Inspection
& Repair
Lining condition assessment, holiday detection, thickness measurement, and on-site repair — extending the service life of rubber, plastic, and coating systems across operating plants.
Protecting the protection
Even the best lining systems require periodic inspection and eventual repair. Planned maintenance extends service life by decades — unplanned failure causes plant shutdowns costing millions.
Our inspection teams assess rubber linings, plastic linings, and coating systems using holiday detection, thickness measurement, hardness testing, and visual assessment.
When repair is needed, we deploy the same application teams who installed the original lining. Same procedures, same materials, same quality — whether the equipment is in our shop or at your plant.
A scheduled inspection costs a fraction of an unplanned failure. We help you plan maintenance before the lining tells you it's too late.
Preventive Protection
Inspection and repair across all lining types
Four service categories covering the full lifecycle of corrosion protection systems.
Holiday Detection
100% surface scanning for pinholes, pores, and discontinuities. Low-voltage wet sponge and high-voltage spark methods.
Condition Assessment
Non-destructive thickness measurement, Shore A hardness, adhesion pull-off testing. Detailed condition report with recommendations.
On-Site Repair
Rubber patch vulcanisation, plastic weld repair, coating touch-up — on-site at your plant during planned shutdowns.
Emergency Response
Emergency repair teams for unplanned failures. Temporary and permanent repair solutions to minimise downtime.
Systematic assessment to actionable plan
A structured inspection and repair workflow.

Annual Inspection Program —
FGD Absorber
5-year inspection and maintenance contract for FGD absorber rubber lining at a 600MW power plant. Planned patch repairs during annual shutdowns extended lining life by 8+ years.
