Corrosion protection

Surface preparation that meets NORSOK M501

Coating failures offshore almost never start with the paint — they start with the steel. We prepare every surface to the blast grade, profile and cleanliness NORSOK M501 requires, holding humidity and dew point inside spec before a single coat goes on.

Coating systems built for the asset, not the catalogue

We apply multi-coat epoxy and polyurethane systems by spray and brush, with a dedicated stripe coat on edges, welds and bolts where film thickness pulls thin — the detail that decides whether a system reaches its design life. Our Viana workshop runs a dedicated XYLAN coating line alongside conventional spray booths.

Beyond paint: thermal spray, composite repair and UHP cleaning

For components that need a metallic barrier, we thermal-spray zinc and aluminium coatings. For structural repairs, we install engineered composite wraps as an alternative to hot work on live systems. And where abrasive blasting isn't an option — inside a running plant — we clean and prepare surfaces with ultra-high-pressure water jetting instead.

The result is a corrosion control programme that is documented, repeatable and built around the standards our clients audit against, onshore and offshore.
