Coating repair/applied systems
Damage to the outer casings can have several causes. It can occur during application in the factory, during storage or transport, during instalment of the pipes or during the operational phase. Prior to the repair of the pipes a visual inspection has to take place, which consists of three parts:
- Investigating the coating (coating type, thickness, damages etc.)
- Investigating the steel surface (colour of the surface, (type) of corrosion present etc.)
- Determining the coating (repair) system to be used
Korf KB (Cathodic Protection) repairs damages to the outer coating. We are certified to work with the following coating (repair) systems:
- Stopaq
- Densoleen
- KEBU
- Bitumen
- Protegol (spot repair epoxy coating)
