Quality Assurance Programs
Because we remain completely independent of coatings manufacturers and contractors,
you can be assured of the integrity of the report. Your final report will
include a detailed written analysis of our findings along with a narrated
underwater video tape of the inspection for your files. The report will
also include specific recommendations to repair or maintain structure. Underwater
inspection is the most highly efficient, cost-effective method of inspection
that can eliminate major repairs to tanks or other submerged structures.
The early signs of coating failure usually occur at welds, mechanically
damaged areas, and where pinholes and holidays are present. Early detection
and repair of defects will assure maximum life of the protective coating
system.
There is no coating that is fail safe. However, it is possible to add years
to the life of a coating system through proper on-site inspection during
the coating process. Since we specialize in protective coatings, we are
experts in why coatings fail and how to avoid their premature failure. Coatings
failures result from many factors, such as not adhering to specifications,
improper surface preparation, mixing errors, application processes, climactic
conditions, etc. Our inspectors ridgedly adhere to governing specifications,
to assure work is accomplished as prescribed. Oftentimes a surface is improperly
prepared prior to coating thus leading to a failure within months, which
leads to a costly repair, recoat and downtime.
We are true professionals dedicated to coatings inspection and corrosion
prevention. Furthermore, we adhere to all local and federal health and safety
regulations. Also we are fully insured so you can feel comfortable with
any service we provide.
