Integrated management of coatings as a protective solution against infrastructure corrosion

Adequate infrastructure maintenance involves regular inspections, preventive maintenance, timely repairs, upgrading and modernisation, efficient asset management, training and awareness. By following these guidelines, infrastructure functionality, safety and durability can be ensured.

 TECNALIA helps to ensure the protection provided by coatings:

• Addressing the construction project from the beginning: with the design of the protection system, manufacturing control and specification of the maintenance procedures.
• Conducting failure analysis studies to establish solutions when a pathology has already started prematurely.
• Carrying out an analysis of the condition of the coating when deficiencies occur in the maintenance plan.

TECNALIA offers:

• Support for technical specifications, including the design of the protection system.
• Approval of suppliers and validation of solutions.
• Quality control of the manufacturing process of metallic structures, including corrosion protection systems, transport and assembly of the structures.
• Design and implementation of preventive maintenance plans.
• Periodic scheduled inspections.
• Failure analysis and inspection of premature damage.
