Coating Failure Analysis

Premature failures of a coating system can be anything from a minor annoyance to a major disruption of service. These failures can cost the owner of the asset and possibly the contractor extra time and money. We can assist in determining the cause of the failure and in many cases, propose a solution.

• Environmental controls – surface contaminants (CSN chlorides, sulfates, nitrates), moisture testing, environmental conditions monitoring (ambient air temps, RH, Dew Point, wind speed, surface temperature)

• Warranty audits

• Tank evaluations

• Coating Survey’s

• Corrosion Survey and Analysis

​
