Why Undertake A Coating Survey?
When a structure owner or manager decides that a works programme is going to be implemented, they generally decide that a coating survey will be required as a precursor to the works programme; this vital information will ultimately help when painting packages are created.
They also potentially help alleviate any future contracting issues by identifying possible hazards and environmental issues such as toxicology.

Frequently Asked Questions

Coating condition surveys are used primarily to confirm the coatings have been applied correctly, and also that they have been applied in a way that prevents corrosion, which can cause serious damage to a structure.
Determining coating thickness is important because it impacts the overall structure’s longevity, performance, capabilities, quality, and appearance. Therefore it is important to know how thick your structure’s coating is, and how you can improve.
