Is Your Asset Fit For Service?

Without proper service and maintenance, corrosion can cost significant money and time. Some of the costs associated with poorly maintained storage tanks and pipelines are:

- Rust intrusion causing inferior product quality. Investigating the cause of the reduced product quality takes time and money. It can also cause delays in fulfilling orders which can impact the relationship you have with your customers.

- Deterioration of the steel tank can cause leakage of the product. Incidents where the leaked product contaminates the ground can invite significant financial penalties from environmental agencies. The leaked product also increases the likelihood of risks associated with spilled hazardous liquids such as slips, burns, inhalation etc. which can cost money in people having time off, invite HSE involvement and invite compensation claims and violations under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 Section 2 which can come with up to 2 years imprisonment and unlimited fines.

- Irreparable damage caused by corrosion which means the tank needs to be replaced. This can often be an extremely costly process, with the logistical hassle, time and headache of organising delivery of the new tank and removal and suitable disposal of the failed tank.

Asset Maintenance

A well structured asset maintenance programme will go a long way in preventing the above scenarios, and a key element of a maintenance programme is inspection.

Ferrous Protection employ ICorr Protective Coating Inspectors and Senior Corrosion Technologists who are fully qualified and certified to carry out such lining inspections.

We can undertake a range of both destructive and non-destructive tests and provide fully comprehensive inspection reports and remedial recommendations.

The job has gone well, the boys were well organised and the work executed well. Nice professional job . The weekly update is also refreshing rather than having to chase companies for progress updates.” – Project Manager, Statutory Corporation of the Ministry of Defence.

Just a short email to pass on our appreciation for the works executed during the last two weeks. We found your team to be punctual, helpful, hardworking and a credit to your company. From the repair to the GRP lining of the large jet fuel tank, to the minor touch-up repairs on the small diesel tanks, the works were carried out seamlessly and to a high standard, and this has been confirmed by the independent coating inspector today. Please pass on our thanks to Mariusz and Marian and we look forward to working with FPL again in the near future.” – Project Engineer, Leading Environmental Consultancy to the Defence Sector.
