Grand Victoria Casino Boat

During renovation of the Grand Victoria Casino (GVC) riverboat in Elgin, Illinois, owners hit the jackpot after the coating systems for exterior metalwork and decking were shuffled to accommodate long-lasting polyurethane and fluoropolymer technology from Tnemec.

'After 20 years in service, the riverboat was in need of a makeover,' explained Erik Otten, coating consultant with Taylor Coating Sales. 'The exterior painted decking and metalwork required yearly maintenance and the owners desired a longer-lasting coating system.'

A thick buildup of old paint and the location of the casino over a waterway presented challenges for Otten and the coating contractor when it came to surface preparation and their coating selection.

General surface preparation consisted of power washing and SSPC-SP 2 Hand Tool Cleaning to remove loose rust, scale and deteriorated coatings and obtain a sound rusted surface. Some deck surfaces were prepared in accordance with SSPC-SP 6/NACE No. 3 Commercial Blast Cleaning.

Grand Victoria Riverboat was founded in 2005, and is located at 250 S Grove Ave in Elgin.

The Grand Victoria II, since 1996 is the center part of the Grand Victoria Casino & Resort in Rising Sun, Indiana. While the boat is 'the finest diesel-electric sternwheeler ever built' (Capt. Don Sanders), she is permanently moored right on Indiana's state border and can't move without violating Kentucky's strict gambling laws.

'Special care had to be taken to avoid getting paint in the waterway,' Otten recalled. 'Field testing determined that the buildup of old coatings was too thick to use traditional solvent-based tie coats. We had to come up with a coating system that would be compatible and offer less stress with the existing coatings, while allowing us to use polyurethane and fluoropolymer finish coats.'

Several test patches were prepared using Series 118 Uni-Bond Mastic, a single component, mastic waterborne acrylic coating for use on minimally prepared painted steel. The coating was spray-applied as a full intermediate tie coat on metal surfaces.
