Pro Tips

  • Pipeline coating is critical for preventing corrosion and extending service life
  • Follow NACE/SSPC standards for surface preparation and coating application
  • Consider cathodic protection systems in conjunction with coatings
  • Factory-applied coatings generally provide better quality than field-applied
  • Inspect coating integrity before and after installation
  • Document all coating work for regulatory compliance
  • Consider environmental impact of coating materials and application methods
