What we check
An inspection is measurements, not just a look at the job. These are the most common checks, and the specification decides what is measured in your project.
- Before and during
01Climate and dew point
Temperature, humidity and dew point before and during application, so the coating cures properly.
- Before application
02Cleanliness after blasting
The surface is checked against the requirement in the specification, for example Sa 2½.
- Before application
03Roughness
The profile of the blasted steel has to suit the coating system that goes on.
- Before application
04Salts and dust
Salt and dust under the coating cause blistering and corrosion. We measure before application.
- Coat by coat
05Film thickness
Dry film thickness is measured against the specification, coat by coat.
- After application
06Adhesion
Adhesion is tested where the specification requires it, before the job is approved.
03
How we work
A fixed workflow makes it easy to know what happens and what you receive.
01
Requirements and specification
We review the project requirements and agree what needs to be documented.
02
System and products
We recommend the coating system, calculate quantities and supply the products.
03
Inspection during the job
We check surface preparation and application, and follow up deviations immediately.
04
Report and handover
You receive documentation that the work has been carried out to specification.
04
Other advisory services
Coating system selection
We assess substrate, environment, service life and requirements, and recommend a system with the right products and film thicknesses.
Documentation
Reports showing the work has been carried out to specification, ready for handover.
Quantity calculation
We calculate how much you need before you order, avoiding both waste and stoppages.
Follow-up throughout
We are involved from start to completion, not only when the products are delivered.
