About Corrosion Inspection & Prevention
Corrosion inspection involves three critical elements:
- An initial inspection for corrosion to determine your current levels of corrosion
- A preventative maintenance plan to prevent further contamination and decay
- A proactive plan to fix any issues that will impact your assets, such as reapplying coatings by a certified contractor
When we work with a client we first provide a phone consultation to assess the scope of work. Then, we provide an on-site inspection by one of our NACE, OACETT and SSPC certified coating inspectors to assess the current corrosion levels. Our experts perform a comprehensive audit on site and provide the business, key stakeholders and your engineering team with a full report and actionable recommendations based on our extensive, industry-specific experience.
Proper maintenance, prevention, and assessment of corrosion is paramount to protect your mission-critical business assets, across a number of industries. Corrosion can cause contamination, leaks, or equipment failures. Left unchecked, unmonitored, and without preventative and proactive corrosion can cause critical and expensive equipment failures and repairs.
Delayed operations, run-time and downtime costs, subsequent labor costs, and equipment replacement costs can pile up. This causes a runaway of costs. It’s far more expensive to not have a comprehensive corrosion resistance plan.

Our process
our coating inspection process
We have a tried and true methodology for assessing and prevention corrosion through our ISO-standardized and client-customized workflow.
01.
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.
02.
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.
03.
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.
04.
Coating Specifications
All jobs are conducted according to industry standards: NACE/AMPP, ISO 9001:2015 and CSA/SSPC in Canada, ASTM and ISO for international clients.
05.
our team
The Coating Inspector works with contractors, owners, and engineers. We are a third party unbiased leader in the provision of professional coating inspection services.
06.
blasting & painting
The Coating Inspector provides supervision and project management in the sandblasting, painting and coatings industry.
Our Services
We check industrial equipment to ensure protective coatings were correctly applied to minimize corrosion risk. Our inspectors go through rigorous training to identify problems in coating applications. They can make recommendations for which types of coatings can best protect the materials from corroding.
This is the qualitative test of the adhesion coating system. This test will only give allow to ensure there is an adequate bond to the coated substrate. This test does not differentiate between levels of bonding. Adhesion testing is used to evaluate the adhesion to the substrate, in between coats, and internal film.
Formerly called the NACE certification, our AMPP certified inspectors have decades of combined experience. We protect industrial and commercial business assets from corrosion. Invest in hiring one of the top-rated NACE inspectors in the world. Get a free consultation on your business asset protection by contacting us today.
To determine the quality of the protective coating our inspector will measure dry film thickness or DFT. Considered one of the most important tests an inspector can make. DFT test serves as a foundation for the entire coating inspection,.
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.
The Coating Inspector can conduct a non-destructive High Voltage Holiday Testing to find any voids and failures. This is possible due to electrical charge that flows through protective coating. Invest in hiring one of the top-rated AMPP inspectors in the world.

What sets the coating inspector apart?
The Coating Inspector is ISO certified, something few competitors can offer. We also have extensive reviews, decades of combined experience and the most highly trained coating inspectors in the industry.
What is an ISO Certification?
“Certification to ISO 45001 demonstrates an organisations commitment to a safer working environment and the protection of employees against injury at work.
ISO 45001 certified organisations have identified and operate to regulatory requirements through enforcing procedures for compliance with legislation. Improved identification of hazards and risk management, involving all levels of the organisation through setting objectives, targets and documented responsibilities are recognised by regulators as a commitment to safe working conditions and continuous improvement.”

QAS ISO certifies strict compliance procedures to legislative and standard compliances.
Service
We have been certified in continuous improvement and service to our compliance.
Commitment
We are commited to impeccable client service & employee safety.
What is nace/ampp?
The AMPP (Formerly know as The National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE)) is a globally recognized certification body to certify and train corrosion engineers.
With over 36,000 members globally, it is the most recognized trade association of corrosion inspectors to ensure industry standards in the coating inspection industry.
Established in 1943, it serves to train corrosion inspectors, enforce industry standards, certify engineers, publish and research corrosion inspection techniques and journals, as well as provide a standardized approach to corrosion inspection and prevention.
NACE “equips society to protect people, assets and the environment from the adverse effects of corrosion.”
How much does coating inspection cost?
Every project, business and industrial assets are unique. Depending on the scope of work, location and amount of inspectors or work hours required for your project, the cost can vary.
However, The Coating Inspector is committed to saving your business time, money and assets. The cost of equipment breakdown, shutdown or repair delays can cost your business far more resources than preventative maintenance, work and inspection.
