What we do

Amusement park rides and attractions see a combination of stresses and elements unlike other comparable structures of their size and shape. The Coating Inspector works with government regulators and amusement parks to successfully control corrosion on rides and make corrosion inspection a critical and fundamental part of a park’s maintenance operation.

Corrosion & Coating Surveys

A coatings survey provides a sense of how a coating is currently performing and identifies any problems that need to be addressed immediately. The survey provides the next steps to be undertaken. Surveys are a necessary part of an ongoing maintenance plan and should be performed on a regular basis.

Coating Inspections

Coating inspections include checks of industrial equipment to ensure protective coatings were correctly applied to minimize corrosion risk. All our inspectors go through rigorous training to learn how to identify problems in coating applications. They can make recommendations for which types of coatings can best protect the materials from corroding.

Maintenance Programs

We create custom maintenance programs that identify areas to be surveyed, the level of detail required, and manpower that will be required to execute. We determine the data that will be taken and format to be used to ensure consistent judging criteria.

Design Build

The Coating Inspector provides project-specific Design Build Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) inspection plans that typically include: identify roles and responsibilities, preparatory and follow-up inspection guidelines, testing frequency, materials pre-approval, deficiency and non-compliance reports.

Consulting

Our consulting services include both coating inspection and failure analysis, damage assessment, surface roughness determination, technical specifications, general technical assistance, and granulometric research. Consulting for the chemical, construction, energy, industrial manufacturing, and oil and gas markets.

Our Process

1

Survey

A maintenance survey determines the coating conditions of a surface. Surveys are used to create a maintenance schedule for re-coating and touch-up applications.
2

Testing

The Coating Inspector performs testing for a wide range of coating applications. We test for conformity, compatibility, performance, coat thickness, hardness, adhesion, and finishes.
3

Recommendations

Once testing has been completed, we provide our detailed recommendations in a report. This ensures that all aspects of the survey are considered and addressed.
4

Coding Specifications

All jobs are conducted according to industry standards: NACE, ISO 9001:2015 and CSA/SSPC in Canada, ASTM and ISO for international clients.

What our clients say

“

HOCO Limited engaged The Coating Inspector's services for work on our Niagara SkyWheel. Scott developed a complete specification after carefully reviewing the structure's original coatings along with those used in recent years for general touch-up work. After the work was awarded and during the coating processes (both in-shop and on-site) Scott and his team provided high-level testing and inspection services and issued us detailed reports in a timely manner. When issues arose they promptly provided clear and concise instructions to correct.
