DIXON highly recommends a One Year Warranty Inspection (WI) to test the condition of the coating one year after all work is completed (labor and materials). A Warranty Inspection will include problems that may arise from defective materials. If a coating failure occurs, the contractor is responsible to correct the work at no cost to the owner. A one year maintenance bond ensures the contractor's responsibility to correct any defective work discovered at the warranty inspection. DIXON completes this inspection using high pressure water for adhesion testing.

High Pressure Cleaning

DIXON recommends high pressure cleaning before the MI to remove all the accumlated lime on the clarifier in order to detect any deterioration of the steel, and also to perform an accurate adhesion test on the remaining coating.

After high pressure cleaning, DIXON will provide you with a detailed Conclusions and Recommendations report specifically prepared for your clarifier. The report includes photographs, budgetary items, and a Field Inspection Report (FIR), which informs a contractor about the condition of the coating.

General Recommendations

DIXON will arrange a date of inspection that is mutually agreeable.
