Inspection of Industrial Coatings
Scope of Industrial Coating Inspection
Quality Control · Asset Integrity · International Compliance
Industrial coatings are the first line of defense against corrosion. Without expert technical inspection, even the best system can fail prematurely.
We offer independent inspection and quality control under international standards for industrial, marine, offshore and pipeline transport projects.
INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT
Service provided by:
- AMPP Senior Certified Coatings Inspector
- AMPP Certified Coatings Inspector
- NACE Coating Inspector Level 2

COMPREHENSIVE TECHNICAL SCOPE
Surface Preparation
- Verification in accordance with SSPC / NACE / ISO
- Abrasive blast cleaning
- Anchor profile measurement
- Surface pollution assessment
- Pre-application inspection
Control During Application
- Monitoring of environmental conditions
- Verification of mixture and shelf life
- Wet thickness measurement (WFT)
- Supervision according to specification
Post-Application Inspection
- Dry thickness measurement (DFT)
- Holiday detection (high and low voltage)
- Adhesion tests
- Final visual inspection
- Validation against project specification
SPECIALIZATION IN MARINE AND OFFSHORE ENVIRONMENTS
Marine environments demand advanced technical control due to:
- High salinity
- Constant humidity
- Severe thermal cycles
- splash zone
Backed by ICorr (UK) certification for inspection at:
- Offshore platforms
- Maritime terminals
- Coastal infrastructure
- Structures exposed to a saline environment
SPECIALIZATION IN PIPELINES AND DUCTS
Specific certification in:
ICorr Pipeline Coating Inspector Level 2
Aplications:
- Overground pipelines
- Field joint coatings
- Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE)
- Buried linings
- Linear hydrocarbon transport projects
In pipeline projects, quality control of coatings is critical for the long-term integrity of the system.
