Scope inputs
A useful first brief identifies substrate type and condition, existing coating/system, chemical, washdown, abrasion, or weather exposure, temperature/moisture conditions, required prep and access, and cure and return-to-service window.
What the capability includes
Field verification for scope confirmation; compatible preparation; defined repairs/details where included; application/installation sequence; cure protection; and turnover observations appropriate to the fictional scope.
What it does not claim
No engineering/stamping, environmental remediation, hazardous-material response, regulatory certification, or independent compliance determination. Product/system selection in a real project would follow specifications, exposure data, substrate testing, and manufacturer requirements.
Related decisions
Use the planning resources to separate scope-definition questions from execution. Capability pages explain what Iron Meridian would perform; resources explain how an owner should think about preparation, repair, outage windows, and pricing inputs.
Where the scope changes
A coating scope can change substantially when an existing film must be removed rather than overcoated, when moisture or contamination changes preparation, when chemical exposure narrows the system options, or when traffic cannot be removed for the full cure period. Those are not finish-selection details; they determine whether the surface can be prepared and protected as specified.
The initial review should therefore separate owner/specifier performance requirements from field-execution facts. Iron Meridian can organize the latter—condition, access, prep, repair, detailing, application sequence, and handoff—while compatibility and product requirements remain tied to the actual specification and manufacturer data.
