Preparing for and applying coatings such as paint must be closely managed to achieve a surface that will last for its specified lifespan.
Surface coatings are an essential part of maintaining key UK assets such as steel structures, bridges, marine assets and more. Preparing for and applying coatings must be closely managed to achieve a surface that will last for its specified lifespan without needing costly repairs.
Often, the preparation process starts with abrasive blasting to create a clean, rough surface ready for adhesion, painting or lining. However, once the surface is prepared, there is a small window of time to apply the the relevant coating before the exposed metal reacts with the air.
