To protect against harsh weather, corrosion and other damaging environmental factors, protective coatings are applied to buildings to help prevent deterioration.
Whether they are commercial buildings, or residential properties, these protective coatings are a crucial part of maintaining the building structure. To ensure these coatings are effectively applied and maintained, regular inspections are essential. These inspections are carried out by a NACE or ICORR inspectors.
These professionals are qualified to inspect and assess the condition of protective coatings on structures and equipment. They are responsible for ensuring that the coatings are applied correctly and that they are in good condition to protect the building from corrosion.
Coatings play an important role in protecting structures against a wide array of threats. However, coatings are not immune to wear and tear, and factors such as exposure to harsh chemicals, UV radiation, and temperature fluctuations can cause them to deteriorate over time, affecting their ability to perform. This is where regular coating inspections come in.
Traditional methods of accessing areas for coating inspections, such as erecting scaffolding, can be time-consuming, costly, and disruptive. Rope access on the other hand, presents an efficient alternative. Rope access technicians, certified with NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) and ICORR (Institute of Corrosion) qualifications, are equipped to access even the most challenging areas for coating inspections.
Taking advantage of rope access for coating inspections, offers many benefits:
Efficiency: Rope access allows technicians to reach inspection points swiftly and with ease, reducing time to complete the project, minimising downtime.
Disruption minimisation: Unlike scaffolding, which can obstruct and disrupt surrounding areas, rope access is unobtrusive and causes minimal disruption while operations are underway.
Cost-effectiveness: The reduced setup and dismantling times associated with rope access translate to lower labour and material costs, making it a cost-effective choice.
Safety first: Safety is paramount in any inspection task. Our Rope access technicians are extensively trained and follow strict safety protocols, minimizing risks associated with working at heights.
Comprehensive inspection: NACE and ICORR inspectors have the expertise to thoroughly assess coating conditions, identify issues, and recommend appropriate solutions.
