Paint Inspection
The corrosion of machinery and structures leads to a loss of functionality and structural integrity, which can be both dangerous and costly for a company.
It is estimated that corrosion costs UK companies around £60 billion in material reparation and new build replacements each year
The corrosion of machinery and structures leads to a loss of functionality and structural integrity, which can be both dangerous and costly for a company. It is estimated that corrosion costs UK companies around £60 billion in material reparation and new build replacements each year; therefore it is much more cost-effective to have regular paint inspection surveys carried out.
