (CSD) solution.

	:(b) System I is a polysiloxane finish coat that is normally applied directly over an inorganic ~~or organic~~ zinc primer with no intermediate coating.
