Inspectors undergo rigorous training to identify application flaws and recommend optimal coating solutions. We serve industries such as infrastructure, marine, and energy, providing detailed reports to guide maintenance decisions.
Corrosion Inspection
Corrosion inspections assess coating performance and identify immediate risks. Surveys form the basis of ongoing maintenance plans, ensuring timely interventions. Our AMPP-certified team addresses corrosion challenges in pipelines, bridges, and industrial equipment.

AMPP-certified inspectors deliver expert corrosion assessments and preventative strategies. With decades of experience, we adhere to global standards for industries requiring compliance with NACE/AMPP protocols. Our services include failure analysis and coating specification reviews.
Dry Film Thickness Testing
Dry Film Thickness (DFT) testing measures coating quality by evaluating thickness adherence. This foundational test ensures coatings meet performance criteria. We use calibrated tools to guarantee accuracy and compliance with industry standards.
Holiday Non-Destructive Testing
Holiday testing detects voids in protective coatings using high-voltage electrical charges. This non-destructive method identifies flaws without damaging surfaces. Our inspectors ensure coating integrity for critical infrastructure, preventing costly failures.
