Coating Surveys
Comprehensive coating condition assessments and hazardous material analysis.
Service Overview
A comprehensive coating condition survey is critical to the effective planning and execution of maintenance painting works. Inadequate assessment of existing coating systems, substrate condition, or the presence of hazardous materials can result in coating incompatibility, non-compliance with specifications, programme delays, and unplanned costs.
Our ICorr/AMPP-certified inspectors undertake systematic inspections and testing in accordance with relevant ISO standards, National Highways requirements, and Network Rail specifications, ensuring coating systems are accurately assessed and appropriate maintenance strategies are defined.
Standards-Led, Sector-Specific Approach
All surveys are developed to meet the requirements of infrastructure owners and managing authorities, including Network Rail, National Highways, renewables, and offshore assets. Survey scope and inspection methodology are aligned with applicable standards and sector-specific technical requirements.
While each coating condition survey is tailored to specific project and asset requirements, our methodology follows a structured approach to ensure a complete understanding of coating performance, deterioration mechanisms, and maintenance priorities.
