Independent Corrosion & Protective Coating Inspection for Infrastructure and Industrial Assets

Independent inspection of surface preparation and coating application to verify compliance with project specifications and industry standards.Typical activities include:• Surface preparation verification (ISO 8501 / SSPC)
• Environmental monitoring
• Wet film thickness measurement
• Dry film thickness measurement
• Holiday detection
• Inspection reporting
Technical evaluation of steel assets to identify corrosion risks and determine appropriate coating maintenance strategies.Services include:
• Asset condition inspections.
• Coating system evaluation.
• Identification of corrosion mechanisms.
• Maintenance and remediation recommendations.


Independent verification of blasting and coating contractors during project execution to ensure specification compliance and reduce risk of premature coating failure.Typical scope:
• Inspection during blasting and coating operations
• Environmental condition verification
• Inspection hold-point management
• QA reporting and documentation

Technical investigation of coating failures to determine root cause and recommend appropriate remediation strategies.Includes:
• Visual inspection
• Adhesion testing
• Failure mechanism analysis
• Remediation recommendations

Corrosafe operates in accordance with internationally recognised corrosion and coating inspection standards, including:• ISO protective coating standards
• SSPC / AMPP surface preparation standards
• Protective coating inspection procedures
• Corrosion assessment methodologies

Corrosafe inspection activities are performed by qualified personnel with training in corrosion inspection and protective coating quality assurance.Inspection work is undertaken in accordance with recognised industry certification frameworks and technical standards used throughout the protective coatings industry.Relevant professional certifications may include:• AMPP / NACE Coating Inspector certification (NACE 3 / Senior Coatings Inspector)
• Institute of Corrosion (ICorr) Coating Inspector certification
• ICorr Epoxy PFP Inspection
• ICorr Cementitious PFP Inspection
• ICorr Insulation InspectionThese certification frameworks provide structured training in coating inspection, surface preparation standards, coating application verification and failure analysis.
Independent technical review of protective coating specifications to identify risks, constructability issues, and long-term durability concerns before project execution.Services may include:
• Review of coating system selection for service environment
• Verification of surface preparation requirements
• Review of specified DFT ranges and tolerance limits
• Identification of specification conflicts or impractical requirements
• Assessment of maintenance strategy and coating life expectancy
• Recommendations for specification improvement


Corrosafe provides corrosion inspection and coating QA services to organisations responsible for maintaining critical steel infrastructure.Industries include transport infrastructure, water utilities, marine and port facilities and industrial assets.
With inspectors based in Melbourne and Perth, Corrosafe supports asset owners, contractors and engineering firms across Victoria and Western Australia with independent corrosion inspection and coating quality assurance services available Australia-wide.
