Independent Protective Coating Inspection for Critical Infrastructure

AMPP Senior Coatings Inspector providing independent inspection,
corrosion risk assessment, and contractor QA oversight for
infrastructure, marine, and industrial assets across Australia.

Protective Coating Inspection

Verification of surface preparation and coating application
to ensure specification compliance and long-term coating performance.
• Surface preparation inspections
• Environmental monitoring
• Wet film thickness measurement
• Dry film thickness measurement
• Holiday detection
• Inspection reporting

Certifications & Competency

Inspection services delivered by AMPP-certified coatings inspectors
with specialised training in corrosion inspection and passive fire protection systems.
• 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 Inspection

Coating Failure Investigation

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

Corrosion Risk Assessments

Technical evaluation of assets to identify corrosion risks and determine appropriate coating maintenance strategies.• Asset condition inspections
• Coating system evaluation
• Identification of corrosion mechanisms
• Maintenance and remediation recommendations

Contractor QA Oversight

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

Coating Specification Review

Independent technical review of protective coating specifications to identify risks, constructability issues, and long-term durability concerns before project execution.• 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
• Assessment of maintenance strategy and life expectancy
• Recommendations for specification improvement

Industries Served

• Transport infrastructure
• Water utilities
• Marine and port infrastructure
• Industrial processing facilities
• Mining and refining
• Manufacturing
• Oil and gas assets

When Independent Coating Inspection Is Required

Independent coating inspection is commonly required during:• Major maintenance shutdowns
• New infrastructure construction
• Protective coating remediation programs
• Marine and offshore asset maintenance
• Warranty or coating failure investigations
• Contractor QA verification on high-risk assets

Why Independent Inspection Matters

Coating contractors are responsible for delivering the work, but independent inspection ensures that surface preparation, environmental conditions, and coating application comply with project specifications.Independent verification reduces the risk of premature coating failure, costly remediation, and asset downtime.

Inspection Deliverables

Typical inspection deliverables include:• Surface preparation inspection reports
• Environmental condition monitoring records
• Wet and dry film thickness measurement records
• Holiday detection reports
• Coating non-conformance reports
• Final inspection and compliance verification reports
