Specialized Consulting in Corrosion and Coating Integrity

Field Diagnosis, Failure Analysis, and Performance Management

Technical evaluation, diagnosis, and specialized consulting in corrosion, coating failures, and protective system performance for assets in operation or under maintenance.

Technical Focus and Diagnosis

Specialized technical services for corrosion diagnosis and evaluation of industrial coating integrity, focused on critical assets in sectors such as Oil & Gas, energy, mining, infrastructure, and the chemical industry. This service integrates inspection tools, root cause analysis, document review, and on-site technical audits.

The objective is to identify the causes of premature degradation, determine the existing level of protection, and develop remediation, maintenance, or improvement strategies based on regulatory criteria (ISO, AMPP) and real operating conditions.

Applicable to both new construction projects (specification review and QA/QC) and operating assets (performance analysis and recovery planning).

Scope of Service Includes:

• On-site technical inspection: Visual assessment, thickness measurements, adhesion testing, surface profile evaluation, application condition review, and documentation of deterioration.
• Coating failure diagnosis: Identification of failure mechanisms such as osmosis, blistering, delamination, underfilm corrosion, disbonding, and related defects.
• Specification review and regulatory compliance verification: Assessment of the applied system versus project technical and regulatory requirements.
• Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and technical recommendations: Determination of the origin of failures and definition of corrective and preventive actions.
• Recovery or maintenance planning: Definition of repair systems, surface preparation methods, application sequences, and intervention schedules.

Applicable Standards and Codes (Depending on Scope)

• ISO 4628 / ISO 12944 / ISO 8501 / ISO 19840 – Evaluation of coating deterioration, performance, and quality control.
• SSPC-SP / AMPP – Inspection procedures, failure criteria, and repair methods.
• ASTM D4541 / D714 / D610 / D1654 – Adhesion testing, blistering evaluation, rusting assessment, and scribe creep testing.

Typical Deliverables

• Technical report with detailed diagnosis and photographic records.
• Findings matrix including probable causes and damage severity.
• Remediation recommendations, technical specifications, and suggested systems.
• Intervention schedule or maintenance plan.
• Technical dossier with full analysis traceability and regulatory support.
