Coating and lining systems are the first line of defense against infrastructure deterioration caused by water, reclaimed water, wastewater, corrosive soils, and chemical exposure.
Coating Systems
Management
V&A helps clients with coating assessments, coating selection, specifications, third-party evaluations, and maintenance.
Our approach to coating systems management involves performing structure assessments (including confined-space entries) meeting American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI), National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE), Society of Protective Coatings (SSPC) standards; selecting and specifying appropriate coatings options; as well as performing inspections during construction and third-party evaluation while monitoring the coating process in its entirety from surface preparation to curing.
V&A continually explores new products and meets with coating manufacturers to keep up with the industry practices. We recommend qualified contractors for new and reapplied coatings, and assist our clients with requests for information, submittals, and change order requests. We are proponents of third-party inspections and team up with local coating inspection companies to monitor the entire process.
Coatings are a significant part of the budget of an infrastructure corrosion protection system. It can also greatly extend the life of the system when applied correctly and maintained over time. We provide clients with expert data and recommendations to ensure infrastructure preservation.
