AMPP Certified Coating Inspection Services by Engrity Inspection

Hello Industrial Partners,

Protective coatings play a critical role in safeguarding industrial assets. From pipelines and pressure equipment to structural steel and storage tanks, coatings protect against corrosion, chemical exposure, weathering, and mechanical damage. When applied correctly, they extend asset life and reduce long-term maintenance costs.

Yet coating failures remain one of the most common and expensive problems in industrial projects.

The question is: why do coatings fail—even when high-quality paint products are used?

The answer is simple: coating performance depends on far more than just the material. Proper surface preparation, environmental conditions, application techniques, and thorough inspection are all essential to success.

This is where Engrity Inspection makes the difference.

Coating Failures: More Than Just a Materials Issue

Many project owners assume that if they specify premium coating products, failures won’t occur. Unfortunately, this is rarely true.

Most coating failures are caused by factors such as:

• Inadequate surface preparation

• Improper application methods

• Incorrect coating thickness

• Poor environmental conditions during application

• Lack of proper quality control and inspection

Even the best coating system will fail if these critical steps are not properly managed and verified.

That’s why independent, certified coating inspection is essential.

The Role of Certified Coating Inspectors

Certified coating inspectors serve as the last line of defense between a successful coating project and a costly failure.

At Engrity Inspection, our AMPP (formerly NACE) certified inspectors provide expert oversight at every stage of the coating process. We ensure that:

• Industry standards are fully met

• Project specifications are strictly followed

• Regulatory requirements are satisfied

• Proper procedures are consistently applied

• All work is thoroughly documented

Our goal is simple: to make sure coatings are applied right the first time.

Comprehensive Coating Inspection Services

Engrity Inspection offers a full range of coating inspection services designed to protect your assets and reduce project risk.

Surface Preparation Verification

Proper surface preparation is the foundation of coating performance. Our inspectors verify:

• Cleaning methods

• Surface profile

• Blast quality

• Contamination removal

Without proper preparation, even the best coating will fail prematurely.

---

Monitoring of Each Coat Application

We provide independent inspection throughout the application process to ensure:

• Correct mixing procedures

• Proper application methods

• Adherence to manufacturer recommendations

• Required drying and curing times

---

Environmental Condition Monitoring

Temperature, humidity, and dew point have a major impact on coating performance. Our inspectors verify that conditions remain within acceptable limits before and during application.

---

Coating Thickness Measurement

Applying coatings too thin or too thick can lead to serious performance issues. We conduct precise thickness measurements to confirm compliance with project specifications.

---

Holiday Detection

Holiday testing identifies pinholes, voids, and discontinuities in protective coatings—preventing future corrosion problems.

---

Adhesion Testing

We perform adhesion tests to confirm that coatings are properly bonded to the substrate and will perform as intended.

---

Final Inspection and Reporting

At the completion of every project, we provide:

• Detailed inspection reports

• Complete documentation packages

• Compliance verification

• Quality assurance records

This documentation is critical for asset owners, regulatory audits, and long-term maintenance planning.
