Coatings Consulting and Inspection

It also highlights how important it is to develop the right specifications to get the desired results.

Some of the inspections requests more frequently are:

Coatings / Batch Numbers / Shelf Life / Expiration Dates
Ambient Conditions
Visual Appearance
Dry Film Thickness
Cure Testing

Adhesion Testing

Coatings Condition Assessments

A quality maintenance program should assess existing conditions before proceeding with improvement solutions. Is your tank, bridge, or equipment due for scheduled maintenance? Do the coatings themselves show the need for attention that you are unaware of? G L Stone can check your coatings to determine if they are fit for service, or need repair or replacement. No matter the outcome, you can trust that G L Stone provides reliable assessments that benefit the performance of your assets.
