Whether new or existing structures, our National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) accredited inspectors can perform an in-depth analysis and condition assessment prior to construction or maintenance works. We’ll clearly identify the scope and scale of your project. Should we identify any areas of concern, you’ll get a failure analysis that explains the nature and extent of any damage that may be present.
This information can be used to develop a dedicated surface treatment specification and inspection and test plan (ITP) during the planning stage. This ensures congruency throughout the project, saving you time and money.
Projects big or small, shutdowns long or short - we’ve got you covered. We can provide full-time on-site inspection and quality assurance throughout surface treatment or scheduled hold point inspections. Either way, you’ll receive our expert priority service.
Avoid coating defects such as cracking and flaking of paint film, and excessive drying times. Optimize paint appearance, opacity, and its coating’s protective properties with this quick, non-destructive test.
Used to determine coating system performance or as a requirement of a coating specification. Also helps determine the integrity of coating systems and to indicate whether maintenance is required, especially for older systems.
Discontinuity or a “holiday” in paint coatings or linings can result in early failure of equipment or assets. Request a High Voltage Direct Current Spark Test for dry film thickness above 1kv (1000v), or Low Voltage Spark Test for dry film thickness below 200 microns.
Avoid premature coating failure from osmotic blistering or disbondment by conducting this test after abrasive blast-cleaning.
An inspection to determine surface cleanliness after conducting abrasive blast cleaning - the most significant mechanical cleaning of rusted or mill-scaled surfaces.
Determine the level of roughness of a surface to avoid premature coating adhesion failure.
Inspection of concrete protective coatings.
Achieve good bonding by testing for surface structural soundness through a CSP inspection.
A simple yet effective method of assessing and documenting coatings and linings using visual or optical methods.
Ensuring the pH of concrete is ideal before commencing flooring installation.
Catch carbonation and corrosion early by testing to prevent decay of a reinforced concrete structure.
A critical process to be conducted regularly in all pipeline corrosion-control programs.
A test to measure the hardness of applied coating materials and the degree of cure.
A test to ensure the ideal atmospheric conditions are met in order to successfully apply a coating or lining.
Indicates propagation and control of cracks to avoid problems of serviceability and durability of concrete.
A test for high-density polyethylene liners.
