Corrosion invisible through paint. Structural wastage that looks solid. Frame-to-plating failure that shows nothing externally. Steel surveying requires ultrasonic equipment and experience, we bring both.
150+ point hull plating survey. Hull bottom, topsides, deck, frames, and suspect areas. Identifies hidden corrosion and structural wastage with zero visible indication externally.
Bilge access inspection of all frames and floors. Internal corrosion at frame-to-plating connections, the most common critical finding in steel vessels over 10 years.
Paint adhesion testing. Underfilm corrosion identification. Remaining service life assessment. Recoating specification if required, correct system to Sa2.5 standard.
Bonding system inspection. Zinc anode condition. Impressed current cathodic protection assessment where fitted. Stray current corrosion testing.
Weekly visits for steel builds in Turkish yards. Plate grade verification, weld inspection, blast and paint protocol monitoring, the most critical aspect of any steel build.
Steel refit oversight. Plate replacement, weld repair, full re-blast and recoating. We hold the yard to the correct paint sequence, Sa2.5, 4-hour window, DFT verification.
